The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

Arista looks confused for a moment before her tired eyes light up, "Ylrhea...do you mean...you and Sadhana?" She leaves her question open ended since she didn't know how much they wanted everyone to know.

"I decided to focus on family and I'm hanging up the daggers," Ylrhea says. She waves her hands frantically. "But I don't want this to detract from your big day...it's just I'd rather get it out in the open now than have to answer a billion questions tomorrow."

"Well, yeah, this does kinda detract from the mood."

Arista picks up Ylrhea and hugs her, "Oh Rhea, I'm so happy for you and Sadhana. Don't worry, you won't ever have to deal with anything alone. This is going to be so exciting...we need to start a club or something." She stops to yawn, "Oh I'm sorry...Celine woke up really early, so I've only had like two hours of sleep since all that stuff yesterday." She stops and realizing that she's still holding Ylrhea she puts her down gently, "Sorry Rhea, I guess I got a little carried away. I'm just so happy I won't be alone." She says while trying to stifle another yawn. She looks at Sienna and gives her a little hug, "I'm gonna miss all of you too, lots and lots. We'll have to have a big dinner when you come back. Don't be sad okay? This is a good thing, really it is....but....who's gonna take your place Rhea? They're still gonna need someone that can handle traps and stuff...." She rambles on, her tiredness making it hard to focus on one thing at a time.

"Mirrin..." Ylrhea manages, trying to catch her breath.

"Mirrin huh? Well good, it'll do her some good to get out and do something productive. Maybe she'll find whatever it is she's looking for. The hardest part for me I think is just sitting back and trying to let go of the control. I know there will be healers there and everything, it's just gonna be strange not being out there with you guys." She covers her mouth as she starts to yawn yet again, "I better get back to my seat and finish dinner before I fall asleep in it. Come by any time Rhea okay? We can cook stuff together, it'll be fun. Celine is staying with Rajni tonight so we can get some rest." She says, the redness and darkness under her eyes very obvious, even with her skin tone.

"Geez, I'm not pregnant yet and you're already conscripting me into your 'Mommy and Me' club," Ylrhea says, trying not to laugh.

She smiles, "But you're gonna get pregnant, and I love the name. 'Mommy and Me'. That's what we'll call it, and as future mommies, we can all get together once a week to talk about whatever we want, symptoms, cravings, you know...stuff like that, and then maybe like twice a month we can have a 'Cooking with Arista' meeting where we all get together and I show how to make something. Maybe we can find someone else that can teach us to sew or something. Wouldn't that be fun?" She says as she starts getting excited.

Having already finished eating, she looks over at her mommy's half full plate of food getting cold and shakes her head. Mommy needed to finish her dinner.

Getting up from the table she goes over to where mommy is laughing with her friends and tugs on her arm. When mommy turns to look at her she points her index finger at her and shakes it, "Finish eating mommy, food get cold. You need eat." She says before crossing her little arms resolutely.

Drago came back with the food and sat next to Yulia. Looking at the some of the expressions, he asked is fiance, "What did I miss?"

"It seems that Ylrhea is giving up the adventuring life."

"I found my replacement. What's the problem with that?"

"How about we talk about this after we eat and cut some cake?" Sienna asks, pleadingly. She narrows her eyes at the gnome. "Can one day not be about you?"

"I'm not trying to make it about me," Ylrhea says.

Sienna closes her eyes and sighs. "Cutie, do you want me to bring us some food?"

Gwen brings two plates of food for her mothers. "I thought I would be helpful."

Sienna, on the verge of tears because her special day was being hijacked by her long-time friend, takes a deep breath to calm herself. "Thank you, Gwen."

Dillon looks to Rajni after looking toward the brides. "I think something's wrong."

"Would it be okay if I stayed with Nana and Papa tonight to give you and Mother Cyna some privacy?" Gwen asks. "Nana and Papa said privacy is important after a wedding. I don't know why."

Looking at the two she sighs, "No one is trying to take away from your special day. She was just defending her choice, which she should know she doesn't have to. It's okay Sienna, everything will work out." She thought Sienna might be having some feelings about so many of them stepping away from thed front lines, when she knew that Sienna wanted to be with Gwen, but now was not the time to discuss it. Looking at Ylrhea she says, "It's okay, really. I need to go finish my dinner and get Celine to Rajni. I'll see you guys before we go home." She says giving Sienna and Ylrhea both another hug. Looking at Sienna she says, "I'm sorry I got off on some baby tangent. It's my fault for bringing it up and derailing the conversation. Today is your day and should be all about you. You guys just enjoy your dinner, and I'm sure Hadrinn has prepared a spectacular cake for the both of you."

Rajni looks up and gets a strange look on her face, "Maybe I should just go ahead andc get Celine now? It looks like things are getting emotional up there."

Having finished their dinner, Tesia looks up as she senses the tension in the room shift. Looking up and seeing the looks on everyone's faces she looks at her love, "Let's give them our well wishes now before the cake. That way we can head home after dessert." Getting up she takes her wife's hand and heads over to the couple's table, "We just wanted to tell you both that it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony, and how happy we are for you. You both look gorgeous in those dresses, and the food is delicious."

"Huh, good for her," Drago thought, his mind flashing back to Ylrhea's death and resurrection. Yeah, I don't think she'd be okay going through that again.

Feeling ignored by the adults she tugs on mommy's hand again, "Mommy! No dinner, no cake. Eat now." She says, trying to get her mommy back to where they were sitting so she could eat.

Sienna shakes her head. "I think our daughters want us to eat, Arista."

The tiefling composes herself and smiles at Tesia and Rhadaya. "Thank you. I'm glad you came though you don't know us as well as some of the others."

Gwen looks to Cyna for an answer to her question since it seemed like Sienna was troubled.

Looking back at Sienna as she's herded back to her seat by her toddler she nods, "Okay, we can talk later."

She gives Sienna a smile, "I know we haven't known you as long as your other friends, but it's so easy to see how much you two love each other. I love seeing two people in love and how they confirm their commitment to each other in such a public and beautiful way. As long as you both support, love, trust, and respect each other, I believe there is nothing that you can't do. I'm probably just a crazy romantic like that. I'm really happy that we could come too, though we're probably going to get going after the cake. I just wanted to tell you congratulations before things got busy and I forgot."

"Yes Gwen. I think that would be for the best, I'll explain it some other time." Cyna answers fighting a blush.

"Okay, Mother," Gwen says with a smile and going to sit back down with her aunts and grandparents.

After some time, Hadrinn brings out a lovely four-tiered cake with the icing designed to look like a forest.

Dillon shakes his head. "Looks like it calmed down a bit. You can wait until we're ready to leave."

"Stop pushing me Celine, I'm going." She sits down and eats some more of her dinner. She was wearing out fast though.

Tesia gives the couple another smile and goes to sit back down with her love as the cake comes out. She nearly drools as she sees it, "Oh my...."

Hadrinn cuts two slices for the brides before directing Nyder to cut more pieces for the guests.

When Arista gets her piece she cuts it in half and shares it with Celine, while making sure they both get some milk to go with it.

After they get their piece of cake, Tesia takes a small bite and hums softly while swaying happily from side to side as she enjoys the confectionery creation.

Rajni savors her piece of cake as they enjoy it together.

Sienna takes a small piece of the cake on her fork and feeds it to Cyna.

Yulia yawns. "If you want a piece of cake, love, help yourself. I don't think I want any."

Finishing his plate and wiping his mouth, "I'm rather full actually."

"Then let's hand Sienna and Cyna our gift and go home," Yulia says. "I need some cuddling."

"Alright my Sweet," Drago responds as he stood up.

Taking out the present, he walked up with Yulia to the newlyweds, "Sienna, Cyna, a very well deserved congratulations on this blessed day. All the best wishes to the both of you and to Gwen. This is for you."

"Oh, thank you," Sienna says, unwrapping the gift. "A waffle iron! That's so thoughtful of both of you."

Yulia smiles. "It should make for some delicious breakfasts. Good night."

Sienna shakes her head. "I think our daughters want us to eat, Arista."

The tiefling composes herself and smiles at Tesia and Rhadaya. "Thank you. I'm glad you came though you don't know us as well as some of the others."

She gives Sienna a smile, "I know we haven't known you as long as your other friends, but it's so easy to see how much you two love each other. I love seeing two people in love and how they confirm their commitment to each other in such a public and beautiful way. As long as you both support, love, trust, and respect each other, I believe there is nothing that you can't do. I'm probably just a crazy romantic like that. I'm really happy that we could come too, though we're probably going to get going after the cake. I just wanted to tell you congratulations before things got busy and I forgot."

Rhadaya smiles as well nodding at her wife's words. "It's a joy to share in such a special day with you both. I'm always happy to share joyful moment with those I fight alongside. You both make beautiful brides." the storm sorceress adds.

As they sit back down and the cake is served, Rhadaya grins, knowing Tes' weakness for sweets. As she takes a bite, enjoying the rich flavor, she smiles at the quiet hum she loved hearing, leaning her head against her wife with a happy sigh.

Chuckling at Arista's reaction to Ylrhea's revelation, the magus is caught a bit offguard at Sienna's reaction. Remaining silent for the moment she sits beside her love as the cake is served, gently rubbing her back. [smaller]"Don't worry about it love, you didn't take away from their moment, there'll be plenty of time for all of us to talk about things later."

Offering Yulia his arm once again, he turned to the pair of Tieflings, "Fair evening to the both of you."

The two make their way home. For some strange, inexplicable reason, Drago found the chill air refreshing.

After finishing the cake she lets out a happy sigh of contentment, "That was so good and I am so full now. I hate to say it, but we better get going. I still have about five hours of studying ahead of me today before I can get some rest."
