Weddings. Fuck, he hated weddings. He was cynical about marriage ever since his ex-wife had abandoned him without saying goodbye and on the most haunting day he had ever had in his life. Having to find his children dead and coming back to see his wife had used the opportunity of him searching to pack her things and leave had left a bitter heartache in his chest that he would never be able to get rid of. Despite having fallen in love many times with others, he had always bailed when things became too intimiate and his companion would desire for them to take it to the next level. He didn't want to ruin their relationships but he just couldn't do it. He would agree to it and had been fiance to many before but a few days before each wedding, the male would ramble onto the many reasons why it wouldn't work. Bad weather. Too fast. Anything he could pull out of the hat, he would use. But this time, Pincher didn't have any excuses to pull for Jacob's and his wedding because he wanted to get married to his fiance. He loved him and adored him but the nervousness was not simply butterflies in his stomach, it was as if there was a tornado swirling inside his body and Pincher was slowly losing his cool exterior.

In the morning, he tended to take a cup of pitch black coffee to energize him but then he remembered that it was the day before the wedding. And well, Pincher began to take another cup mixed with vodka. And another. And another. And another. Next thing he knew his entire body was buzzing as he paced back and forth in his submarine home, mumbling in his native tongue about the wedding plans. The male's left ice blue eye twitched as he glanced around, suddenly feeling as if the walls were closing in around him. He sucked in a small shaky breath before muttering "La dracu." as the male forced himself to leave despite the work that was waiting at his desk. As soon as he stepped out, ice began to form beneath his paws and the demigod's powers began acting up. Sparks of electricity bounced on his dark ash gray fur and the wind around him picked up and despite the ice that began to lace his fur, he felt incredibly hot.

He rushed over towards the shore, reaching out to splash some water in his face but then right as his paws touched the water's surface, it suddenly froze it and spread incredibly fast, inching out and causing the waves to suddenly freeze before the tide broke them. Pincher's eyes widened and he groaned, going to a slouched sitting position with his figure flickering on and off due to his invisibility now malfunctioning. Fuck emotions, they were such a pain in the ass. Columns of ice slowly began to form around him and the captain was pretty sure he was going to faint with all the coffee that was fucking him up as well as the power malfunction. Shit, he hated weddings. But he wouldn't let himself bail despite the emotions that were becoming too extreme for him to control as he raised a paw to rub the side of his head to ease the daily headache that had decided to grow worse. Fucking great.

rinto didn't know much about pincher and his fiance, jacob. rinto was pretty uninvolved with clan life as a whole-- he still felt new and almost unwelcome, although that was his own fault. he decided he'd have to suck it up and get people to like him or this whole clan thing wouldn't exactly work.

narrowing pink eyes, the little tabby had been at the beach, standing in the crystal-clear water and watching fish dart between his legs. it was good fun and for once rinto felt happy with himself, until he heard the leader stumble over, and the water began to freeze. rinto stepped out of the water, unsure if he should talk to the clearly freaking out pincher. still, deep down, he felt empathy, and made his way over.

"sir?" he asked, cautiously, avoiding an ice-pillar. what was wrong with him? "w-what's the matter? my name's rinto, by the way," he had met pincher before but knew he was pretty insignificant so he restated his name.
