Part of Piotr recognizes that his girlfriend picks very strange times to get sentimental. Like now, sitting exhausted and pregnant on a bathroom floor, sorting through old keepsakes in front of the toilet.
Of course, Piotr tends to feel that any time is a time to be sentimental, so he has no room to talk here.
His mouth quirks, as he settles down again. "Brian and Meggan's wedding. I did not know you still had those."
That was an awkward wedding, at certain points. (Like the garter in question.) And a joyful one, all through.
He could say things here -- he could say, your father would have been proud, and mean it. He could say, mama would not have scolded much, and she liked things to fuss over. He could say, They would truly only care that we were happy, my Katya, and we are.
(He could look at those old drawings, from little Illyana when she was once again small and innocent, and trusted in her big brother and his friends to save her from the sickness that killed her.)
But Kate's hinting --
He's not certain, but neither is he completely oblivious, and he doesn't want to deflect too much from what she's leading up to. She'll find her own topic change if she wants one.
