"Pom, I only wish that I saw that when I looked into the mirror," Gerro said, verrrry seriously. "It's very well made."
Keyne hugged Suzume, because she loved her friend and wanted her to know it. It was of course, just in a friendly way, but Suzume was one of the only close friends she had, besides Kerret. And Kerret was always so busy. "Are you two going to start a family?" she asked, curious. Despite being older, she was still very much naive. For all she knew, babies were just created in a woman's stomach.
Finally, Lorien couldn't stand it anymore. On impulse, he strode down the slope towards Cecil, pausing only to nod quickly to Zanthus in farewell. Deep sapphire eyes were set in earnest determination, and vibrant blond hair swayed against its tie as he walked.
Upon reaching them, the paladin clasped his hands together and kneeled, his head bowed in respect and his voice brimming with emotion.
"Cecil, it is my great pleasure to meet you and your wife, and I wish you the happiest of all marriages. May the Keeper favor you and fate cradle your dreams," he said resolutely. And then, in his head, 'I am sorry'.
"If I tried to kill one of them I would have to stand in line," Rell admitted with a sigh. It was cliche anyway. He could do better.

Cecil felt; as Lorien walked down the way to him and the rest of the group, something like an electric jolt filled his insides.
"...My Grandfather killed them...." "I had a younger brother, but he died with the others in my family....." "I'm sorry, Darishan...." Silence.
Darishan's little brother was dead! Why did he feel like this was something his friend had not found out after the death of his family? That, perhaps in some miracoulous way, the boy before him had somehow been that brother Darishan said had died. But....no. It's been years, and Darishan said his brother was surely dead! Then....why does his gut say otherwise?
"Thank you very much." he answered Lorien with a faint smile.

Suzume's face flushed slightly, "Um... start a family?" She looked really unsure and nervous, "W-well... I don't know, I guess if Cecil wants to then... then I guess maybe." she stammered, she glanced towards Cecil, wondering if Cecil wanted to start a family but she wasn't going to ask any questions about it. She looked at the ground as her face continued to change color till it was a vibrant pink. "I don't really have anything against it, I'm just n-not sure if I would... ummm..." she didn't really know what to say to a question like Keyne's and her mind kind of went into a minor shut down.
Pom wrapped her arms around Gerro in a hug and she gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "Thank you, Gerro! I thought that I wouldn't be with all my new family if it wasn't for you and everything's really wonderful- I even have Darb now, and he's a sprite too!" She had an excited smile on her face, she whisked around, releasing her hug and grabbing Darb's hand. "He's my best friend!" She announced happily, her eyes glittering, she wanted to tell Gerro everything that happened during her time away but she obviously had no clue where to start.
Darb blushed a small bit when his hand was grabbed and he seemed rather nervous whenever it came to being close to Pom at all, but there was a curious wince that was barely noticeable when Pom announced the whole 'best friend' thing, obviously Darb wasn't too fond of being called Pom's 'best friend.' Of course he was worried about another thing, if Gerro wasn't Pom's best friend... and Pom had talked as much about Gerro as she had been lately then what did that mean the relationship between Gerro and Pom really was! Of course Darb hadn't thought of the possibility that Pom and Gerro were just close friends and not well... something else- he was far too insecure to think something like that.

Cecil had not caught that question entirely, but from the corner of his eye, he had caught Suzume's head move. He looked in an embarrassed but 'I don't know' way to his wife, "Keyne- that's not exactly the best question to ask so suddenly....." he told her.
mind block- sorry))

"I apologize, this must seem very awkward. We hardly know each other. But I have heard tales of you at school, Cecil, and you as well, Suzume, and it is a great honor to have finally met," Lorien explained amiably. "The strength of your love is as staggering as the struggles you have bested for it." The type of speech Lorien used might come across as over-extravagant, even arrogant, to others, but it was simply the way he was raised. He was never taught anything different.
"My heart soars hearing that," said Gerro, who was taught differently and chose to heartily ignore that teaching. If he were Irish, it would be suggested that he had visited the Blarney Stone, more than once. "I worried that you would meet more pain, but this..." He took a breath, looking at her lovingly. "I'm glad that you found this happiness.
"Darb," he added, looking at his fellow sprite. "Thank you for taking care of her. I know it isn't always easy." Gerro flashed Pom a smile to let her know that it wasn't an insult.
"I wasn't rushing you. It's fair that you have some 'you' time first, before babies," Keyne said in agreement. She had picked up from Franco that 'you' time was very important. As far as she could see, every moment Franco wasn't teaching was 'you' time, or 'him' time?
"Actually, it might just be crueler to give them something nice, at this rate..." Rell mused aloud, his tone lightly tinted with an unserious tone. "I do like to be cruel when it's convenient..."

Suzume nodded, "I intend to have a bit of 'me time,' I guess..." She was unsure what to say really because it was kind of an odd subject for her, she moved her gaze over to Lorien who's grand tone and dialogue seemed more fitting in some kind of royal grand hall instead of a school. "Thank you... but um..." she didn't know really what to say to Lorien either- she was rather tongue tied today with the goings on and Li-Wa blamed all of you for making it hard for her to figure out what Suzume would do in the situation, it's very odd.
Pom pulled Darb in for his own personal hug, "He was very nice to me, everyone else was too- the first troupe I ran into was really nice and the guy in charge said I had to audition... but I guess I wasn't what they were looking for, but when I met Darb and everybody they said I could come along with them! I didn't have to audition and Darb has been so nice to me." she nodded, "Darb let me have his sleeping mat since there weren't any extras. He's very considerate." Pom nodded in a confident motion, "I never thanked you Darb! Thank you so much! You can have your mat back if you don't want to sleep on the ground anymore." she had a considerate and relaxed expression on her face which greatly contrasted how Darb looked right now.
He looked like he was standing next to a lion, dreadfully nervous, his face lightly blushed and a nervous sweat breaking over his brow and he made his best effort to smile, looking at Pom as if she might just turn and bite his head off. "N-no... it's fi-ne" his voice cracked in the middle of the word 'fine.' He stood there, rigid and unyeilding during the hug, "I g-gave it to you, it's yours." he heaved in a stricken breath, having forgotten to breath since the hug had commenced which wasn't necessarily healthy considering how his heart was racing. It was obvious to anyone that saw him that he was terribly lovesick.
Pom leaned over and whispered to Gerro as if trying to avoid Darb from hearing her but it was obvious that due to his close proximity thanks to the hug, he was able to hear what she was saying, "Darb's not very good with words... he has a little stutter sometimes, he's really nice though and I think he just needs more attention." from her manner she obviously believed she knew what she was talking about but from the situation it was obvious that Pom was completely and utterly oblivious.
"Whatchya talkin' about?" Came a voice that was sure to grind Rell's eardrums because Donna was sure that her presence was not a welcome one but the fact of the matter was that Gerro ceased to amuse at the current point in time and Rell was always good for some fun times. She smiled broadly, poking the side of Rell's face, "And why would it be cruel to give a nice gift? Other than the only thing I can think of is that it'd make everyone who didn't bring anything feel really crappy... you know, considering that you- possibly the world's least caring person, if you don't mind me saying- outdid them when it comes to presents and giving gifts is normally considered to be something to take a lot of thought and caring... I'd feel like shit if you of all people outdid me!" She spoke confidently, her odd, straight line smile still present on her face.

Cecil nodded. "Just a bit different, but it's fine. Thank you again." The sky was still warm and beautiful, the air blowing only hot winds compared to the snowy scenes of the other areas in the school now that winter was here.
((I cant do much more...sorry....sudden brain fart))

The sprite examined Darb very closely, and then shrugged in a carefree manner. "Some things are hard to say," he said, at ease, "but Darb here obviously has spoken in other ways." He embraced them all in a group hug, tight and lovely. "I love her like a sister," he told the other sprite, apparently just offhand, but Gerro knew the game of love inside and out (bow chica wow wow).
Then he promptly sat down and laid on the cool grass, wondering if his head was going to explode now, or if maybe he could cut a hole in it and get some pressure release. "You two have fun. I'm going to get in touch with Nature and her children." Yeah, he hadn't done that ritual since he had left home at barely twenty, hadn't even went through puberty yet. Really he just wanted to suffer in peace. "As in, sleeping."
"That scrapes the edge of a possibility, but that was not the intention. I wouldn't expect a mortal to understand," the demon replied, "and I see no advantage in explaining it." Being a true demon, fully of darkness and no taint, he often left sentences open in such a manner, in case the offer of a deal was brought up. Demons adored deals, usually because they were very skilled bargainers. "If it has no other interest, however, it should probably leave," he suggested, not really pushing, just an airy suggestion. Rell was in a mellow mood today. All his plans were going fairly well, and if things worked out today, he would have another set into motion.
"Hello there, Mrs. Shan. The clover is beautiful today, isn't it?" Graham asked, somewhere down near her feet. The rabbit would have come sooner, but a cat had been prowling around. Despite his intelligence, instinct often won over in those areas... such as freezing in fear and hoping not to be noticed. But that was done.
"I hope to see you both again," Lorien said before leaving. It was fine and well that he had come to honor them and see their ceremony, but in the end there was the fact he was not invited, and he didn't really know them anyway.

"It's kind of funny..." Donna mused aloud, "That you were invited to a wedding and holyboy over there wasn't... because I'd much sooner invite Lorien to a wedding instead of you, Rell." She shrugged, "But that might just be me." She kissed her fingertips and then pressed them on the side of Rell's face, something that she doubted Rell would appreciate, "So how's the Ookina Ai De Motenashite going?" she asked, her voice all seriousness.
Pom looked dissapointed, "You didn't even get to meet everyone else yet..." she said, though she seemed to admit defeat when she nodded, "You sleep I guess and then you can meet them later." she smiled, "Come on, Darb!" she said, "And sweet dreams, Gerro!" Pom dragged Darb away, "Darb! I have so much I need to show you! You have a lot to see!" she spoke grandly, looking towards Darb happily as she lead him off so that he could see Twilight Moon Academy for himself.
Suzume looked toward Graham with a look of confusion, 'Mrs. Shan...?' it was something she wasn't called before and she didn't put it all together fast enough for her to look like any kind of normal person. Going by Suzume for over 300 years and suddenly being called something else was really disorienting. "Oh! I... yes it is." she agreed, though she wasn't really familiar with the state of clover recently, she never really payed attention.

"I wasn't invited," Rell corrected her faintly, very deep in thought now. When he concentrated, other things faded out of his interest. At her finger kiss, he just as absently as before put his hand on her hair and gave it a small pet, murmuring 'good girl' while glaring thoughtfully at the empty chair in front of him. At the mention of Entertain Me with a Big Love, his eyes flicked back to her in sudden interest. "It matters not how evil, you would be surprised what lengths humans will go to avoid killing a little girl," he said with a darkly amused smile. Then he went back to his thoughts, dismissing her.
Gerro smiled through the headache, glad that he had made her so happy. He really was smooth. A tickle in his throat grew so strong that he coughed a few times, his glee sinking a bit. A friend once told him it was either nausea or coughing-sneezing, and that they didn't go together. They obviously were not familiar with punishment illnesses of a forced power.
Graham seemed embarrassed. "Sorry, that was a foolish thing to say, but I don't know about the state of whatever you eat. I'm ah... a ...friend?... of Rell's. Graham." He didn't seem as mentally harrassed as Hase, but it was hard for anyone to tell people they were friends with demons like Rell.
