♬ from this moment on- shania twain ft. bryan white

WHO || Vi, Luthir, Wynn, Jack, Myri, Finnick, Francesca, Val'drin, Spike, Dumage, Felicity, Gus, Astrid, Fred Jr., Kat, Gar, Buffy, Rafael, Elena, Alaric, Rose, Dimitri, Aedan, Dovan, Lan, Zero, Koraith, Mark, Dawn, Archer, Des, Zarad, Alex, Faith, Faye, Sean, Anastacia [closed]
WHAT || Vi and Luthir's wedding
WHERE || Chelsea Physic Garden, London
WHEN || June 6th, evening
HOW || Actionspam

Now officially Knighted, Vi exchanges her ceremonial armor for a wedding gown, and the guests head into London to gather at the Chelsea Physic Garden.  The evening is warm and clear, and the flowers in full bloom, chairs set up on the main lawn with name tags on them for people to find their seat.  Gentle Elvish music plays everyone in, and at the front of stands an arbor covered in wisteria.  It's a remarkably peaceful setting, enough to dispel further some of the grimness of the past few days and create an atmosphere of smiles and warmth.    It seems to reinforce what Luthir has been telling Vi all along: that maybe now more than ever, this is the sort of thing they need, in order to remember what they're all fighting for.

Well, I know which one of those activities I generally prefer. [ it's... probably not getting slapped. maybe. #wejustdontknow

his eyes glance over towards faye and alex, and then towards the table as if he can see right through it and knows exactly what's going on under there, you crazy kids. his lip quirks up further as if the thought entertains him greatly, but then he focuses back on vi. ] But I think the groom should probably have the honor tonight. [ and he'll toss a wink at des just to assure him that this is all just friendly, flirty banter, bb. he is probably not going to kiss all your friends. ]

[graveflowers]

No, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind. [ OR WOULD HE. idk. but she looks very interested in zarad now. very interested and not in the let's bang way. there's something strange about him to her, like a flutter of familiarity. but it's not him? he's not familiar to her, it's just something about him??? it's all very strange. ] Come with me, ridiculously attractive man -- not you, Alex, not this time, you enjoy. But you, Zarad, we're gonna have a chat. If I get no kisses behind a rose bush, you'll have to use your tongue for talking, so up, up, up, let's go, talkies. Come on. Vamanos. Vite vite! Andiamo! Allons-y!

[des looks from vi to zarad with a perplexed look and then waves them off, a bit sheepish..]

I promised she'd get a dance.

[fornicator]

[ des gets another grin from zarad, who adjusts his tie as he gets to his feet, so that vi can see how... impossibly fucking tall he is. ] Duty calls. [ his fingers brush the back of des' hair as he removes his arm from behind him, and then he turns to the bride. ] After you.

[reallywicked]

[That look from Zarad a second ago? Actually makes Faye's cheeks flush, but she doesn't stop what she's doing. Actually it just sort of spurs her on. Him knowing and reacting like that? Well it's not a bad thing in her book. He's barely away from the table before Faye leans forward to fix her gaze on Des.]

How the fuck did you land a guy like that?

[nothingsodivine]

Dunno. [he watches the two of them walk off.] He followed me around like a puppy and one day, it occurred to me I liked it.

[shruuug]

[moonheart]

He's kinda super dreamy. What's not to like about that following you around?

[nothingsodivine]

Sometimes you just don't notice what you've got. [He knocks back his drink and stands up.] If he comes back, tell him I went to...

[He trails off as he searches the other tables for Buffy. Once he zeroes in on her, he waves a hand dismissively.] Hell, he'll figure it out.

[ONE BY ONE THIS TABLE VANISHES....]

[druidisms]

[ gus is here to steal another... ]

Hey Faye. Nǐ hǎo. [ gus stops behind their chairs, putting a hand on faye's back fondly and one against the back of alex's neck. ] Anastacia, Faith, Sean. [ gosh, he knows everyone. ] You wouldn't mind if I stole your date for a minute, would you, Dorothy?

[reallywicked]

[Glancing up, Faye looks...confused.]

Uh- sure..? [Guess she should pull her hand off his crotch then. Lame.]

[druidisms]

Thanks, kiddo. Promise I'll bring him back in one piece. [ well in that case. ] Alex, care to dance?

[ambitionist]

Love to. [he kisses Faye on the cheek before he gets up to join Gus. Gonna miss than hand on his thigh tbh.] Don't worry, tiger, I'll be back.

[reallywicked]

[Faye watches them go and just...deflates. She's watching them. And drinking. And pouting.]

[imgonnadie]

[ blah blah more small talk later, sean glances over at faye, who seems to be staring intently at the dance floor, but fuck if he knows why. ] Hey Faye, what's up?

[reallywicked]

[Theyre kissing. Faye has stopped texting Lila by now and is just glaring at the two of them. Sean drags her attention back and she realizes when she tries to answer that there's a lump in her throat.]

Fuck this. [She forces out with a growl, shoving her chair back and storming off.]
