pre-wedding

[called_lioness]

She's...not exactly nervous.

A little nervous.

A tad nervous.

But not scared, really, as she looks at the dress Susan made her and the flowers Mary's brought, and fidgets, slightly, trying to remember how to breathe.

The twins are sulking around her feet, and it's something of a comfort that makes her smile.

"Here's the bride," Susan says, walking in quietly. Her head is aching just a wee bit, but other than that, she's here for her Lu.

"So it seems," Lucy says with a smile as she hugs Lavender to her chest.

Susan comes over to give her sister a hug, being very careful not to crowd Lavender. "How are you, Lu? Can I bring you anything?"

[called_lioness]

"A bit...I don't know," she laughs, and lets Lavender loose to lean against Susan.

"Nervous, I suppose. And no, nothing. How's your head?"

Alanna isn't exactly sure what pre-wedding protocol is, but something tells her that Lucy might need a friendly hand to squeeze. Besides, that's never stopped her before.

She knocks lightly on the door, a wrapped package under one arm and a green dragon wrapped around her neck.

Puff had been oddly insistent about coming along.

MAMA.

MAMA.

WE ARE IN THE CEREMONY!

The twins have tiny necklaces on that Lucy got for them from Bar.

"Hullo, Alanna," Lucy says, a bit nervously, as she smiles and smoothes at her hair.

[a_lioness]

"Lucy," Alanna very nearly whispers. "You look absolutely beautiful."

And she does. A tiny voice in the back of Alanna's head wonders what sort of wedding dress she would have chosen, but it's quickly squashed. She's enjoying her own dress far too much for even the smallest regret. It might be the deep green color, but more likely it's the way the dress highlights the bump.

You will be ssspectacular, my darlingsss.

Puff straightens on Alanna's shoulder and looks at Lucy with a penetrating stare.

It seems to say: Are you sure, Human?

[called_lioness]

She blushes, a little, as she leans in to kiss Alanna's cheek, and looks down at the dress.

"Susan made it for me. It really is a lovely gown."

It suits her, and Lucy is content.

YES, MAMA.

WE REALLY WILL.

Lucy looks back at Puff and smiles. "Hullo, milady dragon. I've a gift for you, if you'd like it."

And everything about Lucy's smile answers the question Puff asks with an affirmative.

"Hey, your-about-to-be-double Majesty," Lilly says, grinning as she slips into the room with a rather large mug of coffee, possibly necessitated by the previous evening's festivities.

"How're you feeling?"

[called_lioness]

"Nervous," Lucy decides after a moment and smiles at Lilly.

"You?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Only mildly hungover," Lilly says happily. "Vitamins and water, every time."

"Not nervous, though. I mean, if I thought you suspected my plans to stand up at the speak now bit and tearfully confess my love for you before drunkenly passing out on the hem of your wedding dress, I might be nervous. But as it is, I'm good."

[called_lioness]

"Was that your confession of love?" Lucy asks, amused.
