When the corners of her mouth twitched up, that sealed the deal for him. Alfred broke out into a wide grin himself.
"Alright," he agreed, nodding. "Let's do it."
This was not going to endear him to Zelda's father, he realized, but if she was willing to go through with it, then what could he say in objection? Besides, if they were able to actually spend time together out in the open, maybe he'd have a chance to endear himself to him (and the rest of Zelda's family) sooner or later. They could have a long courtship, if that helped anything. Courting for the next five years would be better than trying to do this indefinitely, or cutting things off entirely.
After a beat, though, a sobering thought occurred to him. His smile faded and he added quietly, "But — we should probably wait until the curse is... gone."
No use pissing off her entire family if he was just going to die in a month, after all.
MJ made the most Alfredy of sets and then two years later she made it EVEN BETTER
