#like arawn would ever forget that pretty face

[celestialdetected-moved]

Arawn remembered the circus fondly. The Fletching and Moondrop travelling carnival. Arawn had taken Rhiannon there for her third birthday; it had been one of the last nights he'd spent with his daughter before he'd made that supremely life altering fuck up.

She'd been dazzled by the lights, some strung up, some made to free float by magic. He remembered that he'd had to hold her close to keep her from touching them. Then there had been the fortune teller Rhiannon had taken one look at the tiefling's coat and had toddled off after them to get a better look, Arawn had caught up with them only to find the fortune teller turning this way and that so his little girl could see all the embroidery and spinning a wild and elaborate story about what each stitch meant. Arawn was only mostly sure they were lying.

He remembered the circus. He remembered that coat. But Arawn didn't know what it was doing here; at a shithole pub in Rexxentrum, full of shithole people. He watched the tiefling for a moment, it was hard not to they stood out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd. Bright cloth in a sea of dirty leathers, and well....most people in here weren't purple. Then he swaggered over with all the grace he could muster and sat himself down beside them.

"Pretty sure there isn't a carnival in town," he drawled, downing the dregs of his drink and signalling the barkeep for another. "So what are you doing here?"

@tcaleaf liked for a starter!

Hey fam. I'm gonna ask for... anemone and/or sweet pea for you and Cornelius, and Daffodil for Kardok?

Sorry for the delay king but the mental gymnastic I had to put myself through in order to answer your ask..... exquisite sdfghjk

Anyway, let's start with HoKi Poki and [redacted], shall we?

Anemone: Is your wedding extravagant or small and quaint? Do you have lots of guests or just a few close friends?

Bestie I'm. Not gonna lie but, the whole thing is probably going to be so small and quiet Cornelius would actually forget to invite himself to the ceremony. Not because he doesn't wanna be there but he's just built like that™ asdfgh (hint hint it's the depression baybeeee)

Jokes aside, I literally have no idea. Like, on one hand I really can't see Cornelius being one to be fond of this kind of loud fanfares, loud assertions and even louder ties. He'd rather keep things simple and reserved, especially since I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want people to know he too has a heart and he is indeed capable of love, ya know??

On the other hand though... Bro. He enjoys the sound of his voice. He really do! Also what about all his theatrics while raising the dead, what about that scene uhh?? So I. Kinda see (if I squint hard enough) him going full orator mode during the event, a grandious wedding of a scale large enough to be talked about for entire weeks, months even.

Sure, he'd probably treat the whole matter like a political thing to assert dominance over Prydain (and it kinda make sense too), but also as a very funky way to say "AH! In your face CUNT" to Arawn uwu

So, yeah. I'm a very conflicted creechur, still thanks for coming to my ted talk sfdghjk

Sweet pea: Does your wedding have a ‘theme’ or a color scheme that you try to adhere to? If so, what is it?

Ok so, I know I have yet to build up the lore and whatnot and I'm literally making shit up since never I have ever thought about marrying this fucking piece of moody beef jerky but honestly?? Me wants a Secret Garden themed wedding because damn we both deserve an enchanted fairytale marriage uwu.

Also the juxtaposition of life and death? Flowing nature and gnarled stone?? A dead tree finally finding a way to blossom again?? ? You feel me, I know you do <3c

I might also have a couple ideas for the color scheme, those being dark blue, mahogany red and ivory or maybe lavender, plum and navy blue jewel tones, but we'll see about that.

And finally for Lord Bhaltair Kardok and [undone]

Daffodil: What do you and your F/O’s wedding rings look like?

I was thinking about a couple of rugged wedding bands with engraved runes forged in dragon's fire. Their outline is adorned by solid gold and silver molten to the surface to resemble the night sky with its constellations.

Bhaltair's ring is a thick carved pewter band and bears an engraving of Vegvisir, the Viking compass, one of the most powerful Norse symbols believed to have the power to show the right way to those who lost their path. It was not chosen carelessly.

Mine is crafted out of his and the metal wire has been twisted and modeled after the shape of a horned Ouroboros, warily similar to the Serpent of Gallowmere. A symbol of eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation, death and rebirth. An omen and a warning.
