will you marry me?

[small_magics]

When the party has been going on for a few hours but no one has left yet, everyone is called into the main room. (The dragons will have a sufficient view if they prefer to perch at the outer doors.)

Angela has worked out a ceremony that will satisfy the involved parties, a reworking of standard Samarian traditions with some revised wording and adjustments for the fact that the groom inhabits two bodies. This ceremony, unlike the elven one, doesn't involve any jewelry.

And then Sarion and her beloved are married. Again.

"This is conjured, and it's really good," says Lily, pouring him a taste anyway.

[pythbox]

Celo makes a rude gesture and freecasts away.

Kerron sniffs it, then drinks it. "Okay, I'll admit, that is tasty stuff."

[alicornucopia]

Cricket resumes weaving through the crowd, supremely unconcerned.

[telesonorous]

"Well, now I'm tempted," snorts Helen.

[inherpiety]

Keziah is looking for a water room. She was already thinking of looking for one when the wedding started, and now she kind of needs it.

[pina_colada]

"I don't think it'd do anything for you. The three of us are half-vampires."

[alicornucopia]

"Aurum ones," adds Lily. "One of the other kind of vampires tried it and torched on the spot."

[telesonorous]

"But no not-at-all-vampires have tried it yet, right?"

[alicornucopia]

"Not and reported back to me. Do you really want it?"

[pythbox]

Suddenly, naked Joker!

[inherpiety]

"Naked Joker!" she exclaims.

[pythbox]

"Nice to meet you too!" the naked Joker snaps.

[telesonorous]

"Sure, why not."

[inherpiety]

Keziah shrinks and hides behind one gray-banded wing.

[alicornucopia]

Lily pours her some too. Just enough that she'll be able to see if she likes it.

[pythbox]

"Sorry," he sighs. "I am in a shitty mood right now. I can go away if you want."

[inherpiety]

"You didn't have to yell at me!" She's a little muffled behind her feathers. "Dad never yells at me!"

[telesonorous]

Helen tries it.

"...Yep, blood," is her conclusion. "Sort of weird-tasting, not that I have a lot of experience tasting blood."

[pina_colada]

"Well, we don't really, either, except maybe Lily. Mostly it's bubbly if we're in that region of comestible at all. Very modern."

[alicornucopia]

"And even I've only tasted a handful of cooperative people, hardly the range old vampires have had."

[pythbox]

"I'm sorry," he says, as gently as he can manage. "Do you want me to get your dad, or - something?"

[inherpiety]

She shakes her head; this is visible in the bounce of her hair, though she's still behind her wing, whether because of residual alarm or because he's naked it's unclear. "But why'd you yell at me?"

[pumpkin_pie]

"I've had conjured human blood," volunteers Aedyt. "I think I like nymph better."

[telesonorous]

Helen giggles.
