[Niko has had a little bit of a confusing week. He didn't expect to be asked along on a diplomatic mission; usually not anything he's good at (in his mind). But he came along, figuring he was there as bodyguard more than anything else.]

[But now he's returned, and he wants to check in.]

Hey, ah.... So I just got back. I had to go with Thán for a mission and now he has a new boyfriend for peace purposes I guess. I am not really sure what happened there. Sort of like an arranged marriage? [He's actually kind of suspicious of this whole-matchmaking thing now. He's always disliked match-making on some level, but there is something deeply unsettling about it here. Just how mandatory and committing it seems.]

[He doesn't hate the match he was given, not at all. But he knows there might be people they're even better suited to.]

Look, I am a little nervous about this big business here. Capitalism is shit, government is shit, and is bad enough when taking advantage of lonely people. But I think we are going to have to be sure to be good to the new guy because we saw what happened the last time we fucked up diplomacy.

My best to Thán and his new groom. Should I be expecting to produce wedding apparel or will our Captain be preferring a private, casual affair?

I think casual. And I am not so good at English, but casual might also mean denial in this sense.

I do hope he doesn't jilt his 'second self'. Especially since Emiri seems to make this entire affair its bread and butter.

[ He does wonder at how conveniently almost all of the crew was matched with others aboard. What were the odds on that? ]

I am sure after period of adjustment they can say for sure whether it works for them.

Until then I guess he must share a cabin with someone he doesn't know. But considering we all must do this? He will probably be fine. If it goes so good no one has to use an airlock? I will consider it a success.

From what I've heard his rooms are spacious enough that sharing them won't be too much inconvenience for him. If we're lucky perhaps all this nonsense will work out and we won't be escorted off planet at gunpoint.
