I'd like to invite him.

[He has no idea whether Gojyo would like to come or not, but as a marker of Hakkai considering him family, the invitation is necessary.]

You, myself, Edwin, Xie Lian... Idia too, I think. He's also Xie Lian's student.

[It might have to be more than ten people if everyone on Jedao's side of the family table is invited.]

Plus Arthur and John, since John is his brother. And Hunter.

[There's three sides to invite. Four with Idia, if Hakkai and Xie Lian count separately.]

And Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei and Godric. I don't know about Archer or Eric. They're Godric's family but not really mine, yet.

[But he does want those three. He wants to - show them that Edwin is his, and give Edwin the family he's worked to build here. A gift, a welcome.]

So it does have to be the Enclosure, maybe? I mean, we could use the deck or the dining Hall, but that's even more public.

... And Sebastian, maybe. But I think with him, I'd like to ask before I consider giving out an invitation.

[Gojyo is his family: there's no question about that. Sebastian might or might not appreciate the implications, and he would most certainly pick up on them all.]

I think it would have to be the Enclosure. That's a few too many people for our cabin, and it's definitely too many for Xie Lian's.

[And if they're keeping it private, then holding it in a public place is asking for trouble.]

And I'll check with Edwin if there's anyone else he'd want there.

All right.

[A brief pause, and then, smiling crookedly, he blows Jedao a kiss through the communicator.]

It might help distract Xie Lian from worrying, too. Thank you, Jedao-shei.
