[OPEN] 12/14 SOMETHING HAPPY BEFORE WE DESCEND BACK INTO DESPAIR

[flowerclips]

[ It was decided that the wedding would take place at the castle, somewhere that was quaint, small, and personal. Now that the bottom two floors have been restored, it looks nicer than its original run-down state. Added with all the decorations, all pink and yellow with plenty of cute things, it certainly has taken a completely new look, one that's appropriate for a celebration. ]

[ There'll be the actual wedding ceremony itself where everyone can sit in their seats with 52 cats that are wearing matching white knitted sweaters and then there'll be the party afterwards where everyone is allowed to eat and drink as much as they want. There is no particular dress requirement for the wedding except for one: everyone must wear a flower clown as soon as they enter the castle grounds. ]

[ Enjoy! ]

[ Hm. Orien looks ahead and thinks to himself a little, remembering what his family life was like as Jace: living with two loving, but strict parents, a decent childhood, promising his parents that he would let them retire early out of love and not familial obligation... then they died in the war among the demigods as a side casualty. Even though he was an only child, he was happy with his parents.

Lily was always loved very much and Orien made sure of it, despite his own general taciturn nature. Orien always made an exception for Lily. Love makes so much difference.

...

He turns his head over to Kido. ]

Terry does best with straightforward words and actions, despite his powers.

[ Terry: Pinpointing? What's that?

That said, Terry's still an idiot. ]

A hug should suffice.

[ Straightforward words and actions just make her think about how hard those things are for her. Something as simple as saying "I love you," things like hugs and kisses that she shouldn't still be nervous giving and receiving but she still is. She still likes holding hands best.

She glances over at wherever Terry is, probably smiling like a doofus because he can't help it these few days, and then looks back at Orien. ]

...is that really good enough?

[overstrain]

... Do you think otherwise?

[ He asks, since he wants to know Kido's opinion on that. ]

Did you want to give him more? If you do, by all means.

[ Orien sounds so serious. Who knows if he genuinely means it or is teasing. ]

[reveilation]

[ Don't do this to her!!! Kido just goes bright red in response, because the words won't come out right away. ]

N-no, it's just- He always looked happy when we--

[ ... ]

Never mind, I'll figure it out myself!

[ Kido gets off Nekogami's back and walks away, leaving both the Persona and Orien behind. She's going to get a cup of some questionable drink from the punch bowl and down it like a shot. ]

[overstrain]

[ Orien looks down at Nekogami and then up at where Kido left. "He always looked happy when we"... what? Kissed? That's Orien's best guess. How nice must it be to be young again. Orien is forever an old geezer in mind in comparison to Terry to being an eternal child.

He coils back up on the seat, enjoying the warmth Nekogami provides. ]
