Lion Head Mesa not the same without you here [wp]

Set any time during the party, in the main party area <3

Aquene was admittedly excited to be leading the expedition to Akashingo. She had heard of the Mesa extensively, and yet never set paws there herself until this moment. She had left the kids under @Towhee’s watchful eyes. Weddings were such a joyous occasion, even if Mereo did not hold them with such pomp and circumstance. It was the way of the soldier to do so, Aquene was aware, but it was nice to take time to enjoy and celebrate the unions that were brought together.

It also felt like quite the event for the Matrona to attend... more civilian. She could only imagine Germanicus' discomfort if he had gone in her stead to this festival of sorts... the idea almost made her chuckle.
 
She remained at the party for some time, wishing in that moment that her husband might have been able to join her… time away from the children, away from many of the responsibilities that Mereo had brought… but alas, his absence due to the mission that Germanicus had set him on echoed in her heart. It had caused her to remain at the edges of the dancefloor, open to idle talk and feasting but partaking less in the movements that lingered.
