Wedding
There are many things in the world that make Nelaros nervous. Knives, for example. Torture chambers. Dark alleys. People that he doesn't know that stand uncomfortably close when there is definitely enough space for everyone in the street without needing to crowd him.
But he doesn't recall a moment in his life where he was so calm when, by all rights, he should probably be completely freaking out. It's just marriage, it doesn't really matter to him. It's more - life partner, than lover. He hopes the one he finds is - not an idiot. Not going to take up the drink and drink him and any children they have into destitution. Obviously he's not going to have children with her if that fate's likely. So it's just - a person that he is married to. Which, really, isn't so bad.
So, on the day of his marriage to a stranger he doesn't know, in an unfamiliar and terrifying town, he sits under the Vhenadahl. It's not time for the wedding just yet, he's a few hours early.
