Gifts and Merrymaking

Caressing your ear, the voice of Aeldra whispers, "My dear Lief. I sadly won't be able to attend your wedding and I'll hold off my congratulations till you are properly married, but for now, I wish you a safe journey into marriage and may you have an amazing wedding and may your days be blessed."

Aruokei begins to wield a cluster of snapdragons in her right hand.

Zitto Shevat says to you, "So good to see you again, my dear. Are you ready?"

Zitto Shevat says, "I think I'm ready."

You tell Lady Aeldra Ladyn, of Cerulean Waters, "Oh, I am so honored - I do miss you dearly, Aeldra. If you could be here, I would be so happy, but I shall carry your congratulations in my heart instead!"

-l me
Flowering vines wreathe the antlers which crown this faeling's head, adorning her with perpetual springtime no matter the season. Though she is a nimble faeling blossoming demigoddess, she appears otherwise mundane at first glance. With a boyish, twiggy figure that's taller than average and a sprightly, ruddy pixie haircut, she might be androgynous were it not for her softer features. Large, inquisitive gray eyes sit beneath strong and expressive brows, while a small, upturned nose wears the same proud constellation of freckles which scatters across her healthy, rounded cheeks. Pert and peach-stained lips lift into a natural smile unless some greater emotion temporarily seizes them. The wings which sprout from her back are not a butterfly's, but a dragonfly's, their long, limpid shapes occasionally glimmering with opalescence in the ambient light. Tattooed on her feet is an illustration of a gentle spray of apple blossoms. A lush fragrance dances about her as she stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.

She is wearing:
a translucent crystal bindi faintly illuminating her brow with prismatic colours
a snowy, flower-embossed kimono robe wrapping her in white
a fragile apple blossom hair pin flowering near her right ear
a blossom of blue flame tucked into the sash of her robes, its fires darkening the shadows that they
cast
an unbroken tattoo of apple blossoms upon the collar bones.

-l Zitto

He is a nimble faeling prismatic demigod. Though he is short for his kind, his straight posture gives the impression of greater stature. He is lithe, though not particular muscular. His angular face appears youthful in spite of his years, with cobalt blue eyes that stand sentinel above a jagged, aquiline nose.  His mannerisms are lively and animated, with eyes that jump about and an occasional smile, as if at a joke only he is party to. A lush fragrance dances about him as he stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.

His black hair has been slicked back against his scalp, glistening with the pomade used to achieve the effect. It leaves a pronounced widow's peak outlined against his forehead, creating an austere look that is as intimidating as it is debonair.
He is wearing:
an engraved ring of gold and beryl
a honeyed beryl engagement band
a translucent crystal bindi
a stark white suit with platinum buttons
stark white dress shoes with platinum grommets

Aruokei gives a horrified gasp.

The corners of Gurashi's mouth turn up as they grin mischievously.

Caressing your ear, the voice of Aeldra whispers, "Even if I could, I'm not sure I would make a good wedding guest right now. I have nothing suitable to wear and I am having trouble dividing reality and hallucinations. I spend the better part of a week deep inside pandemonium to banish the Beast of a Thousand Fates as some troublemaker thought it wise to release a creature that essentially is an Avatar of Kethuru. As a result, am paying the price right now, which means am hiding behind a statue in the garden and probably look like a fool as am trying to ward of imaginary opponents."

Gurashi looks to your foot, smiling and folding their arms behind their back. They step to stand beside an imposing kepheran princess of deep iridescent hues, flanked almost immediately by Bizirik as they look about the slowly growing crowd.

Fidgeting with the hair pin near her ear, you say to Zitto, "I am absolutely ready to be wed. I just hope... I hope everything is perfect for you."

Zitto smiles. "Everything will be perfect for our wedding day," he says confidently. "I am sure the Basin and even the fates themselves will treat us kindly for a day, at least."

Zitto Shevat says to you, "Though every day I spend with you is a treasure I hardly deserve. I love you."

The corners of Taemira's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

(Great House Myeras): You say, "If you wish, but we are not starting just this moment!"

(Yneli): Aruokei says, "Zitto said since Lief is my best friend he's now my best friend inlaw so that means I now have -two- friends."

Zitto Shevat says to Gurashi, "No, no, Princess Khepqet raises a good point. We should consider our options."

You pick up one of the bonbons and take a generous bite of it. Its bittersweet chocolate outer shell shatters easily, melting at the warm touch of your lips and tongue, giving way to reveal a pocket of bourbon fudge hidden inside a lusciously green filling of matcha ice cream. The faintly floral, grassy matcha and decadently rich bourbon fudge flavours fill your mouth, mingling harmoniously with the crunchy pieces of tooth-sticking toffee and toasted puffs of crispy rice. Syrupy, plump tidbits of rum-soaked sultanas add a seductively spicy, yet mellow note that resolves with a warming flourish of candied ginger. You polish off the remaining bonbons one by one, until all that remains is the fluted celadon bowl and a few odd smears of melted chocolate within.

Bright and clear, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says to you, "Look who I found!"

Gridare ceases to wield a blackened battleaxe with crow feathers.

-l aschwar
Radiant gold and inky black compete for prominence in the thick fur that covers this enormous tae'dae's body, the well-groomed hair shifting like fields of wheat and clouds through the night sky with each movement. Despite their thick limbs and eleven-and-a-half feet of height, an aura of well-being and contentment radiates off of their body, only enhanced by the gentle smile that is nearly always present on their muzzle. Glittering mis-matched eyes, the right brown and the left green, stare with a gentle warmth at the world around them, only inches below a pair of fuzzy ears with several notches missing from them. A brilliant red hieroglyph crackles in the centre of their forehead, flaring occasionally with small tendrils of red lightning. They are nicely dressed in a comfortable pair of deep grey trousers, held up by a burgundy belt of leather, and a three-layered tunic of bright red-violet cloth that fits them nearly perfectly. A hooded coat of striking vermillion hues hangs atop this, flower petals hand-sewn across its embroidery and circling the black star easily visible on their back. Light tan, a pair of strap boots are a stark contrast to their fur and have been decorated with little, hand-drawn moths. Shifting colours swirl around them in a small space, creating an aura of giddy serenity for all who pass through it.
Aschwar has an air of extreme strength.

Elexia smiles softly, reaching a hand up to her heart.

Kalas Orti says, "Too silly."

Zitto Shevat says to Aschwar, "I strive ever to be very kind to Lief. Little else occupies my mind."

Aschwar gives a sylphine poppy with stained blossoms to you.

As they pass the poppy over, Aschwar exclaims to you, "Surprise! I grew it myself!"

-p poppy
Larger than average, this poppy has been carefully and tenderly grown into an exact shape. Rather than falling into the traditional bell shape, its petals have spread upwards and outwards from the center pistil and stamen. The delicate white flesh has been stained throughout with the image of pink apple blossoms, swirling in a small storm around the center. Along the bottom of the petals, a small layer of sylphine flesh akin to butterfly wings fall away like peeling skin, the delicate strips shimmering with occasional opalescence in the ambient light.
It has 29 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It does not retain any heat whatsoever.

Coraline Myeras says, "An apple-blossom-poppy..."

Swaying, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says, "Beloved Aschwar grows bestest poppies."

Nialla Mes'ard, Midsummer Herald says, "Oh that poppy is wonderful."

Aschwar rubs the back of their neck with one large paw, sheepishly saying, "It is a very little gift, but I think it is very much like you, Friend Lief. I am not very good at cooking, but I am very good at flowers."

Gurashi looks at Aschwar, face lighting up as they smile brightly at him.
