amongst the chatter and sway of bodies velia caught a glimpse of the beacon that was solharr, his presence not easily missed even in the company of commotion. she answered his invitation with quick steps and a mirthful smile, slipping alongside others with soft apologies for every brush against them she might have caused. 

when she reached the man there was nothing but joy to be found in her eyes, a warmth even the night could not steal away radiating off of her in waves. "you have been wed," she stated with cheer, tail swaying to a gentle beat. "this is a happy day!"

marriage was not a thing of her home village, and until today she had not known of it's delight. never before had she thought of such a thing for herself but now she wondered, perhaps selfishly, if she might one day have a wedding of her own.
