Kalysto removed his silken purple gloves for Desiree, offering his left hand for her to place the ring on. If Desiree were to catch a glimpse of the inside of the rings, she would notice a runed inscription on the insides of both rings which had a faint magic golden glow, quite similar to that of sunlight.
When Kalysto had placed Desiree’s ring on, he picked up the small elemental leaded vial he had gone through so much hassle to get ahold of. He uncorked the lid and held it out for Desiree to take.
*”This is for us to make our mark on each other. This will be completely permanent – it will never come off under any circumstances. As for what you want to mark, personally… place on whatever comes to mind. A rune, anything.”*
Desiree glanced down at the the vial as Kalysto gave it to her. She then frowned in thought before she opened up the vial and dipped her finger into it. After a moment, she pulled up Kalysto’s sleeve and made a very crude symbols that resembled a wyvern dragon, since that was the only thing that she could come up with off the top of her head. Also, since Desiree wasn’t an artist, the marking were akin to a five year old’s artwork.
When Desiree was done, he took the bottle from her and dipped his finger in. He began to scrawl a few small runes across her neck, marking another one around the curve of her right shoulder. Within moments the ‘ink’ had faded again. He dipped his finger into the bottle a second time and licked his finger, curious to see how it tasted.
When the new couple were announced man and wife, Kalysto lifted back Desiree’s veil and delicately kissed her on the lips.
Desiree grinned as she heard the announcement. She then wrapper her arms about Kalysto’s neck as he kissed her. However, she soon spoke into his mind, ~What sort of kiss is that, my demon lord? I thought you were much more of an animal than that.~
*”Do you know how many people are watching us? Let’s not get indecent here, love. There will be all the time in the world for that yet….”* He slipped his hand down and gave her a very subtle pinch on the rear as if to demonstrate.
He took his new wife’s hands in his and began to walk her out of the beach-house entirely. “They will want us to pose for photographs I suppose…”
Desiree released a faint chuckle at Kalysto’s response, which was followed by a momentary yelp as he pinched her. A smirk formed on her lips as she examined her new husband. Soon enough, sh took his hand in turn so that they could stroll down the aisle. However, as she spotted Rhyderi, she slowed down to scowl at him.
~You were late,~ the hybrid proclaimed. However, she didn’t stop moving.
Instead, she turned her attention back to her husband as she heard him speak. “I doubt that,” Desiree responded. “Mother and father have never cared much for pictures. About the only people who would want pictures here are the media… Unless you wanted some.”
*”I got here, didn’t I?”* Rhyderi lowered his head, pulling at the pants of his white suit. *”Besides… you would have been even more pissed if I didn’t show up at all. Kalysto had me enchant your rings…”*
Kalysto stood out the front with Desiree hooked in his arm as he stood there for photographs. “One day your children will want something like these. Any keepsake from your life will become important to them when you are no longer around.” He moved onto her other side to pose for another photo. “Or missing. Nether forbid.”
“Shall we make our way to the reception now?”
~You still were late, Rhyderi. You don’t want to know the expression that Kalysto had on his face when he realized you weren’t there,~ Desiree curtly responded.
She stood there and tolerated the pictures that Kalysto convinced her to take. However, given that both of her parents are not photogenic, she never had grown a fondness for cameras. So, she did little more than tolerate having her picture taken.
As Kalysto asked if they should go to the reception, Desiree quickly nodded.
“Yes, let’s go. It’s only a few buildings away. Not far at all.”
Kalysto nodded his head and headed down the pathway, making his way to the reception building, a restaurant that overlooked a different stretch of the same beach where the beach-house was. Once at the door, he was allowed in immediately, and was led to the restaurant’s special function-room where the reception tables and chairs were all ready and waiting.
“I hope you like cake.” He grinned at Desiree.
Desiree grinned as she looked around the restaurant, for she had given Kalysto full control over this part of the wedding. She wasn’t even certain what the place looked like. However, she found it all very appealing. Soon enough, her eyes drifted to the cake before she chuckled.
“Think you made it large enough?”
Meanwhile, Jenna escorted Sephiroth and their children to the restaurant as well. She showed no signs of being uncomfortable wearing a dress, since she generally tried to hide such things anyway. As they entered the room, Jenna’s eyes drifted to the dance hall before she glanced up at Sephiroth.
“You do realize that you’re going to have to dance at least once tonight, right?” Jenna reminded her mate.
Sephiroth made a sound of utter disdain as he was led into the reception hall. He took his seat at the table where his name was carded, and then he began to take out his napkin, shaking it a few times before he lay it across his lap.
“I know how to dance,” He reassured her. “You tortured me into it when we got married.”
Kalysto took Desiree’s hand, grinning as he noticed that she was pleased with the cake. “There’s enough of us here to eat it… and we’ll be eating it for a couple of days. The children are going to need to survive off something when we’re not home.”
Desiree chuckled before she leaned in to Kalysto so that she could whisper into his ear, “You’ve never seen my father eat sweets, have you?”
As she moved away from her new husband, she gave him a brief kiss before she sat down at her designated seat.
Meanwhile, Jenna rolled her eyes at Sephiroth. Of course, she had always known that the man was stubborn, so she doubted he’d ever call the lessons anything other than torture. Still, she thought he could have been a bit more grateful for the time that she had spent teaching him the skill.
“Yes, I know I taught you the basics as to how to dance. However, I also know that you avoid the activity,” the sorceress pointed out. “You won’t be able to avoid it today though.”
Kalysto sat down next to Desiree at the head of the table. He accepted her kiss, and then he reached down to grasp her hand, giving her a kiss of his own to the back of her palm with gentleness and grace.
“You look ravishing, my dear. Simply ravishing.” He stated quietly. “They’re going to bring the food out soon. Have you decided what you’d like?” He picked up the menu and gave it to her. “Their speciality is steak. They also do a nice steamed lobster with butter. And…”
The elf stopped dead in his tracks and looked down. Milena had gotten rather upset and lonely and decided to cling to her father’s leg, hugging onto him.
Desiree glanced over the menu and pondered for a few moments. She knew there wasn’t a large selection since they had to choose the options before they booked the reception hall. Still, there was enough of a selection for her to ponder over. After a bit, she tilted her head before she looked over at Kalysto.
“Did you somehow talk them into making one of your native dishes?” Desiree queried.
Soon after, she glanced down at Milena before she chuckled. “Milena, go ahead and take your seat. You can sit next to your father or me.”
Kalysto raised his brows lightly, looking at the menu. “No? There are no Silvermoon specialities here. Not unless you count the bread. And even then, it’s not authentic.” He picked up Milena, sighing at her. “She’s right you know. Go sit next to either her or me. But you’re not going to be far away,” He lightly tapped her beak, “Because you’re going to be sitting next to us. OK?”
Milena made a very lonely sad noise and reached out towards Desiree. “Want that side…”
Desiree glanced back at the menu before muttering, “Strange… Then I have no idea what this one item is..”
She shrugged to herself before she reached out to take Milena. She briefly hugged the girl before setting the hybrid down in the seat next to her. Soon after, she gave Milena a menu.
“Go ahead and pick what you want to eat, dear.”
“Huh?” Kalysto grabbed the menu again and read it. “Oh yeah… ‘Thoribas-aman’do’… it’s basically a huge spiced carrot vegetable thing with meat inside.” He nodded. “Yeah, that is a native dish. Sorry.” He grinned once Milena settled and raised his glass to get some wine when the waitress was going around pouring some for people.
“Want some?”
Milena took her seat, clutching the menu in her paws. She was a little more content, but not much. She already knew that in a few hours, Desiree and Kalysto were going to be gone on their honeymoon. On holiday. Away from the house. Away from her. After being left at the other house this morning, she already knew what was coming next, and she was miserable about it.
Desiree hummed in thought before she held out her glass as well for a bit of wine. As long as it was drank in moderation, she didn’t mind having a bit at all. She then asked the waiter to give her the steak entree.
After she ordered and received her wine, she glanced over at Milena before she gave the girl a small grin.
“What do you want to eat?”
Milena gave Desiree an unhappy look – she decided right there and then that she wasn’t going to be sated by food. She put the menu down and slid out of her chair, hugging onto Desiree’s leg. “Don’t go…” She said finally.
Kalysto sipped the wine, swirling it in his glass as he pondered whether or not he liked it. He shrugged and took another sip. Wine was wine, and as long as it wasn’t bitter, he was fine with it.
Desiree released a sad sigh as Milena clinged onto her. After shaking her head, she patted the girl’s head before she hummed at her.
“Shhh… We won’t be gone long. Even then, you’ll be with family. You’ll be fine. Be tough, Milena. You can do it,” Desiree attempted to appease the girl. “Now come on, today ‘s a day for celebration. No more sad face, hm?”
Milena nodded her head and climbed back into her chair. She looked over the menu again for another few moments, though the outstanding issue still clearly bothered her. She lowered her head and scrunched up her face, before she began to softly cry.
Kalysto sighed. “Attachment issues much?” He shook his head. “Milena, cheer up, huh? We’re not going to be gone long, your mother is right.” He finished off his wine. “This stuff is good. Can I get some more?”
Desiree slowly shook her head before she looked over at Kalysto. “I think we should just leave her be. Let her get it out of her system. There’s little that we can do otherwise.”
Meanwhile, Jenna looked over the menu before sighing. She figured that she should order something just to be polite and not look too out of place. So, she picked out the seafood dish since it seemed to have the least number of seasonings. Soon after, she turned her attention to Sephiroth.
“Why didn’t you just buy a suit or wear one of your dress uniforms?”
Sephiroth grunted. “I don’t know. I was just assigned this one because of it’s matching properties.” He shrugged. “I didn’t know that they weren’t going to fit it to my measurements…” a quiet sigh escaped him and he waited for his food to arrive. He flicked a fork idly on the table, noting that his children seemed to be having more fun annoying each other right now.
Kalysto nodded his head. “Yeah, I guess. It’s just dissapointing to see her like this. She’s been on her own before.”
Jenna reached over to affectionately scratch the back of Sephiroth’s head in an attempt to help him feel calm and comfortable. Thus, she continued this activity for several minutes, at least until the meal came. She then tilted her head and poked the lobster that had been provided to her.
Sephiroth glanced at Jenna’s lobster, then down at his own. “What’s wrong?” He wondered. “Is it bad? It just looks like it has been steamed and gutted to me.” He picked up the small fork intended for removing meat from the shell, then poked at the legs, ripping them off to begin eating.
“It tastes fine.”
