Is it his turn to sort of get cold feet? A little, yeah. In their time, in their world, they wouldn't even have to do this. No one else really had to acknowledge who or what they were together, there wasn't any need for it to be official. All the same, Toby had dreamed of it, wished for it, and made it reality in this world.
So while it would've been absolutely delightful to have both the ceremony and official paperwork at the same time... Well, they've made compromises before, and they aren't exactly losing out on this one.]
We can do it, then. [He reaches for Dorian's hand into his own and brush it with his cool fingers.] Get it worked out, celebrate it with everyone else some other day.
