There is a wedding on the planet. You may know this because you were invited to this wedding by this little guy and it's a lovely ceremony! You can watch the couple get married, wether you know them or not, the whole fleet was invited.Even if they don't know you either.

Noctis was in all black and he was beside himself, the time had finally come and after seeing his beautiful bride he couldn't look away. The music was soft yet appropriate. Luna was beaming, holding onto Shiro's arm down the aisle until they were together and holding hands. The vows went on as if in another room. Noctis couldn't quite focus on them, he was fighting getting sucked into Luna's orbit and just kissing her prematurely. Distantly he heard his cue to repeat after the offician and he recited his vows word for word. Umbra had their rings ready for them. When he put Luna's on her finger he felt a tear spill down his cheek. He couldn't stop smiling. The officiant led Luna then and Noctis hung on every word. Her voice was melodic and soft. Then he had a ring on his finger and he felt himself crying again. He just looked at her, he officiant left them through the end, announcing it was over, they were married.

Noctis didn't wait for any cue, he pulled Luna in close and dipped her as they kissed.

They were laughing and crying and holding each other tight. They were in their own world for the time being. But the RECEPTION starts now. And that's what everyone really came for. There's alcohol, food in a buffet, and cake . Those of you at the cake tasting with them may notice the flavor you recommended is available as a donut! All of the suggested flavors are availalble, it was hard to decide who didn't get their favorite and what ONE flavor to make an entire cake out of. It didn't sit well with either of them.

Also sparklers There is a table with a few gifts on it, but it contains a large display of long sparklers with matches and a bucket of water saying "Please light up our night!"

SO Have at the reception everybody!

There is a: Dance floor with music booming, a buffet with delicious food and CAKE, There is BOOZE of all types and it's just flowing with no signs of stopping, and sparklers! Also dancing with the bride..... or getting a photo with the couple!

You mean she looks at me like I'm a predator? [That sure explains the skittishness...even though he's been nothing but nice to her.]

It's entirely possible, but I'm no animal expert. I guess she has been a little more calm around you lately, so maybe it's a phase.

You mean, like a teenager phase? Like talking back to your parents? [do they have a daughter together]

Could be. She has been losing her feathers quite a bit lately, so she may be reaching some kind of adolescent stage.

[congrats bird dad]

Maybe she needs more space. Where do pengyons like to go to relax?

Well, they're tropical waterbirds, so presumably... lukewarm water?

[Kinda wishes that treasure chest had come with a book on pengyon care.]

Maybe with sand? And tropical plants? Is there a way we could make an enclosure for her in the tank room that would be more to her tastes?

That would work. It might take a while, since we'd need to build it first- making it with ice would defeat the whole purpose.

[Can't store warm water in ice, after all.]

I'm sure she'd enjoy it, though. I'll see if I can find us some fresh sand.

Right. I'll draw up some blueprints for what the enclosure should look like. I can probably make it pretty similar to Zaveid's, just taller so she has a little room to swim around.

Sounds good. I'll see if I can figure out how to make proper saltwater. I've never had to do it before, but if she's an ocean bird, that would be the most comfortable, I'm sure.

[New skill!

...if this works could he learn how to incorporate a saltwater aspect into his artes? It would technically include earthen elements, so theoretically... he'll have to mess around with it. Ahh, this could be fun.]

Maybe we could wait until we get to a planet that has an ocean again, take some samples. You can do lab stuff with it, right? [building their daughter's room is going to take a lot of research]

Yeah, we got that upgrade. We might also need to experiment a little with multiple oceans- the water on one planet might differ from another, and there's no telling if they'd be healthy enough for her. Though we could take her onto the planet with us and see how she likes it...

[SO much research. aren't parents supposed to do this before they have the child?]

That would take months and months, though; we should focus more on getting her an enclosure as soon as possible. I think the next clean planet we go to, we should just use that water.

I'm fine with trying it out on the first planet we get to, but let's not rush things. She's been fine so far, and we don't want to take risks with her health. We're not experts about her species after all.

What're you talking about, risks with her health? She's a lot hardier than you make her sound, y'know. She's been without water and sand this whole time too, I bet she'd do better with something a little off than nothing at all for the sake of caution. [uh oh and now their first squabble over their child

things are moving so fast]

And if she falls ill from some kind of rare ocean-bird allergy in alien water, then you'll finally get a taste of salted pengyon meat?

[SUSPICIOUS LOOK]

Don't be ridiculous Mikleo, you can't eat something that's sick.

You're supposed to say that we can't eat a pet!

[YOU FAILED THE TEST]

[oh right] I mean, obviously, that also applies...

Obviously.

[He huffs in quiet annoyance, hands on his hips. You want him to trust you and you say stuff like that...]

Come on, let's dance.

[With his hair this pretty he's in the mood for it, and Sorey requires an appropriate punishment. Public embarrassment should do.]

Wha- Mikleoooo... [He'll go as pulled, but he's gonna complain a little on the way there and you can't stop him, no matter how married you are]
