[center][h2][color=708090] Exon [/color] and his brides [i][color=ed145b]Nadia [/color][/i] and[color=33d6c2][s] Sisi [/s]Saisri[/color][/h2][/center] Exon frowned at his spirited wife. [color=708090] "Regardless of what happened, you handled the situation poorly. Even if my brother was at fault and you defended yourself, he could kill you, and nothing would happen to him. Keep that in mind," [/color] He glanced around as most of the other couples ventured off towards the dining hall.[color=708090] "It is time to go in," [/color] He said, taking Nadia's hand and Saisri's arm and leading them off to the hall. Nadia stayed close to Exon as they walked to the banquet hall, not wanting to be taken from him again. The crowd had grown denser since she'd been chosen, and she could barely see the walls of the room through the wall of people around them. The crowd thinned out a little as they entered the next, considerably larger room. Only those who had chosen their brides were here yet, and so most of the seats around the large tables were empty. Looking around the room, while it was still of Gem design, it was not quite as extravagant as the Choosing room had been. And perhaps that was better. While the Choosing room was beautiful, Nadia had never really seen anything like it back in Gemmina. This room reminded her of the buildings in the town, beauty and comfort in simplicity. Of course, the Drakken ruined any illusion she could have made to herself that she was back home, as she noticed Exon's two brothers over at a buffet next to the wall. [color=ed145b]"Exon, your brothers are over there."[/color] She started after getting her husband's attention, motioning over to where she saw them. [color=ed145b]"Should we go over to them?"[/color] Saisri sighed internally, but tried to appear somewhat engaged in what was being said, at least enough to pull off a reasonably contrite expression. [color=33d6c2]"Sorry, my lord, it won't happen again."[/color] Despite her best effort she couldn't keep the mischievous tone entirely out of her voice, a lilt that said she didn't intend to make good on her promise. Unlike her sister-bride, Saisri pulled as far away from Exon as she could, her eyes never leaving the people swarming around them. She loved being surrounded by people, like she was a salmon packed into a pool of sparkling water with several hundred others. Just the thought of it made her mind calm down entirely, her heart rate finally settling to normal after the encounter with Atreyu. The architecture held no special significance for Saisri. Her family had never really been one to stay in a village for too long; they had their farm and their lake and would only come into town very rarely, when they needed things. She had never liked the architecture, though; everything had seemed to cluttered and compressed with all of the attempted grandeur and elegance. Give her an open meadow with a river in it over an enclosed, ornate palace any day. [color=708090] "I can see them My light,"[/color] he said, glancing over at his brother, before looking back at Nadia. [color=708090] "And, let's hope that they choose to stay over there and drink themselves silly. I do not think that my brother, or your sister-wife would do well to be...near each other," [/color] He pulled his wandering wife closer to him, holding tight enough that there would be Exon-sized finger print bruises there. [i]Sorry M'lord, it won't happen again [/i] [color=708090] " I doubt even you believed that," [/color] He said, shaking his head. [color=708090] "Come on then, my little love,"[/color] his voice more than a little snarky. [color=708090] "Let us sit before all the good spots are taken," [/color] He said, taking his new brides off towards one of the higher seats near a corner spot. [hider=tl;dr] These three are cutie pies and are ready to move on with the night. So they sit at a table. Also Saisri is a sassy hat and Nadia is a cinnamon roll [/hider]
