WHO || Erryone
WHAT || the wedding of Finnick Odair and Myrilandel de Tanos
WHERE || Andres Beach & Palace
WHEN || oct 23rd
HOW || actionapsm

Between the various members of the wedding party, everything comes together just in time for the big event. Within a few weeks' time, the day has finally arrived. Whether they've met or spoken to the bride and groom, the entire isle of Andres is invited to this event. Cool colors are prominent throughout the ceremony set up on the Andres coast. From the bridesmaids dresses to the flower arrangements to the beautiful blue sky and sea, it's a very calming atmosphere.

Once the ceremony is finished, everyone is invited to the reception, held at the Andres palace. There's food, drink, and music. Tables are available, but with such an open guest list, there's no assigned seating- other than the main table up front where the wedding party and their guests will sit last supper style.

[ Rose waits for a moment to catch Myri during one of the rare times when she's not surrounded by people, hanging back until the conversation ends before moving into her line of sight.

A genuine smile touches her features, a warmth in her eyes as she closes the distance and without thought, a hand snakes out to capture Myri's as she takes in her dress up close. ]

You know I never really got the whole, people gushing at weddings things but you look... [ Her smile widens, voice softening as she gives her hand a gentle squeeze. ] Perfect.

[witchwoman]

[As Rose takes her hand, Myri turns towards the woman gladly. The compliment causes her to blush, smile bright and wide.]

Oh, I don't know about that... But thank you. I'm so glad you're here. And I see you didn't come alone..

[shippin it tbh]

[littledhampir]

Wouldn't have missed it for anything. Happiness looks good on you. [Rose nothing but sincere. She might have had reasons for being a little uncomfortable here but Myri's day trumped any of her own crap.]

Ahhh - [Turning to catch sight of Dean through the crowd.] Yeah... [Bless. She failed that Will Save to practically beam back at Myri.] I mean I think he only came to see me in a dress again but - [Joking. Probably. Maybe.] - I'll never pass up a chance to get him out of flannel so it makes us even.

[witchwoman]

[It's so good to see Rose happy after everything. She doesn't know Dean very well, but that hardly matters to her. She may have to find some time to say hello to him later, though.]

I for one am glad to have both of you here- regardless of what you're wearing. It's just good to see people smiling again.

[littledhampir]

[She should so her mun can stalk it I mean...]

Yeah well, it's good to have a reason to as well. [And while Dean is very much a part of that for her, she does also mean today.] It was a nice thing you guys did, letting half of Andres come to your wedding. Did that make it more or less scary? [Somebody explain to Rose that not everyone is scared of getting married.]

[witchwoman]

Scary? [She's genuinely confused.] I had some hesitations before... [Namely after Luthir died, because Myri had this terrible fear of that happening to Finnick] But this felt right. All of it- including the open invitation.

[littledhampir]

Um, ya know the whole... getting married... Being married thing? [She'd never even considered a life where she even could be married pre coming here.] Like if it were me? I'm pretty sure I'd be trying not to throw up five minutes before walking down the aisle. You? I don't know you just look really happy.

[witchwoman]

That's because I am really happy. I've wanted this for... Well, my whole life I think. The Stargods back home lead me here, lead me to the Knights, lead me to Finnick. I've always wanted a home and with him? I am home.

[littledhampir]

I guess - [Rose's eyes flit back to where Dean is for just a second, something close to understanding flashing in her eyes as a small smile makes her lips twitch.] - I never really thought about it like that.

[witchwoman]

[Myri's smile is smaller at that comment, sympathetic in a way. How long had it taken her to get used to having something more stable here? And she still felt like it was something that could be taken away when Fred was in peril. Changing the way you think about people, the way you understand the sort of things you can have now, in this place... It wasn't always easy.]

Sometimes it can be scary and wonderful all at once. But you get used to it, in a way. And you come to love it- or I have, at least.

[littledhampir]

I think I'm still getting used to it. [She admits, a wry, half smile in reply.

As somebody who believes more in what she could do for herself than something like fate, it's harder for Rose to see the reason for all this, for being brought here, for everything that's happened over the last couple of years and she can't help but envy Myri, for being so sure of it all.]

How did you know? That Finnick was the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life?

[witchwoman]

[Her gaze drops for a moment, because it's a reminder that not all of their story is such a fairy tale.]

Before I was taken-- [As in kidnapped to be tortured] Finnick and I had a terrible fight. We decided that it would be best to be apart, easier for the both of us to handle the things we were going through from the mission. But while I was trapped in Sarandis' prison, I thought of him every day, dreamed of coming home to him. And then I did, and we just...knew. Things aren't perfect. [He still drinks too much and she still worries about everything under the sun.] But the only way I can describe it, is that it feels...right. Being with him is where I'm meant to be, just as much as I know I'm meant to be a Knight.

[littledhampir]

[Rose remains silent as she takes in Myri's words, expression both serious yet thoughtful at the same time as she tries to relate it back to herself, to her own experiences to help her wrap her head around it.]

Kind of like, there's a thousand reasons why not being together might make your life easier, but it wouldn't make it better?

[witchwoman]

Something like that. [She gives a small smile and nods.] I can't imagine not having him in my life now. I don't want to ever know what that's like.

[littledhampir]

[A smile touches her lips and though there's not a light-bulb above her head, it does seem that Rose might actually get it.]

I'm just - I'm really happy that everything is working out for you. [Squeezing Myri's hand.] You deserve it.

[witchwoman]

We all do. [She corrects gently.] I want tonight to be about celebrating as much happiness as possible- not just mine.

[littledhampir]

Well I - [Looking around at all the people who have come together, yes, even those who might not be comfortable doing so.] Think you've managed to pull that off and then some.

[witchwoman]

That's all I could ever ask for. [She beams at Rose, then nudges her.] Go on. Go dance with him. I've got a husband to find.

[littledhampir]

[Oh Myri. It's cute how you say that like Dean and Rose are the kind of people who dance, or at least, the kind of people who would think to ask the other to dance.]

I will - [It's just a white lie.] And you have a great night. [Giving Myri's hand one last squeeze before she allows her to get back to her celebrations.]
