Gale gave her a Look.
"No, really, that's quite all right," he said flatly, though there was an edge of amusement to his voice. "I really don't need to be the Maid of Honor. Especially since I'm, you know, not a maid."
Another pause.
"And Bix had better not take that as a challenge." I know you Bix.

Molly was smiling now as she pulled her coffee back and took another sip. Now that she knew this was all a running joke now, she felt happy to indulge and keep it going. She pretended to pout, only briefly. “Oh, I suppose…but…but…!” She set her cup down and smacked a fist on her palm, and then pointed a finger at him. “How about ring bearer!?” She asked excitedly.
“Too bad there are two rings, huh? Because if there was only one, we could make a Lord of the Rings reference!”

His tea was long forgotten and sitting several feet away from Gale on the table, probably ice cold by now - but he was more focused on Molly, who was smiling brightly. It made him relax a little, knowing she was back to being her old self.
"Ring bearer only if you don't say anything about - " Gale started to say, then grimaced a little, shaking his head.
"You and Bix. You really are a good match for each other."

How the whole situation ended up playing out, Molly started to laugh. Friendly banter. It was nice. The young woman just started to laugh, and she laughed merrily. At one point, she had to wrap an arm around her stomach, and after some more time, ended up putting a hand over her mouth to stifle it. It eventually died down to just giggles, and she reached up to wipe an eye with a sleeve. “ Oh goodness!” She breathed. “ I’m so sorry!” She then leaned over the table a bit, blushing once more as he said they were a good match. “ Oh dear, Gale! You’re making me blush!” Obviously. “… But…but as long as I never make another reference again, will you be the ring bearer, please?” She batted her lashes and smiled widely.

He was glad she was laughing - that was certainly much more preferable to seeing her upset, and Gale was glad she was not quite as brain broken as she had been when he had mentioned marriage.
Now he just had to figure out whether or not she was actually serious in asking him to be the ring bearer at a fictional wedding (or maybe a future one, Gale did not really want to bring it up again).
"Well," he said, and looked away modestly, as though bashful. "I suppose I could do that for you."
A pause.
"As long as at Bix's bachelor party I get to dunk him in a vat of pudding or something like they do on those horrid game shows on the telly."

“Really!?” Molly cried, clasping her hands together. “That’d be the best thing ever!” Molly swayed in her seat happily, before she held a pinky finger out to the young man. “Promise?” She was grinning a bit. Was Gale promising to be a ring bearer at a fictional wedding? Or just promising to be a ring bearer at a wedding in the future if one ever happened? HMMMM…
Molly paused at stare at him as he talked about a vat of pudding. She stared at him for a long moment before smiling widely. “Of course!” She agreed. “Just make sure it’s not vanilla pudding though, okay? Or else you’d never find him! It’d be like trying to find a polar bear in snowstorm.”

He was blushing a little, but it was the good kind of blush, not the kind of blush that made him want to sink down into his chair and disappear forever. Molly was just the kind of person that he couldn't dislike, no matter what happened.
"Promise," he said, and linked his pinky with hers for a brief moment before pulling away, smiling.
A choking snort escaped his lips, Gale putting a hand up to stifle his laughter. "Yes, well, vanilla pudding, perhaps not so much. I would say chocolate, but Bix would probably just sit there and eat it all, so how about pistachio? It's neon green and perfect."

Molly was just as happy as a clam now as Gale promised, and clapped her hands excitedly.
She grinned as Gale tried to stifle his laugh. “Don’t hold it in, Gale!” Molly cooed, leaning over the table to waggle her fingers at him. “Laughing is the best medicine; don’t only get half the dose!” She then laughed as Gale talked about pistachio pudding. “Perfect! With his red eyes, he’ll stand out amongst it as well! Good idea, Gale! So remember, bachelor party, vat of pistachio pudding!”

"Okay, okay," said Gale, and to his surprise, he was now laughing so hard it was difficult to breathe. He couldn't remember the last time he had ever let himself go this much - a few of the hunters at different tables were giving them odd looks, but Gale was too busy to pay much attention.
"He'll look like Christmas - red eyes and green pudding all over," Gale managed to get out, before a fresh wave of giggles overtook him.

Molly stared at Gale in awe. He looked so…nice…when he laughed. Molly ended up grinning wider as he didn’t try to stifle it, and just ended up laughing again as well, completely ignoring the people staring at them as well.
“Oh my goodness!” The Misty gasped. “He really would! I’d almost suggest a winter wedding to keep up with the Christmas theme, but then I’d be afraid of losing him in the snow!” Molly just ended up giggling some more. Such a silly train of thought, but she was having fun, and it seemed that Gale was too!

He felt strange, laughing so much. It had been so long that he'd forgotten what it was like to let go, to really let go and just...laugh.
And Gale could see now why she was good for Bix.
Still laughing, Gale managed to get out, "He should just add some fur and be the abominable snowman for a winter wedding."
Cue more giggling.

This conversation had just gotten ridiculous now, and Molly didn’t care one bit.
In fact, she was going to keep adding to the ridiculousness. “Oh my goodness! Fur?” She echoed between giggling. “If that happens, I think eloping would be the better idea! At a wedding filled with hunters, someone would be carrying a trap gun and net him!” Just that thought alone sent Molly into another fit of laughter, and at this point she was starting to tear up.

Ridiculous conversation was good for the soul.
Or maybe just the very, very stressed and tired.
"No, no wait," said Gale, now bursting into peals of laughter that had him holding his stomach. He waved a hand at Molly and gasped out, "Better idea - make him do the entire ceremony in Lord of the Rings speak. 'One ring to wed us both...'"

Molly clamped a hand tightly over her mouth to stifle her giggles and laugher as Gale brought up another idea, watching and waiting with wide, amused eyes. “ Oh my gosh!” She gasped, removing her hand. “ That would be amazing!” She cried in between giggles. “ But then I would have to learn too! I’d be in trouble, Gaaaaale!” She cried, wiping her eyes as she laughed.

"And you can wear that tiara thing that Arwen wears in the last movie," said Gale. He felt his nerd level rising, but at the moment he didn't really care. "And Bix can wear what Legolas wears - that shiny silver tunic thing."
Shaking his head, Gale leaned over, his forehead against the tabletop. He was still laughing a little, but after a moment he said, "Thanks, Molly. You know, for...cheering me up."
