Blossoms seem even more plentiful than before!

"Oh, fie... My Poet, always finding the words..."

So she responds with another kiss!

Indeed... the flowers may now reach down the hallway, alerting the boggans of something new afoot!

OH yes... it is Valentine's night, and tthe hold was already primed.

YUP

Iowa wild flowers mix among the lilies

black-eyed susans and tiger lilies and sunflowers?

Oh, yes, though their colors are soft, even before he met Zara, Earl was less Garish than his kin

part of why she was drawn

A moth flutters about happily near the dim light sources.. too estatic to stay nestled anymore

And in the painting, Zara's bride'smaids give polite applause and commentary dry and delighted, but they are happy for her

"Oh! Oh, I promised Miriam a photo of the fabric..."

"Oh yes.. you must" He says

"Mayhaps one of us, too. Mine sister hath dressed thee well."

"Yes, she ..was quitte insistant actually" He glances up at the moth "But thank you" and he moves before the cloth

the moth seems to spin, then flutters BEHIND Zara and a moment later "If only you had a seamstress to tailor the picture of BOTH of you"

"Oh, sister! Would you?"

"Nay, tis but a plan to steal your device" she extends her hand for camera or phone with camera

Zara finds her phone to give to Vashti.

Vashti might be a pooka, but there will be no pranks in the picture taking! She will take care to get it right, taking pictures of Earl and Zara holding hands. Earl and Zara in each other's arms. Earl and Zara kissing .. whoops. Earl apparently couldn't help himself on that last

Zara didn't object!

They might forget photos are being taken.

Just a bit!

The pictures show a dark-haired girl and a lanky farm boy, but they're no less in love for that.

And a raven sings happily

(Fade for now to Oathed bliss)
