Jennette gasps with relief as her voice shifts to a normal range, "oh that was embarrassing." She whispers to Sparrow as they walk away leaving Magnus and Claire to the mobs that are congratulating them.

A soft laugh and Sparrow boops Jennette's nose. "I thought you sounded wonderful."

"you're still blonde, but less so, maybe it is wearing off for you too." Blushing, "Though you look lovely in gold, I do like the red better I am thinking."

"Well, that's a lucky thing for me!" She reaches for Jenn's hand.

Jenns' eyes SHINE as her hand is taken and she lifts it, not to pull away, but to bring Sparrow's knuckles up so she can kiss them, "Ha, for a moment, I was worried I would be stuck being the 'man' in our relationship, and since you aren ot so interested in those..."

Sparrow blushes and smiles at the kiss, feathers fluffing out in contentment. "Nobody would mistake you for that..."

"Merci," And she finds a niche under the wing at at her lover's side, "I really do love the dress. then again, though it was obviously not her usual style, Claire's was nice too. It is good for one day for us all to be as colorful and beautiful as the garden's flowers, non?"

"I think Beltaine might be my favorite, yes. Beauty if life." Her wing curls a bit, cocooning the other sidhe. Her feathers are soft as clouds.

Happy sigh from the Beaumayn, "I think perhaps today, Love Conquers all won out. Monseiur magnus certainly brought his best, well, the question it self was awkward, but such a lovely song choice."

"Magnus, oh, he gets in his own way sometimes... but he really does love her. The idiot."

A bell like laughter, "He is the dumbest smart man I know, forgive me for saying so of your brother."

An echoing giggle. "He is. Love him so."

"Fortunately, he's got a good wife on the way who can keep him straight I think" they move along, "And she needs him too. Claire doesn't say it, but she likes a challenge sometimes, and he provides those."

"Well, he's challenged... sorry, yes, I razz. Sibling's duty." She twines her fingers in with Jenn's as they walk. "I like Claire. It will be interesting to have an in-law!"

"True, mmm an Ailil is about to become a truthbranch. I wonder how sir August feels of that?" A soft squeeze in return, and..noises from the bushes nearby?

"Well, I sure hope he approves."

She glances towards the bushes, "I think, in a time, our dragon will be tested... and when she ..if she passes it, no one will be able to deny her fidelity. But it will be a challenge she does NOT like."

"That sounded terribly prescient..." An idle gaze at the shrubbery. "Fiona hold."

"oh" A blush, "of course.' A whisper, "Does no one fear rashes from plant life in this hold?"

Another burst of giggles. "Fiona are fearless!"

A SNORT that she covers

"Now, see, sensible, boring Liam... we have nice fluffy beds."

"I think..." A raised brow, and a tap, as she quiets, "I think that's a Gwydion tabbard"

"Well.... good."

"I thought she'd sworn off..." An apologetic look, "maybe I'm part boggan. We should move on."

"I think it might be good to have some... no strings fun."

"Oui...anything to distract, but I thought she had..ah, signed on with the Count."

"And, well, maybe it's good to have some strings, too..." Wistful, and a little squeeze of her hand.

"She has? Well."

"I am not sure, i had only heard..." A smile at the squeeze back, "See, it's this place. I am becoming a voyeur." Overplayed shock at herself

"I think... I'll miss her, I like her, but she might benefit from somewhere new. And she would do well serving at a county level."

"might do us some good too... if so. I wonder if her brother is going as well? IF She is going , of course"

"Good question..."

"He's seen to it to represent the Unseelie. A kind of special reeve."

"Yes, so if he leaves, mmm"

"The unseelie may feel voiceless."

"Mmm my hosue like yours, is not very Unseelie friendly." She pauses, "mm"

"It's not. But... but there are unseelie who aren't evil."

"True. " A nod

"That sits oddly on my stomach. But... it's true. So. We need to act honorably, even if they disregard honor."

"yes, we don't hodl onto honor for their sake but for the sake of ourselves and the Dreaming"

"Right!"

"Losing hold of honor is like losing yourself. I'm amazed I lasted so long without the bonds of my House oath. I think I would have fallen apart if I'd waited much longer."

A kiss, this time on the cheek, "You have always been stronger than you know, Sparrow. this is your blindspot."

A blush and a shiver of her wings. "I'm in a much better place now."

"I know," A whisper , kind but also inviting, "so am I...beneath your wings"

A gentle kiss on her forehead. "So you are."

A blush, then "You know, there are many find bed rooms here in the hold that one does not have to worry about nettles... A ..brief stop, and we ccan come out again?"

"I.... think we could. And on our own, too, no satyrs compelling."
