"Thee look well," she says softly, from behind Lucy. "Are thee so?"

It's a deep breath Lucy takes and lets out, and it shakes, a little.

But she's smiling when she turns her head to look at Susan.

"Aye. Well and wed," raising her hand to show Susan the ring, "both. Mayhap the one is due to the other. And you, Susan?"

And oh, but at the sight of the ring Susan beams, and raises her own hand to brush the golden fall of hair back over her shoulder -- and light glints from her own ring.

(Was it there before, these last days? Who can say?)

Her smile is warm and sweet -- and knowing, oh aye.

"The two things together are very well indeed, say true." A beat, and her smile gentles. "I'm well, Lu."

"I'm glad of it," she smiles, and moves to stand.

It's a moment before she hugs the other girl, on a whim, for oh, Lucy is well indeed, and doubly-well in this place, and there's no way to show her joy, not really, but a hug will do.
