Elann could feel the subtle pulls of pain in her husband as he finally conceded. It was deserved, being the butt that he was, and she finally was victorious, even if by him letting her win. Immediately she popped a candy into her mouth out of the three she took from him and sat up from her position in laying across his body.

As she moved to sit next to him, he stole a kiss on her temple and told her he loved her. Warmth spread through her whole body as the love invaded her from him. It was funny to hear his "I love you" as well because of the candies in his cheeks or mouth at that point. Almost as if by reward, she reached for his hand and gave him the two remaining candies back. It was her way of saying that she loved him too, as he could feel through their shared bond.

The bond continued to radiate increasingly as she nestled up next to him and into his arms. She gently caressed the arm that got hurt as if to soothe him and give him comfort as Aimee spoke, even if it meant reaching across him in a hug to do so. 

Aimee perked up and spoke of the party, causing Elann to smile brightly, a light in the gloom. Stuffing the candy into her cheek, she was able to talk once more.

"Honestly, I have had a dream since a little girl of a fabulous wedding party. I think every girl in our tribe does, but really, I'm going to be happy with anything at this point- even if it is just us three and a small bit of food. I'm thankful for anything you all wish to give me and Noah."

She looked up to him as it was his party as well. 

"I'm sure he's glad that we aren't doing it my way...particularly the part where everyone surrounds him and sings at him."

She giggled then, looking to her husband's eyes for his face for his reaction as she brought the candy to the edge of her lips, almost as if a taunt for him to show her victory. He wouldn't be able to take it from her as she would be quick to sneak it back in, but her lips would taste like the candy.
