Asking Tavi to be a Flower Girl

<--Gurashi waking up and asking Tridemon what he'd like to do. He announced he wanted to go meet Tavi, and so Gurashi rushed to make food to bring as an offering!!

They are a feathered trill kindly demigod changeling. Downy plumes of vibrant orange cascade in a tumble around their head, the cluster of feathers stopping just short of their shoulders and moving at the slightest breeze. A cluster of snow-white feathers grow near their right temple. A natural mask of downy black feathers have sprouted around their eyes, covering the upper portion of their face and fading in with the colorful orange feathers at the hairline and temples. A moderately-sized, crescent-shaped scar mars their right cheek, pink where it would otherwise be black. A hint of discolored flesh can be seen at the center of their sternum, mostly obscured by their clothing. Two tufts of feathers gather where their ears would normally be, adorned by long, curling feathers that react to their mood. Their eyes are wide and inquisitive, a stunning gray that looks almost blue against the bright orange and striking black feathers. They stand just shy of six foot even, with a thin, willowy build, their skin sandy and smooth. Hanging half-limp behind them are a pair of great apricot-colored wings, the covert feathers nearest to their back the same ebony-violet as the feathers that cover their brow and cheekbones. Their wings are sleek and shiny, evidence of recent grooming efforts. Moth-like wings of sheer power radiate away from their back in nightmarish waves of bizarre hues.
They are wearing:
a starry wreath of celestial light set atop their head like a halo
a circlet of crystal thorns resting loosely atop their head
a vivid red-orange poppy tucked lovingly behind their left ear
the Mantle of Starlight which flows dreamily about their shoulders and back
a breezy blue cotton tunic which hangs flatteringly from their form
mercurial Mysraian prayer beads pulled taut against their right wrist
a Glomdoring friendship bracelet which jingles softly on their left wrist
minty citrus incense beads pulled taut against their right wrist
a labyrinthine, shifting poppy worn delicately upon their left wrist
a driftwood ring of sea breezes fitted tightly to their left middle finger
simple white linen trousers which swish around their legs freely
Refined Boots of the Paladin, worn and weathered from use.

Your melodic voice sings into Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters's mind, "Have an elephant mochi Cheliyi made, and will bring some of my rainbow cakes, and some not-sweet noodles for the Empyreals, yes, in case She decides is hungry, too. Sound O-K?"

The melodious voice of Tridemon resonates in your mind, "Yep!"

Your melodic voice sings into Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters's mind, "Hold still, please!"

Reaching out with your mind, you grasp the harmonic song of the domothean energies as you seek Tridemon.

The lingering notes of harmonic purity swell to impossible heights as you step confidently through the song of reality itself.
The base of a small waterfall.
A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. A small, cool waterfall chatters its way down the cliff face at the north end of this canyon, spilling into a pool at the foot. Overflow from the pool trickles lazily away in a broad, shallow stream, down the length of the canyon to the south. Mosses and ferns grow thick under the trees that shade the canyon floor. An oak sapling clings tenaciously to the ground here. A small, mottled pig snuffles about here, looking for food. Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters with an Unknown face lingers nearby, the air about him singing with the rush of the ocean. He wields a dazzling white staff crowned by a platinum pearl in his left hand.
You see exits leading south and through a luminous waterfall.

You flail about helplessly.

You flap your wings excitedly at Tridemon, gusting the air about him.

You look at Tridemon hopefully.

LOOKIT TRIDEMON
He is a crystalline lucidian tidebourne demigod and his body is a strange combination of colours. Most of him is a deep violet colour, while his left arm is a combination of oceanic shades of deep blues and greens, shifting in a rhythmic, tidally slow dance, with ridges running from his wrist to elbow in a pattern resembling swirling, stylised waves. In addition, it appears that his fingers of his left hand, including his thumb, have an extra joint, tapering off to sharp- but not narrow- points. His right hand is far more mundane, aside from a scar of deep red and blue that encircles his entire ring finger. He doesn't have hair so much as sculpted spikes of crystal, flaring back along his skull almost like plumage. Much of his body is crossed by pale lines of discolored crystal, like scars, glittering opaline white with flecks of fiery rainbow color throughout, with a somewhat larger scar running vertically along his face from his chin to his forehead. He also presents an odd form of heterochromia in his eyes, with his right eye being a completely featureless orb of colorless crystal, while his left eye is broken up into three jagged sections, each approximately a third of the visible surface of his eye, showing amber, emerald, and opal segments, with pupils occupying both the emerald and amber.
Resembling an entity from the cosmic planes, his head is wreathed in undulating strands of shimmering cosmic fire. Attuned to his moods, the chromatic waves are in constant flux, from rising up in a halo of incandescent anger to streaming back in ripples of pleasure.
He is wearing:
an Elemental Cloak
a pearlescent aspergillum
a circlet of smooth stones slowly rotating around his head in a pattern as steady as the tides
a resonating lens of cascading patterns
A Silk Mask of Amusement
a resplendent amberlight blossom
the Mantle of Starlight
Thalassic Prayer Beads of the Sculptor of Waves wrapped around his left forearm, partially fused with the flesh there
a pair of thin spectacles worn slightly too low on his face to actually cover the entirety of his eyes
a symbol of Carakhan
a Celestian friendship bracelet
a ring of calming hues
a parafilament saddlebag
a silver necklace set with star sapphires
a delicate violet chrysanthemum brooch
bright white robes of platinum waves
a dark pearl pocket watch with a clover charm
Urlach's Black Gauntlet
a Brooch of the Elements
an elegant crimson briefcase
an amethyst crown representing the wine-dark sea
a weathered pair of travelling boots
a Runed Crown of Divine Light
a mark of Carakhan
an elegant knot of crystalline filaments
a suspiciously mundane wallet
a delicate white ring.

Thoughtfully, you say, "I do not know if any of Her Order are waking..."

Tridemon suddenly turns to you, and you watch as he reaches out and lightly boops you on the nose with a finger.

Your shoulders bunch as you let out a short giggle.

You flap your wings excitedly at Tridemon, gusting the air about him.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Well, if they are, I can't see them."

You begin to follow Tridemon.

You twiddle your thumbs.

Tridemon gives you a friendly squeeze.

You follow Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters to within the Lake of Polaris.

In an airy, melodic voice, you whisper, "O-K, remember to be po-lite! She might be napping, yes? Do not know how muchly she plays..."

Tridemon peers about himself unscrupulously.

You have emoted: Gurashi warbles off into silence, tucking their wings in close to their body, politely drifting along after Tridemon.

You follow Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters west to a glissade of water lilies.

You follow Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters west to pink lotuses adrift on starry waters.

Pink lotuses adrift on starry waters.
Polished river stones sunk into the shallow waters here allow one to drift aimlessly across the surface of this star-scattered pool, one of many formed by this island's countless waterfalls. Pink lotus blossoms float upon the water, their centres imbued with an amber glow that sends rays of golden light dancing across the area, while myriad koi swim just beneath the flowers. The song of frogs fills the air, while dainty damselflies dart between the lotus in beguiling and dizzying patterns. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. Tavi, an adorable white elephant festooned in star lotuses, looks about herself here with starry-eyed wonder. A low, protective growl escaping his muzzle, a tawny Nyalian mastiff sporting spiky steel platemail awaits instructions from his companion. Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters with an Unknown face lingers nearby, the air about him singing with the rush of the ocean. He wields a dazzling white staff crowned by a platinum pearl in his left hand.
You see a single exit leading east.

In an airy, melodic voice, you whisper, "So pretty..."

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "... well, that was straightforward."

You have emoted: Gurashi lets out another sing-song sound, focused mostly on the starry water at their feet.

You have emoted: Gurashi perks up at Tridemon's comment, wings flapping. "Oh! Fast!" They chirp, lifting a hand in greeting towards Tavi, the Pure-Hearted. "Good morning Miss Tavi! I hopes we did not wakes you!"

In an airy, melodic voice, you whisper, "But we might have."

You fret over everything that might go wrong.

You give an angelic spice cake to Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters.

You give a horrified gasp.

In an airy, melodic voice, you whisper, "Wrong one."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "Hello!"

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "'lo, little miss."

Nodding, you give a slice of layered rainbow cake with star-shaped sprinkles to Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters.

You eyes light up as you smile.

You chirp happily at Tavi, the Pure-Hearted.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted wiggles her ears playfully.

LOOKIT TAVI
Young and round, Tavi is an adorable white elephant with a beaming smile. A multitude of star lotuses crown her head in a circlet woven of flowers, settling behind two enormous ears each as large and wide as a massive palm frond. A breathtaking mantle of starry mist rests upon her alabaster hide, depicting the glittering constellation of an urn overflowing with four luminous streams of water. She walks about on four squat little legs, her flat feet large and ponderous in her clumsy gait. The elephant's golden eyes take in her surroundings with a childlike innocence, her tiny tail flicking back and forth with a sense of pure wonder. Her long trunk moves about with a gently probing curiosity, though she curls it up, abashed, when caught exploring where she shouldn't be.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted has an air of extreme strength.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted skips around Tridemon and you, sending starry water scattering in all directions. "Ooh! Cakes!"

In an airy, melodic voice, you exclaim, "Oh! Not a-sleeps!" They twirl once and drift forward, cake in hand. "Of course! Desserts!"

You nod your head sagely.

Cheerily, you give a slice of layered rainbow cake with star-shaped sprinkles to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted sniffs a slice of layered rainbow cake with star-shaped sprinkles curiously with her trunk before eating it with gusto.
Licking the crumbs, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "Wow! Why does Mother hate desserts so much? This is soo good!"

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted rubs her tummy and utters a barely audible 'Yum Yum.'

A rhapsodic, feminine voice carries over these starry waters, their twinkling surface brightening with healing light.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Also brought mochis! The kinds Cheliyi made for you, because she is still a-sleeps."

You chirp happily.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted bounces up and down.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "The mini-mes!"

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: What an energetic little lady.

You have emoted: Gurashi smiles over their shoulder at Tridemon, wings flapping. "Tridemon! Come say hi!" They look back to the calf, chirping. "Tavi! Meet Tridemon! Tridemon - Tavi!"

You nod your head sagely.

No less cheerful, you give a platter of powderfruit elephant mochi to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "Oh, oh! Is this the mochi that Cheliyi was talking about?!"
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted sniffs a platter of powderfruit elephant mochi curiously with her trunk before eating it with gusto.
Swooning, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "So sweet! So tasty!"

You nod your head emphatically.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted cheerily waves her trunk in greeting at Tridemon.

Tridemon offers Tavi, the Pure-Hearted a wave in return. watching the little elephant.

Happily, you say, "Is Cheliyi's dad, yes! It is about times you two said he-llo!" They bunch their shoulders. "How are you doing? Hopes we are not interrupting your naps or playtimes!"

Your wings flap excitedly behind you.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "Hello! Ohhhhh, Cheliyi is so nice! Must be happy to have such a good cook for a daughter."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted nods her head sagely.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: Ideal flower-girl material, in my mind.

You tilt your head curiously at Tridemon.

Your shoulders bunch as you let out a short giggle.

Only a flutter of silk precedes the regal entrance of a beautiful merian anchoress from the east.

You think to yourself: *for a moment they too envision the elephant reaching into a basket of petals and yeeting them into the air, sending the colorful bits scattering over everyone*.

A beautiful merian anchoress smiles serenely, her eyes shifting about her surroundings.

Whispering a parting blessing, a beautiful merian anchoress bows and gracefully departs to the east.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Do you mind if I sketch you? I'm planning on doing a few paintings later, and one of them is going to feature you, I think."

Puffing up with pride, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "Sketch me?! Oh! Oh, um, ok!"

You hands fly to your mouth as you give a short gasp of elation.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Oh! Fun!"

You flap your wings excitedly at Tridemon, gusting the air about him.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted attempts to position herself in what might be a flattering pose, but winds up looking a bit silly.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Tridemon is a -very- good artist, yes, you will see."

You nod your head sagely.

Tridemon pulps the wood into a paste and creates a sheet of paper, then carefully cuts it into 5 blank sketch sheets.

Tridemon breaks apart a piece of coal and plucks a thick shard from the rubble. With a careful eye he ponders Tavi, the Pure-Hearted for a moment before making deft sketches upon a thin sheet. Looking up from his work he glances at his model and nods in satisfaction.

Tridemon nods his head emphatically.

You have emoted: Gurashi quickly scrambles to get out of the way, wings flapping excitedly as they settle in to watch. "Is much more fun than a wizzerbox!"

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "And a lot less bright and annoying, yes."

You throw back your head as you let loose a delighted laugh.

Perplexed, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "What's a wizzaboxy?"

<-- me fumbling with wizzerbox

You ponder a wizzer image box thoughtfully, looking it up and down.

You display a wizzer image box for all in the room to see.

Utterly entranced, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted emits a long "Ooooh."

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Is a wizzers-boxes!"

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Yep, but that's not the important bit."

Tridemon drops an aquamarine shark.
An aquamarine shark lifts into the air by Tridemon's side as soon as he touches the ground, his body undulating as if he were swimming.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "It makes a wizz-y sound and then it makes a sketch of you but like," They snap their fingers to emphasize how quick the process is. "Problem is it is -very- bright."

Insistently, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "My eyes are -very- good."

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Price that pay, for quickness! Bright lights!"

You face lights up as you smile brightly at Tridemon.

Trumpeting happily, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted sends a spray of water over her head, the sparkling water dancing about her like a veil of mist.

Your shoulders bunch as you let out a short giggle.

Tridemon positions himself between Tavi, the Pure-Hearted and the floating shark so that the flash will be aimed away from the elephant.

Tridemon lifts up a wizzer image box and points it at an aquamarine shark, pulling a lever on the side of the contraption. It begins to click and whirr, and a bulb rises up from the contraption. With a bright flash, you find yourself blinded momentarily. As your vision recovers, you notice a piece of paper floating into Tridemon's hands from the machine.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Tridemon does bestest sketches, but wanna see a wizzerbox in action? We can take a --."

You have emoted: Gurashi squawks as <the shark's> picture is taken, blinking owlishly once, twice, thrice.

You point accusingly at Tridemon.

You have emoted: Gurashi fumbles and reaches up to rub at their eyes. "Ouwah. Like -that-."

Tridemon gives a sketch of an aquamarine shark to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted shakes her head at Tridemon.

A crystalline poppy with inlaid smoke shimmers and shines as its petals crystallise in a brilliant display of light.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Shark-sketch."

Tridemon proudly shows off a sketch of an aquamarine shark:
Blocks of aquamarine beryl have been carved and fitted together into the form of this shark curio. The body and fins are sleek and streamline, notched together with rivets at the appropriate joints. Tiny spheres of black onyx serve as the curio's eyes while rows of diamond triangles line the open maw. Darker lines of navy and cerulean stripe the shark's body, running parallel from nose to tail. Five lines in minute black letters are scrawled on its belly.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted looks around furtively, brings her hand to her mouth and releases a small 'teehee'.

Your shoulders bunch as you let out a short giggle.

Her giant ears fanning out curiously, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "Are you all here to take pictures?"

You eyes light up as you smile.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Well, more here to do some planning, really."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "That sounds very serious!"

You have emoted: Gurashi looks curiously back towards Tridemon. "I am following my dear one," They explain. "He wanted to meet you! I think, that was as far as I knew..." They laugh. "Oh! We are planning?" They turn to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted and nod sagely. "We are planning."

You flap your wings excitedly at Tridemon, gusting the air about him.

You tilt your head curiously at Tridemon.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: Definitely want an elephant flower-girl, then?

You stare blankly into space.

You throw back your head as you let loose a delighted laugh.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted plops down in the water, inadvertently causing a small splash. "Is it fun planning or the not-fun planning?"

In a bemused whisper, you ask Tridemon, "I-is that a thing? A real thing?"

You look at Tridemon hopefully.

Happily, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "I think it is fun? I think so!"

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted wiggles her ears happily, pleased to hear so.

Tridemon leans in conspiratorially toward Tavi, the Pure-Hearted and whispers loudly, "We're doing super-duper important planning. Which is going to involve lots and lots of cake."

You have emoted: Gurashi's plumage puffs up happily as they turn their attention back to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted. "Yeah! Parties tend to have desserts."

You beam broadly at Tridemon.

You brandish a slice of layered rainbow cake with star-shaped sprinkles menacingly.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted leans forward conspiratorially, her large ears now fully attuned to every word Tridemon is saying. "Cake, you say?" she asks, attempting to feign disinterest and failing miserably.

Flowing waterfalls drown out all other ambient sounds here with the soothing, uninterrupted music of cascading water.

You have emoted: Gurashi too turns their attention towards Tridemon, grinning as they attempt to balance a plate housing another slice of cake upon the surface of the water, but it clearly isn't going to float so they do not leave it, awkwardly holding it near to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted while they await the lucidian's response.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Mmhmm. And we're definitely inviting you along. We might even give you a job to do... which naturally pays in extra cake."

You think to yourself: *excitement, imagining Cheliyi's face if she found out the elephant would be allowed to attend, now the two of them skipping and throwing petals into the air - so many colors...*.


Blurting out her answer excitedly, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "I am so good at jobs involving cake!"

You have emoted: Gurashi stares off into the space closer to the waterfall, looking quite lost in their thoughts.

You think to yourself: *permission asked? cannot assume to do the thing without asking The Lady firstly - who would keep an eye on? Ham would be goodly but does not make magical floating platforms ... but will not be playground equipment to climb so no issues - colorful meandering thoughts continue to grip their attention*.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: I don't see a reason why we can't tell Tavi we're getting married... or that we'll need Lady Lantra's permission for her to come.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted bounces with anticipation, her curiosity running rampant.

You blink.

You have emoted: Gurashi looks towards Tridemon curiously, as it drawn back into the moment by something unseen. They cant their head, then smile, puffing up with pride and letting out a cheerful chirp.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "We don't have a firm date in mind, but Gurashi and I are definitely getting married. And we're thinking you might make the cutest flower-girl in the whole wide world."

Excitedly, you say, "It will be a party! With friends and allies!" They look back towards Tavi, flashing a toothy smile. "Hence all of the cake! Will make sure is plenty of cake."

Gasping softly, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "A party! I have never been to a party." She beams at this, then asks brightly, "What's married?"

You think to yourself: *not -quite- understanding the concept or reasoning of a flower girl, but also what a cute concept of a flower girl*.

Only a flutter of silk precedes the regal entrance of a beautiful merian anchoress from the east.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "You have NEVER been to a party?" They puff their cheeks and lean in. "Ah! You'd have to ask the Empyreals! If was O-K? Even though we do not have a date. Would of course be peoples from Her Order! Your cousins and stuffs - like Cheliyi! And Aeldra!"

Utterly entranced, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted emits a long "Ooooh."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "I would love to come! It depends on how busy Mother is, though. If She's not occupied, I'm sure She would be okay with it!"

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "And married is..."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted tilts her head curiously.

Golden shades radiate from your chest and your heart beats faster with newly-appeared determination.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "'Married' when two people love each other very, very much and declare it to the entire world. It's deeper than just friends, and it's one of the ways that family begins."

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "It's how two people become bound in dedication to each other."

Tridemon ponders the situation.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Well, one of the ways, but this is the important one we're talking about right now."

Tridemon nods his head sagely.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted lets out a soft "oh" of appreciation, eyes wide with new understanding. "That sounds so nice!" she exclaims. "Everyone should get married!"

Tridemon stares blankly into space.

Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... I have no way of explaining to a small elephant why that's a bad idea.

You have emoted: Gurashi folds their hands politely together in their lap after setting down the cake in a spot where the water won't swallow it up. "It is O-K if it takes a long time to find somebody that like that wanna marry that muchly!" They blurt out. "I am almost one-hundred years old and never thoughts would get married, before now!" They smile.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Can still be happy with peoples without being married to thems. Is like..." They puff their cheeks. "Liiiike... a whole, extra steps! Bigger devotions."

You ponder the situation.

The Mantle of Starlight flows gently against your form, twinkling stars shifting across its surface as the starry infinity continues its eternal motion.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "It's a declaration unto the world itself, strong enough to imprint upon the Tapestry."

In an airy, melodic voice, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Words are hard, sometimes!" They apologize, looking towards the lucidian. "Yeah, yeah! That!"

You chirp happily.

Furrowing her brow as she attempts to understand, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted nods, saying, "Mother talks about Devotion a lot. It's, umm, caring a lot about one thing, or person... Sort of." At Tridemon's explanation, comprehension flashing across her features. "Oh, a declaration! That sounds very important. Like, a big promise?"

You nod your head emphatically.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "One of the BIGGEST."

Considering the weight of this, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "Maybe I could marry cake."

(CLAN): You say, "WHeEEZE."

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Maybe. But then you wouldn't be able to eat it."

"Awwwww!" Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says.

With an intense pout, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says, "That's a terrible promise."

You throw back your head as you let loose a delighted laugh.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "Uhm, marrying is almost like finding devotions in a Divine - but, finding it, instead, in another persons..." They pause, "No, not instead of - in additions, to. Yes..."

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Yep. That's why marriage is usually between people. So you don't get people marrying cake and being sad when other people also eat cake."

Nodding their head, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Someday, you may find somebody to bake you all the cakes your hearts could ever desire, yes!"

You chirp happily.

Once more adjusting her expectations, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted nods and says, "Hmmm. Okay. I think I understand. Marriage is finding someone who likes to do things with you, all the time, like make cake and things!" She wiggles her ears, proud of her assessment.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims to Tridemon, "You must make great cakes!"

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "No, no, I make paintings instead. And clothes. And jewelry. And furniture."

You have emoted: Gurashi lets out a high-pitched warble of delight, hands flying to their face to silence their laugh.

Your shoulders bunch as you let out a short giggle.

You think to yourself: *a m u s e m e n t*.

Tridemon looks around.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "I'd demonstrate, but this isn't a good place for cabinets."

Giggling wildly, you say to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "That is almost it! A big parts of it!"

You beam broadly at Tavi, the Pure-Hearted.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted says to you, "Well, I am sure you are happy, even if the cakes will taste more like cabinets."

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted whispers intently to you, "Cheliyi can help you." Her eyes shift from side to side.

In an airy, melodic voice, you exclaim to Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Anyway, yeah! When we have our wedding will let you know, O-K? And hopefully can see you there - know would make Cheliyi happy. And--" At the cabinet comment, they break into laughter again. "Ah! Y-yes!" They warble, "She can!"

Trumpeting happily, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted sends a spray of water over her head, the sparkling water dancing about her like a veil of mist.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to you, "Want to show her the painting I made you?"

"Okay!" Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, trumpeting a happy tune. "Painting?" she asks, tilting her head.

You have emoted: Gurashi is unable to respond immediately, trembling with laughter as they slowly sit up, face flushed and mouth twisted in a laugh. They wheeze and hiccup with giggles, pulling a painting of A New Forever out from the safest folds of their tunic and hold it up for Tavi, the Pure-Hearted to see.

You display a painting of A New Forever for all in the room to see.

You sniffle softly.

"Wow!" Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims!

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "So many colours!!"

You have emoted: Gurashi nods, wiping at the corner of their eye and flashing a toothy smile. "Tridemon is a goodly painter!" They point at the lucidian with the same finger that wiped away their tears. "Is why wanted to sketch you!"

You beam broadly.

Her trunk nosily reaching for the painting, Tavi, the Pure-Hearted exclaims, "Do you have one of me with a bunch of colours too?!"

You face lights up as you smile brightly at Tridemon.

You flap your wings excitedly at Tridemon, gusting the air about him.

You think to yourself: *curiosity - how could have made a painting of a persons that never met before?*.

Tridemon ponders Tavi, the Pure-Hearted thoughtfully, looking her up and down.
Tavi, the Pure-Hearted's tail swishes to and fro as she trumpets happily.

Ocean waves echoing softly behind his voice, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Give me about... five minutes."

Tridemon mixes the tinctures together and creates a palette of fine paints.

You have emoted: Gurashi sniffles and considers the painting, then Tavi, the Pure-Hearted. "I bet he could!" They warble happily. "But he had never seen you, before this visits! So... ah!"

You flail about helplessly.

Tridemon takes a polished cherrywood easel from the Godly Belt of Fabulous Space.

You hands fly to your mouth as you give a short gasp of elation.

Tridemon drops a polished cherrywood easel.

In an airy, melodic voice, you whisper, "He is going to do the -thing-."

Stepping before the easel and canvas, Tridemon begins to paint with brush and palette in hand, frowning in concentration.

In an airy, melodic voice, you ask Tavi, the Pure-Hearted, "Who did write it to? Was it fun? Did you make up a signatures for yourselfs?"

Tavi, the Pure-Hearted puffs up with delight at the easel.

Tridemon proudly shows off a painting of An Elephant Upon the Waters:
Painted with bright, vibrant colors, this painting is set upon a wide
expanse of glittering waters. At least fifty star lotuses, each of them
a different color or shade, float upon the waters around the main
subject of the painting, an adorably round white elephant with a crown
of flowers. The elephant has her eyes closed as she smiles as wide as
she can, frolicking upon the waters with ripples spreading out from her
feet. Her trunk is above her head as she sprays some of the water up
into the air, the sparkling waters becoming a prismatic rainbow that
fills the top half of the painting with color.

In an airy, melodic voice, you say, "...oh my gosh!"

Your eyes bug out as you boggle in amazement.

In an airy, melodic voice, you exclaim, "So many colors... Tridemon that is PRETTY!"
