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.

The moment the ceremony ends, a fantastic variety of flowers in every imaginable shape and colour begin to sprout from the walls.

Aianon grins.

[small_magics]

And his wife kisses him.

[bellfounding]

And Pattern, in the audience, leans on Ripper and laughs helplessly.

[tearingup]

Ripper is giggling kind of helplessly himself.

[endragoned]

Aianon kisses Sarion. And maybe smirks. And perhaps lets her know about a certain other space plant in which flowers once bloomed. This one does not share particular relevant features; all of these flowers are keeping their petals.

[small_magics]

So no one will have uncomfortable levels of detail if they happen to abscond right at this moment, then.

[endragoned]

Indeed not! What a wonderful idea.

[small_magics]

She kisses him again. And teleports them away.

[pina_colada]

Kerron applauds with everybody else. That was cute.

[telesonorous]

It really was!

"Suddenly flowers," giggles someone standing behind him and also applauding.

[pina_colada]

Kerron glances around and reads her nametag. "Yep! I think festive plants are kind of Aianon's thing. Are you my cousinoid? I believe you are."

[telesonorous]

She peers at him. "Probably! If you're the Joker's son then definitely!"

[pina_colada]

"That's me. And your dad would be Kas, presumably. I don't think I'd heard that he had kids."

[telesonorous]

"He has a kid," says Helen. "It's... a thing."

[pina_colada]

"A thing," says Kerron, scanning colorshapes. "What kinda thing?"

[telesonorous]

A thing she wants to talk about, apparently!

"Amariah was gone for something like sixty years while Jane was down. Kas really didn't take it well. He decided to have a kid, and he wished himself pregnant without really specifying, and I turned out to be me, and when she got back and I was me and thirteen Amariah really didn't like it."

[pina_colada]

"Ow."

[telesonorous]

"Yeah."

[pina_colada]

"I don't really know Her Majesty that well, let alone any of her alts - was the not-liking-it a huge thing..."

[telesonorous]

"Moderately huge? We're on speaking terms, and she didn't dump Kas or anything. But it's still pretty awkward."

[pina_colada]

"That really sucks."

[telesonorous]

"Yep," says Helen. It's possible that she would kind of like a hug.

[pina_colada]

So Kerron hugs her.

[telesonorous]

...Surprised and pleased, Helen hugs back.

"Thanks."

[pina_colada]

"You're welcome. I can do hugs, I learned from the best."
