After a fairly whirlwind tour of the Coast, the teenage brunette and the redheaded swordswoman have placed and delivered a large number of fliers and invitations.

The next mission is to head to the island off Ulgoth's Beard. While infested with the hostile fish-folk, the island also has the flowers that Vala had indicated she wanted, so onward the seemingly fearless and way too bouncy Tellae forges, with Ronja in tow.

She's likely fearless because of Ronja being in tow, and "in tow" being on watch and on guard making short work of anything that even thinks of coming near the two women while Tellae busies herself gathering flowers, picking some and putting others in dirt in her various bags. She is completely distracted from the fact that there are things here that would like to kill her and hardly takes notice of any of the inhabitants that are foolish enough to attack with the scimitar wielding Ronja watchful and nearby.

"Oooh! Look at those...."

"These are gorgeous!"

"Don't you think these will go beautiful with Vala's eyes?"

"Hey look at that patch over there, that's a great offset for her hair color!"

"Wouldn't these go great with those?!"

This goes on for some time as the teen darts from patch and grouping to grouping and patch of flowers, completely absorbed in her task, thrusting flowers towards Ronja for her opinion from time to time, and stowing her prizes away.

Finally the pair completes the task and back to the clinic. Tellae then goes about setting up some of the flowers in arrangements for Vala's approval wit the aid of Ronja.

"Vala, Vala, Vala!" she dashes about excitedly, looking for the woman. When and if she finds the soon-to-be-a-bride, she grabs Vala by the hand and attempts to forcefully drag the much stronger swordswoman to where she has the samples laid out. "Ronja and I went around and put stuff up and then we went to the island to get the flowers. It's really, really pretty there and there are lots of flowers, so I started picking them. Ronja of course pretty much stabbed any of the fish-people that got to close... not that I COULDN'T of course, but Ronja is way, way faster at it than I am. We got lots of flowers both in dirt so they live until the wedding and some picked we could arrange some stuff for you to look at right now! Of course we have WAAAAY more flowers left over so if you want to set something together yourself, that's totally fine because it's YOUR day and we want it to be the way you want..."

She takes a breath, having said the whole spiel in one go and stands in side of the arrangements with her hands out like she is presenting them on a stage. "What do you think?"

Tellae presents each arrangement with a small showcase as to why the colors and such chosen, such as "This we thought would match your eyes!" or "This arrangement is something that I though might compliment your hair color, especially if it's down low enough to where you're holding the flowers near it" or "The purple and red I just thought was really, really pretty..."

After each one is displayed, Tellae stands back over towards Ronja and awaits Vala's thoughts with a huge grin. This is probably the quietest she's been since this whole invitations and flowers task started, but she is literally bouncing on the balls of her feet in excitement

At the clinic:

Ronja drops into the closes chair to rest her legs from all of the walking about with a ball of energy, kicking her boots up on the closes desk. As soon as Tellae comes back, pulling Vala with her, she coughs and drops her legs from the desk, sitting up in a more proper stance. As the flowers are presented she looks between the two, her eyes smiling.

. . .


The next meeting with Vala:

"And a bucket of the finest apples i will find for you!" She responds with a chuckle, waving with her hand to her as she leaves and with glimse of curiosity in her eyes at the request. Not long after she strolls toward the marketplace, in which she spends a good amount of time inspecting their apple selection and selecting the most colorful ones.

Vala sends a letter back almost immediately to Rania.

Dear Rania

I love the idea! Thank you so much! If at any point I am missing during the reception it is not because I found a corner where I could stuff my face with them. But seriously, I really appreciate it Rania. I can't wait!

Sincerely
Vala (soon-to-be) Dunn

"Wow!"

Vala is after that speechless... After a little while of walking around the different arrangements of flowers. She finally speaks again...

"Wow...."


She then chuckles and smiles simply amazed. "No kidding..."


She looks through them all listening as Tellae explains the different arrangements. "I love them. You did an amazing job." She points out what she likes and doesn't like.

"I wonder if we can make them look more... I don't know..wild? disheveled ... less neat...? Kind of like a storm just blew through." She chuckles softly at a thought and then smiles looking between Ronja and Tellae.

Tellae sits back and actually gets out parchment and takes notes as Vala tells her what she does and doesn't like regarding the flower arrangements. She may be super-excitable, but she pays attention. At least in this.

Tellae sets to work with some of the remaining flowers. The brunette's gaze is actually pretty focused as she works at a furious pace, completely oblivious to anything around her. One could probably walk up and push her over before she would notice someone was there.

Getting some jars and vases to set some things in, as well as some ties, she tries some new color combinations as well as getting a more "windswept" look in the arrangements.

Upon her first attempt she steps back and regards it...

Image

She leaves this for Vala's review and approval and sets again on another assortment and arrangement. This ends up being a bit "traditional" other than some of the pieces being fairly uneven.

Image

She frowns a little at it, setting it down for review as well before getting the jars. In these she places an assortment of smaller arrangements, more fitting really for bride's maids than the bride herself perhaps...

Image

Frowning at herself and the smaller arrangements she starts once again at her frantic pace to put together some sort of suitable arrangement of flowers, this time going for an "uneven" look but using more red.

Image

Setting that one also aside she continues yet even more, toiling well into the evening, not uttering a word...

Image

Image

Image

Tellae completes her task with uncharacteristic silence, her bouncy, over excited energy completely focused on what she's doing, working well past the hour she normally takes rest. The arrangements are set aside for Vala to inspect at her leisure, though she likely will find the young woman asleep at the table, head resting on her folded arms with bits of clipped flowers all around.

Vala walks in to find Tellae sleeping at the desk. Upon seeing her, Vala's face,first in surprise, begins to smile brightly. She walks around quietly.. well quiet as a wagon with a broken wheel is quiet, but tries not to wake Tellae. She eyes one of the bouquets laying on the table and her mouth drops. She picks up the bouquet carefully and looks at it in every which way. She notices all the different pieces and how it was put together.

After a few moments Vala moves over behind the sleeping Tellae and whispers into her ear. "It's perfect." She says and then gently lays the perfect bouquet in front of Tellae. "This is the one."

At the whisper into her ear, the sleeping girl shifts a little, smiling unconsciously. Then Tellae is oblivious to the world again, resting on the table quietly, head still resting in her arms.

Vala smiles as she stirs and then places a gentle kiss on her head and whispers. "Thank you Tellae." She then places her cloak over the girl's shoulders and heads back out.

Ronja comes by one of the days, peaking her head in. "Hey! Is Vala in?" She steps in as nobody answers, leaving a note for her on the desk.
Dear Vala

I recieved letter from Iris and wanted to leave some questions she had with you.
  • Regarding the proposal, was it day or night?
    Where was it?
    Where did they first meet?
    Where is Vala from?
Will come by again at evening time to see if you have received it. Take care!

*Signed, Ronja Leonhart*

Dear Ronja

I'm from Baldur's Gate. Born and raised.. well mostly. Lived up in waterdeep for 6 years.. give or take. I got back from that a little bit over a year ago.

Michael and I met for the first time on the island off of Ulgoth's beard. It was day at the time... early morning. I was just stepping off the boat to go collect some berries for a job when he greeted me with his usual 'little lady'. We ended up helping each other out with the berry collecting and then spending the rest of the evening together at the Bearded Mermaid before we parted ways. It was either that night... or the night after we even fought some pirates together. It was actually really really fun.

So naturally it was there he proposed to me - the island off of Ulgoth's Beard. We were standing on the Twilight Rose earlier in the evening and were talking about the future and where we saw ourselves in a year... and when I asked what else he wanted more he told me two words that shifted my whole world. "Vala Dunn". After that he said "Come find me in the place where all this began. Don't stop in the grit, takes all five to get you there." I went to the island. It was dusk at this point. I collected all the berries just like before and there he was .. standing at the last bush. He was very romantic. Melted my heart all over again and then he knelt on one knee and proposed to me.

He gave me a month.. I told him a year.. and somehow we managed just in the middle.

If Iris has any more questions, she can send me a letter at the Blade and Stars.
Sincerely
Vala (soon-to-be) Dunn

Vala would come by Nathans work, not only meet him officially, but to check out his bakery goods. She buys a good round of them and takes them with her after paying. She thanks him happily and heads outside to find a spot by the fountain so she can listen to the musician while she spends the next candlemark or so munching on varied assortments of sweetcakes and pastries.

When she is done she makes her way over to the musician and drops 70gp into the musicians bucket, nodding happily to him in thanks for the music before heading on her way.

Days after the wedding.
Freya was painting and trying out to keep different situations in her mind. But only one remained worth most. That was the moment, when the couple exchanged the "I do's" and the rings. Every detail, every emotion is kept in it with heartblood and love. Their words could not be painted into the picture and not express what the beholder would see in their eyes and expressions:
A promise of true and eternal love.
But also the priestess mustn't be missing, thought Freya, to show the world one thing. Even Lathander as the Lord of sun and light, gave his blessing to this unision. Who now still might have doubts, cannot be helped anymore.
Image
So this would be delivered to Vala and michael the next days in a golden frame. Yes, it was real gold on it and beautyfully adorned. Hoping, the couple would like it, she would add a message.
Hey you two,

this is our chosen moment of the wedding. Let us know, if everything is to your liking.

Enjoy your marriage
Herran & Freya
