wedding ♔ so let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

[luthir]

♬ 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.

That's always nice to hear. [ she slides her hand back around his neck so he can't pull away ] But I do believe you're attempting to distract me from what I'd really like to hear.

[valdrin]

Perhaps I'm just enjoying drawing it out.

[socialgraces]

[ she smirks knowingly, kissing him again for good measure ] You most certainly have my undivided attention.

[valdrin]

I'm not certain how I managed to attract it in the first place, but I certainly don't intend to lose it.

[socialgraces]

[ look at that nat 20 will save, because now is not the time for fatalistic brooding. instead, she immerses herself in the moment, her eyes tracing his features with equal parts desire and tenderness. ] I believe it was the combination of your engaging wit, dashing good looks, and a great deal of determination.

[valdrin]

I can be painfully tenacious, when it counts.

[socialgraces]

I'm not sure how I managed to be worth all that trouble, in the first place.

[valdrin]

Maybe it's the eyes.

[socialgraces]

My eyes, or what you see with yours? [ but she is more than just a pretty face... she hopes... ]

[valdrin]

Well, when you put it that way, perhaps a bit of both.

[socialgraces]

What else? [ her tone has dropped seductively low, her own eyes searching his face ] There must be a bit more to me than that.

[valdrin]

There's always that mysterious allure of yours.

[socialgraces]

Mm ... But what good is all this charm if I can't even entice to you say those few words I so desperately wish to hear fall from your lips at least once more this lifetime? [ let this be romantic without immediately turning to sex for just once val'drin ]

[valdrin]

You really are in a state, aren't you?

[socialgraces]

A state of bliss, yes. [ as she grins serenely at him ] Can you blame me?

[valdrin]

I never would. [ he presses a warm kiss to her, pulling her close. ] I love you, darling.

[socialgraces]

[ she smiles at his words, kissing him quite passionately in return. after a few breathless moments, she pulls back, still grinning ] Glad to hear it.

[ and she lets that hang there for a few seconds, still smirking her head off, before she leans back in, murmuring against his lips: ] I love you, too.

[valdrin]

I hope you've enjoyed yourself tonight. [ he sways slightly against her, hand on her waist ]

[socialgraces]

And I hope we're not intending to end the night here. [ she grin slyly, providing a little resistance to his swaying, for slightly more friction ] If we were at the castle, I'd insist you sweep me away now.

[valdrin]

Lucky for you that we aren't far from the castle at all, if I drive fast enough.

[socialgraces]

[ her grin widens in appreciation at his eagerness ] I'm not certain when my duties as best woman are no longer relevant, nor if slipping away in the middle of the reception might be in bad taste.

[ she still eyes the door longingly, lowering the volume of her voice ] Perhaps we could just sneak out for a bit and make our way back later to say our goodbyes? [ she turns back to him, brow arched suggestively ]

[valdrin]

You always were full of the best ideas. [ and he'll start to tug her away ]

[socialgraces]

[ there's a slight skip in her step as she follows, as this seems excessively naughty, and is equally exhilarating. they barely manage to make it to the car before she's tearing at his clothes, her mouth moving mercilessly against his. as she pulls back to catch her breath, she mutters hotly against his skin: ] I do believe this may actually be a first for us.

[valdrin]

[ wow his will save is shit so there goes her zipper :| ] Perhaps we can think of a few more along the way.

[socialgraces]

[ hahaha her will save is just as terrible, but her hands and mouth seem to know exactly what they're doing (dex 24), and she's making quick work of his zipper by this point, as well. however, the cool air against her bare skin reminds her that perhaps they should get in the car before this escalates any further.

locating the handle of the door blindly, and without slowing down her movements elsewhere, she unceremoniously yanks it open. she pulls back just slightly, her eyes devouring his features before locking with his, her own expression unabashedly lustful, and her words are husky and quite adamant (charm 64): ] Get in.
