“Oh.Right.”
“Yeah, moving around with knives and hot food gives a certain body awareness.”
He nodded.“That I can understand.So, you don’t think he’s the one?”
“He is not for me.My people know when we met the one, similar to the Bennari.We just know.”She smiled.“Now, I am going to return to the buffet.Smacking national treasures builds an appetite.”
She headed off to the buffet as the evening continued, building to the end of the year and the beginning of the next.Worro and Keera were close, and Keera looked gorgeous and delicate in the dress Khassi had made.Hever and Krix were more animated, but Hever tried to dance with the dancer who was rocking and moving rhythmically for her last hour.The beads clashed and shivered in the shoulder-to-ankle dress, sashed with a bright wave of shimmering metal around her hips.She danced with Hever, and Worro urged Keera to join.So, the two brides began to dance as the music changed tempo, and the Sethir gathered and began to toss gold coins around the feet of the dancers.
Lalli watched the crown prince of the Sethir tossing a handful of gold at the feet of the ladies who were measuring the stars with their arms and stepping carefully to give the dancer a break.
When they finished the songs, the men and ladies of the Sethir applauded, and the brides helped the dancer collect the coins.
The coins were stored, and the dancer continued until Hever stared up at the stars with her husband, and he held her in his arms.The gathering counted down, and then Lalli watched Breena lift her arms to the sky as fireworks sparked, and she sent tendrils of snow and magical glitter through the air and around the happy couples.
It was a glorious end to an enchanting night.

Hever smiled as Krixcarried her up to their new bedroom.“The party was glorious.It was far better than it had a right to be.”
He smiled.“They came together for you.You look spectacular.”
“Thank you.You look stunning yourself.”They were dressed in the same colours, and it made her so happy.
“Keera and Worro look so happy.I aspire to that level of relaxed smugness.”She leaned her head against him, her wings in snug.
“As do I.”He smiled and set her on her feet at the foot of their bed.“Now, where to start?”
She grinned and slid her hands along the closure of his tunic, pushing the fabric aside to kiss his chest.
Krix murmured, “That is a great place to start.”
Hever laughed and eased his shirt from his shoulders.She removed the hand jewellery and the necklace, setting them on the bedside table before she reached for the belt that held the robes together.Krix took over, and she was naked in three minutes.After that, things slowed down, but they very thoroughly celebrated their union.
