Redhawk Caldera Webster's Dictionary defines 'wedding' as the fusing of two metals with a hot torch.

Even though he'd tried to only encourage her to make her own decisions, it seemed as though the confidence that Lilitu had had on her decision dissipated easily. It's up to you, Lilitu. None of us will think badly of you for whatever you choose. He spoke confidently, a rare thing for Eljay to do when he spoke in the name of others; but he knew Teya and Maia well enough to know that they wouldn't think badly of Lilitu for choosing her own path. Just because they'd be sad if she left, it didn't mean they thought it best that she stay.

Eljay frowned, not sure how to fix this situation, but thankfully Teya stepped in with words of encouragement, telling her to think on it for a bit. Eljay nodded his head to all of what Teya said. He agreed with every single word, and he knew he couldn't have said it any better himself. Teya's right — we'll be here, and you can take however much time you'd like on making the decision. Eljay smiled softly at Lilitu, hoping that he could encourage her to think what she really wanted. He knew making decisions could be difficult; he'd faced choices in his own life that had not been easy. In his experience, though, whenever the decision was finally made, it was always a relief.
