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.

Okay. [ a beat. ] If I don't answer the phone when you call, you're not going to come barging in on my wedding night are you? [ her smile is a little teasing. remember when that happened, myri?? good times. ] That was the first time I told him I loved him, that night.

[witchwoman]

[It takes her a moment to realize Vi is joking, but that moment of shock and confusion fades to a soft, sheepish smile.]

I wasn't planning on calling you at all, actually. But if you'd prefer we make an appearance- for old times sake? [more jokes but at least she's able to manage a little humor still.]

I'm surprised it too you that long. You're not exactly shy to speak your mind.

[graveflowers]

[ she breathes out a breath of a laugh. ] I had a little mental block about it. He's basically perfect and I am one catastrophe after another. I didn't think there was a reason to say anything. Then Jade died and I just thought fuck it, I'm already sad, if he is like what the fuck no get out, there wouldn't be much of a change.

[witchwoman]

Well, it seems to have worked out much better than that. You two are wonderful together. I'm so happy that you've found someone that can make you smile like he does, Vi.

[graveflowers]

He bought me flowers for Valentine's Day. Which was really cute. 'cause when he gave me my birthday present I told him he could have picked me a daisy and I would have been happy. So he picked me like... a hundred. [ it's the little things. she glances over her shoulder at the party, sighing softly, but not unhappily. ] I told him the day we met I was going to marry him.

[witchwoman]

Well, at least you were true to your word. I don't think I even remember what I told Finnick the first time we talked. I think I might have caught him practicing his songs for his cover. Not nearly as romantic.

[graveflowers]

I don't know if my inability to keep my mouth shut really counts as romance. Actually I'm pretty sure Luthir carried the romance in this... romance. [ 'cause vi is just a walking, talking hot mess. ]

[witchwoman]

I think you both show it in your own way. That's why it works.

[graveflowers]

[ just the way you are -- billy joel ]

Just like you and Finnick. [ vi is the number one finnyri shipper and no one can take her crown. ride or die for team finnyri. she will cut any bitch who tries to tear her bbs apart. except... her bbs when they're doing it to themselves, but shhh. ] But the reality is that they're probably suffering some monumental brain damage and we just struck while the getting was good. So go us.

[witchwoman]

[V's humor is still a bit beyond Myri, but they have been around each other enough for Myri to know that she's joking.]

Maybe so. We're both lucky.

[graveflowers]

We are. [ and she'll just rest her head on myri's shoulder. ]

[witchwoman]

[She smooths Vi's hair back before resting her cheek against the top of Vi's head. Reaching over, she takes the girls hand for good measure.]
