[color=lavender]"Love? Is that what you're calling me now?"[/color] It hadn’t even been a minute after Vertti slid that seal on Mie’s finger and she was already calling her pet names. She wanted to get more information about the purple giant Mie had been contracted by, but she was still taken back by everything that happened. Technically nothing was set in stone yet. There was all kinds of paperwork and a ceremony to go through. Vertti was just now starting to think about the changes that would have to come. Was she Mistress Yukima now, or was her spouse Mie Vertti? Did Lugnica recognize marriage between two woman? Vertti hadn’t ever been the romantic sort. She took a husband to expand her family’s influence, but otherwise hadn’t spent much time pursuing romance. Maybe Mie would be happier with a different arrangement, but she seemed to enjoy the idea that they were a couple now. There would be more time to worry about that once there wasn’t a siege going on. [s]She'd need to think of a cute name for her though.[/s]

A knock at the door, Grisaia’s voice. Vertti power walked over to the door and threw it open without saying a word. Grisaia’s arm was still in knocking position when Vertti wrapped her arms around him. [color=lavender]"Ah!"[/color] She started to laugh, both out of relief and the absurdity of the situation. [color=lavender]"Alright Grisaia, something has changed."[/color] Vertti sat on the side of her bed. [color=lavender]"I know I told you that Mie couldn’t be trusted, but that was over a little miscommunication we had earlier. We do have a bit more to discuss."[/color] She looked to Mie and nodded. [color=lavender]"But it’s more or less been sorted out and everything’s going to be fine."[/color] She looked back to Grisaia. [color=lavender]"She agreed to look after the seal for me."[/color] Vertti wasn’t being dishonest with Grisaia, but this would be a lot easier to explain to him later once they talked over the fine details. She just hoped he hadn’t listened in. That would have been embarrassing.
