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.

I can't imagine that you all could find too much trouble if we slipped away for a weekend...

[Slowly convincing herself that a honeymoon sounds like a good plan.]

[nothingsodivine]

We can definitely be allowed unsupervised for a whole weekend. We'll even get Archer a padded room. With hookers.

[witchwoman]

[She shakes her head, laughing.]

I'll talk to him about it. It would be nice to get away for a few days while we have the chance.

[...because the mission is on pause. Not bc of pregnancy. Nope. Not at all.]

[nothingsodivine]

Yeah, pretty soon we'll be in desperate need of a cleric again. No rest for the healers. [He shakes his head right back.] I'm serious. You need the vacation, Little Bit.

[witchwoman]

I'm not the only one. I'm sure if you thought very hard, you could find someone to spend a weekend away with.

[Teases him about his boyfriend basically]

[nothingsodivine]

Well, I'm not gonna lie and say the thought hasn't crossed my mind.... [dorky smile. hahaha twitterpated doesn't cover it.]

[witchwoman]

[Myri just likes seeing her people happy. She's learning (slowly but surely) that finding that happiness may not involve being superglued to each other. But seeing the way Des lights up at the mere idea of taking a vacation with Zarad? Well, she can't deny what would make him happiest.]

I'm glad you have him. I'm glad you have a reason to smile like that.

[nothingsodivine]

Me too. [He's still dancing, even though the song has changed, but being distracted by his derpiness has brought him down to something a little less fantastic (dance 14).] I'm crazy about him, Myri.

[witchwoman]

I know you are. And it makes me so happy to see. You deserve that happiness, Des.

[nothingsodivine]

[he slows down a bit, falling into a simple rhythmic sway rather than an actual dance.] You know when this is over, I... I'm gonna go with him. Wherever that is. I mean no one really believed I was gonna stick around, anyway, but... now I have a reason. That's still a ways off, though. You haven't gotten rid of me just yet.

[witchwoman]

I know, Des. [She says quietly, glancing down and nodding.] I'm not... looking forward to the day we have to say goodbye, but I know well enough not to try to convince you to stay. But I would hope that once you walk away, it wouldn't mean that we would never see you again.

[Visits. There can be visits, right??]

[nothingsodivine]

'Course not. [His smile is utterly sincere, as if he's shocked anyone would assume anything less.] Under better circumstances. Y'know, when we're not constantly under threat of being murdered or mind-controlled or both.

[witchwoman]

Of course. [She seems to breathe a little easier. Des has always just talked about leaving, not about visiting after. Myri's not really sure how it works.]

It's just... it's important to me that to make sure I have you in my life.

[And her baby's life but she's not telling him that part just yet.]

[nothingsodivine]

Leaving doesn't mean vanishing into the ether, Little Bit. I mean sure I've... never came back a few times when it comes down to things like this, but there were always extenuating circumstances. [He swallows.] In the sense that no one wanted me to come back.

[witchwoman]

[She gives his arm a gentle squeeze. She knows how that goes- leaving because no one wanted you to come back.]

You'll always be welcome here. I hope you have no doubt of that. You mean so much to us, to me. You're family.

[nothingsodivine]

[The song ends and Des swallows, slowly backing away with his hand still lingering in Myri's.] Do me a favor? Tell me that again when this is all over.

[He squeezes her hand.] Now go find your husband, Little Bit.

[witchwoman]

[Pressing up on her tip toes, she tugs at him until he meets her so she can kiss his cheek.]

I'll tell you every day until my last breath if you asked me. [And with a little smile for him, she nods and lets go of his hand to go back to find Finnick.]
