There's a while, yet, before the wedding

Comments

Isabel's fuss has indeed started, but this is Isabel...and it's a wedding. "I'm so happy for you!" She told her future sister-in-law, the future part not being very far away.

Maria comes in behind her, with a grin.

"How're you feeling?"

[faithful_slayer]

Faith beams at both of them.

"Thank you, Isabel. I'm...fine. Excited." She laughs, quietly. "Very excited. Fluttery and girly."

[alien_isabel]

"I never thought I'd be happy that Max was getting married. But I was wrong. I'm very happy right now." She admitted. She glanced at Maria, at Faith, down at her own hand. "God this is so weird."

[herbal_waitress]

"All of us settled down", Maria agrees with a contented smile. "Weird, but... really good."

[faithful_slayer]

"It's your own fault, Is," Faith reminds her. "Or have you forgotten trying to pimp your brother out to me before I even met him?"

[alien_isabel]

"It isn't my fault. Really it's not. I didn't do anything...okay so I did, but that was only because I wanted him to get over Liz, not becuase I wanted him to get married and fall in love with you. But I'm glad he did."

[faithful_slayer]

Faith laughs. "Thanks. I kinda am too. Never thought it'd happen, though. Hell, I'm 29 years old, I never thought I'd still be alive by this point. Gotta say, I'll take this over demon slime anyday."

[herbal_waitress]

"I think anyone would", Maria puts in, pulling a face.

[alien_isabel]

"I'd like to think my brother is quite a few steps above Demon Slime." Isabel commented. She had news of her own but definitely wanted it to wait til after the wedding, not wanting to steal any of Faith's thunder. But it was hard not to. "So...Queen of Antar...how does it feel?"

[faithful_slayer]

"Your brother is quite a few steps over everything," Faith says, firmly, and then laughs a little, showing her first sign of nerves. "Uhm. Queen will take getting used to. But...not in a bad way. And actually...on that subject, Is, would you do me a little favor?"

[alien_isabel]

"I'll give you a tentative yes on that. I don't know if I trust you enough to just say yes I'll do something for you without knowing ahead of time what it is." She laughs a little, shaking her head. "What's the favor?"

[faithful_slayer]

"Make me blue?" Faith says, quietly, oddly serious. "Like Max?"

[alien_isabel]

"You want to be blue?" Isabel blinks a little, understanding the thought but...on her wedding day?

"Now? Before you get married?"

[faithful_slayer]

"Yeah. Now. I want...I don't know how to put this. But I want to be blue when I marry him. I want him to know...I want everybody to know...that this really is forever. That I'm not gonna change my mind or freak out or...I love this place, y'know? I love Max, but not just Max, I love all of it, and...this is home. And I just..."

She trails off, gesturing helplessly.

"...make me blue?"

[herbal_waitress]

Maria just smiles quietly.

"I know exactly how you feel."
