Gem I smiled as I finished talking knowing that Auraka thought I was too good for him. At the preiss instruction I smiled as he lifted the pretty viel from my face and I kissed him back as happily as he did for me. I ignored the cheering, knowing that now my father would understand how much I loved this man. There would not be anything bad coming from him, as olong as Auraka's side did nothing to annoy him. "No, you're too good for me," I corrected him. I smled up at him, completely happy at the moment. There were too many faces here though for me to get used to. More than half of the people that had come for Auraka I knew not. There were only a few familiar faces. I knew Naina was there somewhere.

Audrey pushed her way though the crowd, becoming the first person to congratulate them. She was dragging Naina behind her and smiled brightly. "Hello!" she said with a bright wave before giving Auraka a hug "congrats! Oh and your not really leaving us are you?" Auraka blinked slowly, taking in the young woman before him. Her black hair, black dress and toe nails in bit by bit. "Thank you, and I'm not sure yet.." he said each word slowly, still a little shocked by the hug. He gave Gem's hand a gentle squease and pulled a smile onto his face. "Oh thats to bad.." she continued to chatter along.

Naina I laughed and hugged my friend. "I knew General Hawksong was related to you. How could I have served with him and not notice the resemblence?" "Naina..." I said warningly. "I'm not sure how safe he is here, so can please avoid that topic?" She laughed. "All right but you should have told me that he was coming so I had some warning!" I sighed. "Won't do it to you again."

He nodded slightly and kissed Gem's cheek, murmering quietly that he was going to go speak to her father. He patted her hand, nodding to the girls and wondered off to look for him. He wondered what the man thought of him, or at least had heard of him. Rumours, he heard, could be powerful things. At last spotting him, he grabbed to beers and headed over handing one to him. "Drink General?" he asked offering the glass.

General Zelphar Hawksong
I smiled as I watched my daughter throughout the whole ceremony. It was fairly clear to me that she loved this other guy. Maybe just maybe I could put aside the bad stuff between my own nation and his for just one day.
Too bad I'd seen Naina. I knew what that meant, she was as formal as any other person in the Army, which meant she had turned on us. Not that I'd hold it against her, but I would have to tell the Feild Marshall when I left for home. That saddened me that she had done this.
"Oh, yes thanks. Auraka is it?"

Auraka nodded slightly and held out a hand. "Yes, thats me," he said and paused, unsure how to fill the awkard silence. "Gem didn't tell me you were going to be here today..." he said after a moment "if I had of known, I wouldn't of invited a lot of these...my boys." He said the words in an odd kind of way, as if they were all his family. In a way they were, they all stuck up for there own. "So you can have my apolgises for that," he said and took a sip of his beer.

Zelphar I sighed. "That makes two of us who did not know the other was who they were. She's told me of you of course, but somehow I did not think for a second that you were the same man that we all know about over in Italy." I grimaced. "Not pleasent what they say of you over there, so I would be careful if I were you if you came over there for a holiday or something."
I would not say what things had been told about him, there was no point to darken things on a day like this.

Auraka paused, wondering what was said about him over there. "The same could be said about you sir," he said. He was using polite terms despite being the same rank as the man. He sensed the man didn't want to speak of such things and decided to try and take the topic elsewhere. "So, how long are you here for?" he asked watching the people and saw Audrey's tootoo like dress popping in and out of the people.

Zelphar Hawksong "It would not surprise me that things are said here about me." I sighed. "Though I wanted to be able to spend a few days with my only remaining daughter, I cant because I could only get four days off. Too much going on back home, So I'll be flying home again in the morning. Pity really."
It did give me a bit of disappointment, I had missed my daughter. "I know my daughter well enough to know you'll look after her."

He nodded, hearing the slight sadness behind the words and smiled slightly. "I would start a war if she asked me to sir," he said and chuckled as he heard what he said. "Will you come with the kids are born?" he asked, wanting them to have grandparents in there life. "You will always be welcome in our house," he added, wanting him to be welcome whenever he came to visit his only daughter.

Zelphar I smiled at him. "Of course I will. Just get her to give me a few days notice so i can get over here before they come." I chuckled. "And thank you, I am glad there is at least one place I am safe here. The Generals over here are so much younger than those over there, I'm likely twice your age." I chuckled. "I'm goign to miss her when I head off in the morning."

He found himself warming to the man, despite the fact that he had most likely ordered the deaths of thousands of his men. "Some of them," he agreed "but I am the youngest of them all." His eyes roamed the crowd for General Morris, the father like figure of his life, but wasn't suprised to not see him. He was still grieving, he had just lost his son.

Zelphar "I know a lot of the faces here. I've fought against a lot of you, but getting older now, so I might retire soon. Not that it will be for some time yet." I sighed heavily. "I thought they must be, I'm a lot older than most of the boys you've got here today." I smiled though as I saw my daughter come back over to him. "Auraka, I think its time for us to dance."

Auraka excused himself, taking Gem's hand and lead her towards the floor and smiled, resting a hand in hers and one of her hip and led her gracefully in the dance. "I like your dad," he said after a moment "he seems like a nice guy." He looked down at her and smiled slightly, "He loves you dearly, so I guess thats what i mean," he said with a smile "and he says he wants to know the kids, so another good tick." He paused, though still dancing. "Why didnt you tell me?"

Gem "It would not have been something I thought you would want to know. And now is not really the time for that." There was a long story involved. I smiled at him though as we started to dance. "I'll tell you when we get home," I promised him.
