Session

Firin and Paiza have dinner with Firrin's mother

* Ms_Liralu is meeting the couple for breakfast on the day of the wedding
* Paiza will have made sure to ask Firrin what sort of things his mother likes, then made sure to have the appropriate foods prepared, etc.
* Firrin can definitely provide some info but also say that she will want to feel paperped but not like...shamed. but that can be difficult...
* Paiza will do her best, and be sure to ask for input/advice as necessary.
* Ms_Liralu will meet the couple at a little dining are where she has been wheeled out by staff and has a blanket on her lap while she drinks some tea
<Firrin> Good morning, mom.
<Ms_Liralu> Oh there you, are, my boy. And your lovely bride!
* Ms_Liralu is a small, frail looking woman with a frame that seems liek she was once much sturdier, and a well-faded beauty.
<Ms_Liralu> Excuse me if I don't get up, dearie, My back you know.
<Firrin> It's alright mom. This is Paiza.
* Ms_Liralu looks Paiza over
* Paiza smiles.
<Paiza> It's very nice to meet you.
<Ms_Liralu> Good to meet you, please have a seat
* Paiza takes a seat.
<Paiza> I hope everything has been to your liking so far.
<Ms_Liralu> Firrin, my blanket it slipping. They just don'rt kno how to tuck it in properly
<Firrin> Oh, yes.
* Firrin can adjust it (not much to your eye, but she seems pleased).
<Ms_Liralu> That's better dear.
<Ms_Liralu> Everyoen here is so solicitous, but they have so many guests, its not the same as havign someone who knows you.
<Paiza> I suppose it has been particularly crowded with all the wedding guests. I could ask about more personalized service if you like.
<Firrin> I thought you were brining Gizelle?
<Ms_Liralu> Oh, no, don't worry about me.
* Ms_Liralu waves paiza off
<Ms_Liralu> and I did bring Gizelle but she doens't know where anything is here of course, and everythign has to go through the house staff. It's just not the same as being hime. Lovely of course.
<Paiza> Have you had a chance to visit the pools yet? They can be quite relaxing.
<Firrin> here's several different ones, and many of them private
<Ms_Liralu> I had a nice soak lask night
<Ms_Liralu> all sorts of healthful minerals Ib was told. you hardly noticed the smell after a little while, but I do think it helped some
<Paiza> That's good to hear.
<Firrin> I'm glad.
<Ms_Liralu> I hope they're treating you both right - I'm so sorry I couldn't make the rehersal, should have had that soak before hand
<Ms_Liralu> but then I'd be too tired today for the ceremony
<Paiza> The Amathalises have been quite gracious. Our families are old friends.
* Ms_Liralu gives Firrin a wistful look
<Ms_Liralu> I told you, my boy, I told hyou you were born for this, and look at you....
* Paiza smiles at that, looking happily at Firrin.
<Ms_Liralu> A beautiful noble wife!
<Firrin> :)
<Paiza> Oh, well, noble at any rate. Let's not get carried away. :)
<Firrin> Oh no, she's quite correct.
<Firrin> I'm very, very lucky.
<Ms_Liralu> You're goign to look so handsome
<Paiza> He's done such a good job in making this whole event amazing.
<Ms_Liralu> He should have people for that, shouldn't he?
<Paiza> Oh, of course, but he's been sure to give plenty of attention to detail.
<Paiza> I'm quite grateful.
<Firrin> I just want everything to come off well.
<Firrin> Without leaving it to chance
<Ms_Liralu> Of course, my boy.
<Ms_Liralu> You'll have to take care of him, make sure he knows he doens't have to work now.
<Firrin> I... will...
<Firrin> I'll need something to do, Mom.
* Ms_Liralu makes a grumpy kind of face
* Firrin pets her hand
<Firrin> It's not the same. Can you really imaging me with nothing to do?
<Paiza> If I may, while he certainly won't *have* to work, here in Thantopolis he'd be able to pursue whatever vocation he likes. Our nobles aren't exactly the idle rich, as it were.
<Firrin> See? I'll be happy.
* Ms_Liralu frowns a bit
<Ms_Liralu> Well, allright...
<Ms_Liralu> I am feeling a little tired, Firrin, they don't make the tea here as stong as I like. maybe I should go lie down
<Firrin> If you like, mom
* Firrin will wave for one of the staff
* Ms_Liralu reaches out a somewhat gnarled looking, shaky, hand to Paiza
<Ms_Liralu> It is so good to see you, dearie, I'm so looking foreward to havug a daughter in law!
<Paiza> (Just to check, was that like to take her hand, or like putting her hand on Paiza's...?)
<Ms_Liralu> (let's say putting it on top of hers for a squeeze)
<Paiza> I'm looking forward to having you and Firrin become a part of my family. I hope you're able to get plenty of rest for the ceremony.
<Fritz> Thank you, dearie
<Fritz> (lol)
<Ms_Liralu> Thank you, dearie
* Firrin will make sure her blanket is secure and all before she gets wheeled back to her room

Firrin has a spot of nerves beore the ceremony, but people reassure him

* Firrin is pacing in a hallway
* Molgrin is waiting nearby
<Firrin> Mol, you have the band, right?
<Molgrin> Hey... are you okay?
<Molgrin> Yes, I got it.
* Molgrin pats his pocket
<Molgrin> And the ribbon thing too.
* Molgrin pats his other pocket.
* Firrin takes a deep breath
<Firrin> okay
<Molgrin> Everything will go just fine.
<Firrin> I...
<Firrin> I want to be married already, I don't want to deal with all this D:
<Molgrin> I know.
* Molgrin comes over and puts his hands on your shoulders
<Firrin> Does my hair look alright?
* Firrin is tense
<Molgrin> You look perfect.
<Firrin> I scuffed my shoes. I'm an idiot, Mol
* Molgrin smiles slightly at that
<Firrin> They were *perfect*
<Molgrin> No one's gonna be looking at your shoes. but here...
* Molgrin will bend down and take a hanky (not the dressy one that's for show but just a regular one) from his pocket and give your shoes a little quick buff.
<Firrin> Mol I love you please don't make them worse D:
* Molgrin smiles up at you
<Molgrin> you can blame me if anyone is like "just look at those disgraceful shoes"
<Molgrin> but no one will
<Raveni> Firrin, breathe. We’re all here with you, to celebrate you and Paiza. We won’t let anything happen, ok? You’re going to be fine.
<Fritz> Only weirdos will be worrying about your feet :x
<Firrin> I know....
* Firrin starts to run his hands through his hair and then stops himself
<Raveni> Here, fiddle with this so you don’t muss your hair.
<Firrin> The staff let me know what some of the people my father invited form House Maranue are here after all...
* Raveni hands Firrin a little carved wooden cat.
<Fritz> Oh! That's good, right?
<Firrin> Oh - thank you...
* Firrin looks at the little cat, and squeezes it in his hand
<Molgrin> in just an hour or so it will be done and you can relax
<Firrin> and hour. just an hour....
<Norn> And this part has a script you get to follow. *And* the priestess will talk you through it.
<Raveni> Plus, I’ve got more cats if you need them.
* Firrin laughs nervously
* Raveni pulls three more little cats out of his dress pockets.
<Norn> Do you just carry around cat carvings?
<Raveni> …I was nervous about participating in the wedding last night and they just sort of happened.
* Norn smiles.
<Norn> That's, honestly, pretty adorable.
<Molgrin> ooh can I have one too?
<Norn> Though I'm sorry you've been nervous, of course.
<Firrin> You'll be fine. You look fabulous
<Firrin> I knew you could carry that off
* Raveni blushes and their tail wags slightly as they pass a little cat to Molgrin as well.
* Molgrin will tuck it into a pocket (hopefully a different one than the ring and ribbon ;)
<Firrin> you *all* look wonderful
<Molgrin> You'll be fine. We're all going to be fine. And anyway they'll mostly be looking at the bride, I bet :3
* Firrin nods
<Firrin> probably..
* Firrin says, maybe with a hint of disappointment
<Norn> Not that you're not looking very handsome as well.
<Firrin> she' going to be beautiful
* Molgrin nods
<Raveni> I don’t know, Firrin looks pretty incredible in that getup. I bet people won’t be able to take their eyes off of him either.
<Firrin> I want everyone to feel like they look good.
<Norn> Are you kidding? Look at all of us. You did great.
<Molgrin> Definitely.
* Firrin takes another breath
<Raveni> It’s your wedding day, you’re allowed to outshine the rest of the party. Though we do all look fantastic as well.
<Firrin> okay. Thank you
<Firrin> I think I'm okay.
<Molgrin> You can do this.
<Norn> We're here for you, and, truly, it's an honor.
* Raveni nods supportively.
<Fritz> YOu're doing great Fuirrin - you should have seen my brother at *his* wedding. Now *he* was a wreck :V
<Fritz> and it was a smaller affair!
<Firrin> ....thank you, that actually does help
* Firrin can hold it together better than a Marquess!
<Firrin> -----------
<Firrin> (The wedding does in fact come off perfectly, even if Firrin winds up giving Paiza a carved cat along with her ring once it gets untangled from the woven binding)
* Paiza will palm the cat with a bemused look at return it once they're back down the aisle.
<Norn> ----------

Mol's best man speech

* Molgrin gives his best man speech
<Molgrin> Firrin and I have been friends since we were little kids. He put up with getting mud and thorns on his good clothes just so I could drag him through some shrubs and underbrush to look at a particularly interesting bug, which wasn't something I could say about many people. And yet somehow he still seemed to like me, even though as you can see he values his clothing and likes to look presentable,
<Molgrin> even dashing if I may say so. For those of you who haven't had the privilege of meeting him yet, Firrin is the most diligent, thoughtful, and caring person that I know. When he decides to do something, he puts his entire heart into it, and doesn't give up, no matter the obstacles he might face. And that's why I feel sure that he and Paiza will be very fortunate together. She couldn't be
<Molgrin> luckier, because she's married a man who will walk through briars and mud just to make someone he cares about happy, and that is a truely rare thing.
* Firrin does blush much but seems a little more red in the face, and can't quite look Mol in the face
* Euphrastus pounds the floor with his cane and roars loudly in approval, having had just enough to drink.
<Norn> Here here!
* Paiza is now known as Galatea
* Molgrin is now known as Saiya
* Raveni applauds loudly.
<Fritz> Thank you so much, Mol :x
<Fritz> (BAH)
<Firrin> Thank you so much, Mol. And thank everyone for being here, and being part of this. We're both so deeply grateful.
* Ioana is now known as Molgrin
* Galatea will gather the wedding party at some point, perhaps between the wedding and the reception, or after the latter before people retire to their rooms.
<Galatea> (ack, ww)
* Norn is now known as Paiza
* Paiza will gather the wedding party at some point, perhaps between the wedding and the reception, or after the latter before people retire to their rooms.
<Paiza> I don't mean to hold people up, I know we're all quite tired after the day's excitement, but I just wanted to thank everyone for being here with us on this special day. Moreso, thank you all for being such kind and welcoming friends to Firrin and myself, and I hope you all know how welcome you will always be in our home.
<Paiza> I have something for each of you, a bit of Thantopolitan tradition. These are ancestral bone boxes, each with a coin inside. They're, well, memento mori, but also just mementos, to show you're a part of our family just as well.
<Molgrin> oh, thank you!

Fritz and Saiya get caught in an indiscretion!

* Saiya will of course dance with Fritz (probably some others too, to be polite, but definitely favouring him ;)
* Firrin is very happy with this but will also try danciing with other girls :V
* Saiya will get him back after he finishes dancing with some other girl
* Fritz is happy with the attention from Saiya, and will also dance with some other girls
<Saiya> Pst, come with me :D
<Fritz> Okay!
<Fritz> Where are we going?
<Saiya> It's a surprise! :D
* Fritz has had. a few celebratory drinks, say :V
* Saiya has certainly had a few as well
<Fritz> You look so pretty!
<Fritz> that pink looks better on you than anyone else :x
* Saiya will lead the way to a little grove a bit out of the way, shaded with trees and with a couple of elegant marble benches where people can sit
<Saiya> Oh, I was SO happy when they said it was to be pink, it's my FAVOURITE :)
<Saiya> you look very handsome as well!
<Fritz> Firrin said the aubergine would make my eyes look even more green - I didn't believe him but I think it does!
<Saiya> it's a beautiful shade on you :D he's really good at this, honestly
<Saiya> now, here....
* Saiya gets you to sit down on one of the benches
* Fritz sit
<Fritz> oooh
* Fritz pulls Saiya into his lap
* Saiya does so, wrapping her arms around his neck to give him a kiss
* Fritz is eager for makeouts, it seems so secluded here...
<Saiya> hmmm I do think this is fairly private... :3
* Saiya says innocently ^-^
<Fritz> ooooh....
* Fritz will let hands roam up under her dress
<Fritz> Saiya.... @_@
<Saiya> mm yes, Fritz...
* Molgrin is now known as Ioana
* Saiya is quite enthusiastic
* Fritz also, gloves off, even!
* Saiya will certainly be eager to get into a quite compromising position ;)
<Fritz> (Things can, uh, progress from there :V)
* Ioana will stroll into the glade with a group of other society ladies and be confronted with this sight
<Ioana> Fritz!!
<Fritz> !!!
* Fritz freezes
* Saiya squeaks in alarm and will try to rearrange her dress into some semblance of modesty
<Fritz> ahh
<Fritz> ahh
<Fritz> ahhhh.....
<Fritz> @_@
<Fritz> uh
<Fritz> ah
<Fritz> I
<Fritz> we
<Ioana> Make yourself presentable.
* Ioana says firmly.
* Fritz scrambles to do that, trying to find where his cravat went, and his gloves...
* Fritz went flushed to pale to differently red
<Ioana> (there is no doubt some murmuring and comments from the other guests, but they'll disperse, and Ioana will step a few feet away to give you a moment to compose yourself)
<Saiya>
<w> what should I do?
* Saiya asks Fritz worriedly
<Fritz> ....
<Fritz> um...
<Fritz> you can... probaly... excuse yourself.....
<Saiya> oh, all right....
* Saiya will give him a quick nervous kiss on the cheek and then hurry off, making some quick apology to Ioana that is cut off by a glare.
<Fritz> Mother!
<Ioana> Fritz, I would ask what you were thinking, but that is not in question I suppose. Instead I'll ask what you intend to do about it.
<Fritz> ....about what...part?
<Fritz> D:
<Fritz> I'm so sorry, I, we, jsut got carried away and there was no one here
<Ioana> It was thoughtless of you, but it's her reputation that will suffer the most.
* Fritz hangs his head
<Fritz> well - at least people can say things about her that are true, then. She won't care about that.
* Ioana sighs, looking more disappointed than angry now
<Ioana> I'm sure things will smooth over eventually, especially once you leave for Shom.
* Saiya is now known as Molgrin
<Fritz> :/
<Fritz> I.... I suppose :(
* Fritz looks away, blinking
<Ioana> :/
<Ioana> I know you like her, Fritz. But surely this was never going to be a serious relationship.
<Fritz> No, but....
<Fritz> We like each other :(
<Fritz> is it...
<Fritz> will it really be so bad?  :(
<Ioana> It doesn't look good, of course. People will talk about her, and probably bring up whatever rumours were already circulating about her past or her family connections or anything else that they can think of.
<Fritz> :( :(
<Fritz> I should...
<Fritz> No, I don't know what to do :(
* Ioana considers it for a moment
<Fritz> I don't want her to feel bad, or like I sent her away or like I don't want to see her or I'm mad...
* Fritz sniffs
<Fritz> this is all my fault :(
<Ioana> Well, it seemed like she was quite at fault as well.
<Ioana> At least, that the affair was a mutual matter >.>
* Fritz goes red again
<Ioana> It's understandable to have a youthful indiscretion. It will blow over, I'm sure, with time and distance.
<Fritz> Should I make sure she's alright? or will that make it worse? :(
<Ioana> I should think keeping some distance is best for now.
<Fritz> I shoud apologize to Firrin. and then go.... hide in my room :(
* Ioana looks sympathetic, if still unhappy
<Ioana> You know, your brother is here. Maybe he would have some ... better insights than I do, into what you might do now.
* Fritz nods
* Paiza is now known as Galatea
<Fritz> okay...
<Fritz> I'm sorry :(
<Ioana> I will do my best to calm things down as far as gossip goes, but I don't know how successful I will be.
<Fritz> I know our family has had quite enough troubles :(
* Ioana gives a little faint smile at that
<Ioana> Oh Fritz... this is not so bad as all that. It's going to cause a few rumours but nothing we can't deal with.
* Molgrin is now known as Saiya
<Fritz> ...alright. :(
* Fritz will go an apologize to Firrin, and his brother, and maybe ask for advice :<

Norn and Raveni make plans about their own lives

* Norn will approach Raveni with some glasses of champagne at some point during the reception, presumably after the meal during dancing etc.
<Norn> Another drink?
<Raveni> You read my mind.
* Norn hands over a glass.
* Raveni takes it and gives Norn a kiss on the cheek.
<Norn> Now that our duties to the happy couple are largely discharged, I was hoping to ask you something.
<Raveni> Oh?
<Norn> I don't want to overstep, and I know you're still dealing with the circumstances with your grandfather, but, well...
<Norn> Lord Callais has some business he'd like me to attend to in Grimfarr, and it occurred to me neither one of us has ever done the grand tour of the Confederacy.
* Raveni ‘s eyes widen
<Norn> I thought we could take the river cruise up to Grimfarr, ride north to Issenvik, then portal back to Thantopolis and come down the coast. Maybe visit Saiya and her brothers in Nachtur, and I could show you Vanilorra...
<Norn> I know that's a lot of time, uh, together, and I didn't want to presume anything, but, if you're interested...
<Norn> Sorry, I find I'm trailing off quite a bit here.
* Raveni gets a little teary.
<Raveni> Norn, I—I would love that.
<Raveni> The chance to travel… you know I’ve always wanted that. And to do it with you? It’s a dream come true.
<Norn> I had hoped it would meet with your approval.
* Norn smiles sheepishly.
* Raveni draws him in for a slow kiss.
<Raveni> Of course it does, you silly bear.
<Raveni> I would go anywhere with you.
* Norn grins.
<Norn> Well, perhaps wait and see after you've travelled with me. I'm told I snore. ;)
<Raveni> Oh, well, if you SNORE that’s another thing.
* Raveni pretends to start to walk off.
<Norn> I suppose I can find a cantrip or something for it...Silence isn't that hard to learn, I believe.
* Raveni loses composure with his playacting and laughs.
* Norn laughs along as well.
<Raveni> You’re very sweet, but don’t worry about it in this case. I’m a famously heavy sleeper — you’re probably going to have to tie my unconscious body to a horse every morning before I wake up.
<Norn> I'm sure I can think of ways to wake you.
<Raveni> Oh, can you now?
* Raveni purrs..
<Norn> Care for a dance?
* Norn asks innocently.
<Raveni> Always.
* Molgrin is now known as Ioana
* Saiya is now known as Molgrin
* Paiza is now known as Galatea
* Molgrin is now known as Saiya

Galatea reassures Saiya

* Saiya will go off somewhere to hide so she doesn't have to face people right now
<Galatea> (Out on the grounds, inside, ?)
<Ioana> (let's say inside)
* Galatea will have wandered around the grounds and into wherever Saiya is hiding.
<Galatea> Oh, I'm sorry, Saiya, I didn't mean to intrude.
* Galatea seeing Saiya presumably not looking too happy.
<Saiya> oh! it's ... it's all right, don't worry
<Galatea> Is something the matter?
* Saiya wipes her eyes with her hands
<Saiya> It's just.... Fritz and I were in the garden and uhhh.... things were getting a bit carried away, until his mother and probably half of the other ladies here walked in on us.
<Galatea> Oh gods...
<Galatea> What happened?
* Galatea will produce a handkerchief and offer it to Saiya.
* Saiya takes it, blowing her nose
<Saiya> Well, she yelled a bit, and then Fritz said I ought to leave, so I did, and I tried to make an apology to her but she just GLARED at me
* Galatea frowns.
<Galatea> She can be a bit severe. I'm really sorry, Saiya, that must have been awful, and quite the shock.
* Saiya sniffles
<Saiya> It's just.... now I'm sure everyone will say it's my fault >.>
<Saiya> that I ... seduced him or whatever nonsense...
<Galatea> Why would they say that? I mean, it takes two people to, um, you know.
* Galatea takes Saiya's hand.
<Galatea> And if anyone dares to say anything of the sort within my earshot, I shall heartily disabuse them of such nonsense.
<Saiya> Oh, well, because it's always worse for girls, isn't it? and because he's noble and I'm not...
<Galatea> That's just foolish. Your family is every bit as accomplished as many older ones, and in this century no less.
<Galatea> And I'm sure you'll be just the same.
* Saiya dabs at her eyes some more
<Saiya> You're such a good friend, Galatea...
<Galatea> I'm sure, at some party in the future, I'll be able to say, "Oh, *the* Saiya Harrowden? Why, yes, I've known her for ages, a dear friend, even after she got so famous."
* Galatea blushes and smiles.
* Saiya hugs you
<Galatea> I haven't had a lot of friends, so I think it behooves me to be as good as I can to the ones I've found.
* Galatea hugs back.
* Norn is now known as Paiza

Galatea and Macen make plans to visit in the future, and see how things go

* Ms_Liralu is now known as Macen
* Macen will ask Galatea to dance during the reception (up to you if before or after she talks to Saiya)
* Galatea will happily accept a dance.
<Macen> oh, good, thanks
* Galatea gives him an inquiring look.
<Macen> Mhireen was giving me so much shit for being antisocial so, uh, yeah, thanks
<Macen> You look pretty
* Galatea blushes.
<Galatea> Thank you. You look very handsome.
<Galatea> And you should tell your brother that he can be plenty social enough for the both of you.
<Macen> I have btu he never listens to me
<Galatea> If you'd like, after this we could go take a walk around the grounds. You'd still be 'being social', but without all these people about.
<Macen> is that... I mean.... yeha, let's do that
* Galatea smiles and will finish the dance with Macen, then walk out into the grounds with him.
* Macen seems mayeb a bit hyper vigillant iuntil we actauly get away from people, and rthen will relax
<Galatea> You know, if you wanted to get away from...everything, for a bit, you could come visit later in the year. My parents are usually fairly busy with their work, and a bit out of practice with the social scene. Plus, Mythragal is the smallest of the grand cities.
<Macen> That sounds nice
<Galatea> I know I'm supposed to be scheming on the marriage mart and all, but, truly, it would just be nice to spend time with a friend.
* Macen pauses at that, then nods and will keep gonig
<Macen> Okay...
<Galatea> Sorry, was that awkward?
<Galatea> I just wanted to reassure I didn't have, um, designs or what have you. >.>
<Galatea> Not that I *don't* like you!
<Galatea> Rather, er....
<Galatea> Sorry, I am...not well-versed in all this.
<Macen> ...
<Macen> Me either
* Galatea nods and smiles awkwardly.
<Macen> My family is.... messy.
<Galatea> I've gotten that impression.
<Macen> And, I like you
* Galatea smiles and blushes again.
<Galatea> I'd *hoped* I'd gotten that impression.
<Galatea> I don't want to be a further stress, though.
<Macen> I just don't want to dump that mess on anyone else
<Galatea> Is it so bad as all that?
* Galatea asks genuinely.
<Macen> I don't know. It might just be me, who's a mess.
<Macen> I'd like to visit, though
<Galatea> Well, messes aren't so bad, and at least you'd have some time for yourself.
<Macen> maybe. I can plan where I'm going to build my tower.
* Galatea grins.
<Galatea> We have a lot of excellent tower architects in Mythragal. It *is* a city of mages.
<Macen> And we can see...maybe... if its too messy.

Fritz and Saiya sneak out for farewells, and make plans to stay in touch

* Fritz will get one of the servants to sens Saiya a note asking her to meet him in the gardens late at night, and then hope she will show up :x
* Saiya will show up, but a bit cautiously
* Saiya looks around very carefully this time ;p
<Fritz> Oh, you came!
* Fritz says and then also looks around, and then continues in a quieter voice
<Fritz> I just.... I wanted to say... I'm sorry
<Saiya> I am too. I shouldn't have ...
<Fritz> we wereboth foolish, maybe but...
<Fritz> still
* Saiya sniffles slightly
<Saiya> What... what will happen now?
<Fritz> I'm very not allowed to see you any more. I'm sorry.
<Saiya> No!
<Saiya> I'm not going to give up on you as easily as this!
<Saiya> ... I mean.... unless it's your choice....
* Saiya says hesitantly, realizing maybe he's just trying to be polite and let her down easily
<Fritz> No! My motheer says it will just all be over once I go to Shom, which *is
* soon enough now...
<Fritz> but that's only happening because of you!
<Fritz> So... that's worse
<Saiya> ...oh....
<Fritz> Can i write to you?
* Saiya nods
<Saiya> Yes, and I'll write to you too
<Saiya> and I can come visit.... maybe... and it won't be so long as all that, I'm sure...
* Saiya tries to smile but it falters a little
* Fritz smiles at that
<Fritz> I'd liek that
<Fritz> if you can...
<Saiya> Fritz... I love you.
<Fritz> Saiya....
* Fritz will pull her to him
* Saiya hugs you tightly
<Saiya> I know it will all work out somehow... someday.
<Fritz> I just want you to be okay now :(
<Saiya> oh I'm okay! nothing anyone says can bother me, really :p
* Fritz hugs her a little tighter
