[Silence reigns for a long moment - how often is Morrigan shocked in a way that isn't terrible lately? - until she recovers herself. A throat that cracks on the surprise, falters--

Motherhood is the edge of a knife for both of them, and she'd laugh if this didn't have the semblance of something else to be cradled as carefully as a newborn skull in the palm of the hand, supported, mindful of the soft spots.]

I have never attended a wedding, what is a mother meant to do at such an occasion?

[Which is her saying yes in a Morrigan fashion, hesitant and uncomfortable at a thing where she will be entirely out of her depth.]

[elegiaque]

( the unsteady laugh of unexpected success— )

Do you know, I have no idea?

( she's gone out of her way not to know that sort of thing for a long time, although 'long' is comparative, given her youth. )

I'd just—very much like for you to be with me.

[arcaneadvisor]

[Perhaps it ought to concern Morrigan that it's so very easy to give so much to her and yet…]

You've never attended?

[Although the idea of Gwenaëlle at a wedding? At Emeric's side? That might be what has Morrigan joining in the laughter, if not just the thought of whatever farcical affair an Orlesian ceremony is.]

Where else would I be? I do wish to see the look on Thranduil's face from the best view I might have, I imagine he is taking this all with utmost seriousness.

[elegiaque]

Maybe once or twice as a child, but I don't care for weddings, much, and I've never paid them much mind—Thranduil, of course, is all for doing the thing properly. That's the point, I suppose, look at this good rifter, doing all the right things.

( the bride in question makes a disparaging noise, but morrigan knows how much she loves him; that she wouldn't do this for anyone else, or anything less. )

[arcaneadvisor]

He has been informed then that the Chantry Mother or Sister wears the robes in such cases? It would not do to upstage her but for the look on her face. [Has she seen him in much else unless there's been fighting? Maybe but let them not have a shortage of curtains for the sake of a wedding, there has to be a simple way to shut out the monstrosity of the city at the end of the day after all.] Thranduil has such an odd idea of properly...This is a day to be gawped at for all.

[If the wedding can't be in Orlais, Orlais will come to the wedding in spirit?]

[elegiaque]

I'm staying well out of the planning, but I have banned any costume changes.

[arcaneadvisor]

Not even a candelabra element for a tragic accident with unfortunate guests?

[The Inquisition has bodies it could afford to lose you know ...]

[elegiaque]

Exceptions could be made.

[arcaneadvisor]

Have you roles in mind for others? I do prefer to know who goes into battle alongside myself.

[Because really what else is this?]

[elegiaque]

Most of all that sort of thing will be down to Thranduil, though I think I'll have someone to stand with me, and whatnot, but I was thinking that I'd like to include Kieran as well.

( have her family with her, in this trying time. )

[arcaneadvisor]

Then perhaps I might have reason to speak with him. [Not that she's been avoiding him after her mother, thanks Wren.] Kieran would be pleased, you know how deeply he adores you.

[elegiaque]

He means the world to me. You both do.

[arcaneadvisor]

If I had ever had a daughter, I would have wanted her to be as you are. The whole of you.

[Yes even the parts you might not like because she'd change nothing, she loves you.]

I never thought to have a family in such a way, I'd change none of this at all.

[elegiaque]

I'm very grateful.
