Brekke and Frank move quietly together among the crowd, watching, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Frank, uncomfortable in his get-up, can't help but admire Brekke quietly.

Gerd has Connor on a Shoulder. "Okay. This outfit is rocking"

"Don't let it rock your socks off, or your shoes will get confused!" He remarks from his perch.

Dagmar made sure Connor got a Rivervale tabard, its heraldry reflecting the water and green hills of home.

Sylvi's wearing her emissary sash over her gown. Kerri adjusts it once, but then avoids fussing at her.

Vashti got Emma into a dress - a dainty thing of pink taffeta, organza and floral embroidery. The pooka even combed her fluffy grey hair. But Vasht did NOT get the cajun possum into a pair of shoes. "Oh, exactly who I was looking for! I thought you'd never come! You have an important job!" She fusses up at Connor.

Kerri does get into a chat about hors d'oeuvres with a boggan, but only briefly so she doesn't make Olgar feel abandoned.

"I do? Is this being a test-taster, because I'm GOOD at that..."

He looks to Gerd for permission, as he lost sight of Dagmar for the moment.

Kerri at first finds resentance from the boggans, but when said boggan realizes she knows what she's talking about... suddenly happy to talk shop

Gerd nods "Okay. Have fun" And lets him down

"MORE important, cher." She hands him a little red flag from her basket. It is printed with a silver lion.

well after pooka pooka talk and gift

"A liam flag?" He gives it a little wave.

"Ha" A grin

"You must wave this FURIOUSLY, oui? And shout "Laissez le bon temps rouler!"

A little pooka kitten girl in IMPERIOUS gown walks by, throwing flower petals into a path, the petals are silver and red. She's heading to the garden.

He nods solemnly. "When should I yell?" Taking this very seriously!

"I wouldn't shout when Siv appears..."

"You wouldn't, so I should." He interprets, nodding.

Gerd smiles at Emma "Thanks. he loves it"

"Bon! Now, do you think that shady blue character could be trusted with a flag?" She nods at Gerd.

Sylvi's very like an echo of her mother, hobnobbing with various courtiers.

"She's pretty shady. But she can wave!"

A grin up at Gerd.

Zara, in her spider-silk, is fussing with Earl's ascot.

Connor starts to shout over, but then claps a hand over his mouth and just waves to Zara with his free hand.

"Welllll.... peut être." Emma holds out a flag for Gerd.

Vigorously.

It may fall off.

Zara smiles and bows when she spots Connor.

Gerd takes it

Whew! He bows back, and surreptitiously rubs his arm.

Earl says "You look gorgeous," As his ascot is played with

Then smiles as she bows, and the artist bows to Connor too

Isis moves out towards the garden... and behind her, Enri , a poodle boy comes out with a tiny horn , which toots. It's a TEEENY French horn

"And allonsy!" Emma swans off to find more flagbearers.

Piper rejoins the Rivervale troop, not wanting to stray too far from the familiar in this den of sidhe.... a pleasant den, though, she is willing to admit. And so nicely decorated!

"Oh!" Finding a flag in her hand, she gives it a little wave and a bemused smile as the pooka bumbles past.

Sir Magnus and Sir Bachdion talk quietly over drinks and notice the movement of some of the young ones

Several Fiona NOT local have shown up too. About half sidhe, but more of other kiths. This is an event that honors House Fiona (And could turn into a party). One Fiona girl talks to Sylvi amiably

Frank and August might have a private chat, liam style, when he's not next to his wife

Sylvi chats with the Fiona girl, and she waves over Piper, a gentle invitation to join them.

Bachdion moves to the center area, and nods to Innish, who nods back. The Fiona satyr knight says "Ladies and gents, and most especially the new Fiona to be, Siv, please, the Garden is ready and the perfect stage for the Oath taking is ready!"

Siv comes into view, her white PIrate Queen outfit perhaps showing a bit more than mom and dad might like, but she's worn less, and it looks good on her

Brekke's eyebrows nearly leap over her horns at the sight of Siv's outfit.

Kerri covers her mouth briefly, then smiles with encouragement.

Dagmar waves her flag!

Siv blushes
