Hearing Dee admit that Dwin's guess was true, left her with a bit of mixed emotions. On one hand - she was glad for her sister. On the other - she would have preferred it being a joke. Not that she envied her sister's happiness or disapproved of her life choices or, well, she could come up with three and twenty reasons why. The most important thing was that this revelation meant that they were even further from childhood and happy and carefree youth than the last time they had met each other. It happened too fast. Marriage and kids happened to old people only. They were not old yet, right? Right?
"Wow - congratulations, though if he is just beginning to woo you and have not made a serious offer yet, then maybe it is too early?" she half-asked/half-stated. Dwin had a vague impression that things in Moonglow were run differently than in Brecheliant, which was best characterized as a liberal democracy with elements of anarchy. "Okay, but I hope he does understand that he has to fulfill not only the rules and regulations of your current home, but he has to meet the criteria of Brecheliant too?" she said with a sly look in her eyes. "It is just not asking mom and dad, if they approve - because they will never say "no", bu-u-u-u-ut he has to single-handedly bring here no less than three moose, prove to be equal with mom in story-telling and do at least three brave feats," she listed everything that came to her mind and found it very entertaining.
"And the final and most important test is him to keep up with Frolic and not lose sight of her. 'cause us - Blackthorn kids - are none like others. You are the sweet exception of the Redleaf heritage, but 90% of the rest of your family is simply nuts. Expect your kids to have that streak too!" she exhaled, feeling that she had rambled enough, but made her point. She hoped, of course, that Dee would understand the joke in it and that she did not have to torment her man to get to do it all, but have him get to know his bride's side of the family would earn him a lot of good points.
