Malik was preparing in the arena area his own little touches to this wedding, which was a positioned colorguard. all tier'dal, in shining, and yes he'd had them spend thier first four hours of conciousness polishing it, silver armor. equally tended to swords, and one bearing a banner with the symbols for Zahara's patron diety.
not to mention his son's magic teacher. illusionist had a knack for certain things and he was going to use them.
Malik had his own armor, the Neriak guard armor. which was a metallic blue shined enough to be used as a mirror. no helmet or gauntlets though. for now he'd let Sevilin be tormented by Kieran and Lateef and Nadai.

She rolled her eyes and set their breakfast plates on the table plopping a kiss on her son's head and setting orange juice down as well. "Good morning to you too." She pulled a tray of cookies out of the oven before setting those aside to cool and went back to the dip she was making. Pouring her fiancee a cup of coffee she set that down and tilted his cheek, glancing over it. "Healing right on schedule. That's wonderful." Thus a kiss for him as well and she moved back to the counter. "It's for later today. I'm sending it to Twilight as soon as it's all done to set out for the party afterwards." Okay, she'd admit it, she was scared as hell about this wedding. And when she got scared or nervous or uncertain, cooking was the best antidote. Keeping her hands busy kept the questions from popping up in her mind. She wasn't considering changing her mind, just uncertain if this was the right course. After all, what did she know about being a wife? Maybe it was foolish to play with teh arrangement they already had...maybe they were just reaching for dreams that truly didn't exist...and this is why she was cooking. To stop all these silly questions.
Lateef wrapped an arm around Caprice's waist and gave a smile to his close friends. Introductions had been given for Nadai's sake and they were all seated in the living area, eating from the plates that had been brought to them and talking. "It's a miracle they were able to pull it off so quickly though. Zahara told her two days and two days is exactly what she meant." A shake of his head. "When that girl gets it in her head to do something, she means it."

Malik came upstairs, still in his regalia, and smirked lightly.
"Now Lateef...if anything you should know I can do a great deal in short time. after all I was able to provoke, calm, torment, and bribe the first council I went to into giving me the wedding I wanted. took me what? a few hours?"
A slight chuckle.
"My piece in the puzzle is complete. and the chapel is fully prepared and ready to go. this will run smooth as silk...speaking of silk, I can now produce garments of spidersilk. tough and durable and practically weightless."

Righting his son so he was holding him in appropriate manner, he set the child down in his seat just as he was getting juice set down for his little self. Then blinked as her let her go about her healing motions and checking motions that dissolved into affections and such from her. "Aren't you supposed to kind of take it easy for your wedding day and not tire yourself out cooking? You know, we have people to do that kinda thing." Walking over and surveying everything. "And how pray tell were you planning on getting all this there?"
Let's see, got rings, got new outfits for Zahara and the boys, people that were supposed to be here were here. And she was still running around trying to make things work. Blah promises. But among the group she came breezing into the room. "Well since you think you're so nicely done, you can dress your son. His clothes are on his bed, don't let him get dirty." Handing the boy off to him whom she'd been carrying before stopping and giving him a once over. She didn't recall seeing that particular st of armor, though it did provide a nice opportunity to see how horrid her hair was looking right now. "Blue, why blue. You think the man has enough blue..." Said of course as she was walking away...didn't stay in more than one place right now. Hell she still had to get dressed herself.
Malikhai blinked and looked at his father as he was handed over. "Mommy's all worked up, ain't she?"
Kieran blinked as his daughter was in adn back out in a matter of seconds. "Well, no suprise then as to why two days is being pulled off, my poor girl is running herself ragged. Now then, if only me and Fianna could get married we could all be in the same boat." Getting poked in the side by Fianna for that one.
"You men will just never understand that a wedding is a lot harder on a woman than it is on a man. You all just have to show up, stay and give in and get married. We hace expectations. Even when it isn't our own wedding."
Isle gave a giggle to her friend's ranting and looked at Malik. "Don't worry Malik, I like all the blue."

"The only time I ever took it easy was when I was pregnant and too tired to move." She swiped a finger into the pot on the stove and tasted it for a moment then grimaced and grabbed a canister, sprinkling something green into it. A timer buzzed and she grinned. "That's the cake!" Pulling it out of the oven and letting it off to the side to cool. Three tiers. One for each member of the family. She chewed on her bottom lip a moment and hten glanced at him. "Hmm, did you say something?" Frowning lightly she shook her head. "We just need to figure out how to get it all over there." Grinning at him for a moment. "You can translocate it. Just be careful. No disasters today, it's going to be a good day." Pushing a bowl into his hands she waved her fingers and tasted something else. "Stir."
He shook his head. "More like a disaster..." Wincing as Caprice jabbed him in the side in a completely wifelike move from her, he shrugged. "Well it was. Although it was a very nice wedding. Where's the bride and groom anyway? Aren't they supposed to be here?"

"I imagine Sevilin is trying to calm jitters in Zahara, and she's probably trying to cook and entire banquet herself."
Holding his son and looking at his armor.
"Hey it's metallic steel blue. not blue blue. but it was either this or shiny black...and I don't think black is really a wedding color. well..maybe for some, but not all."
A slight smirk looking at his son.
"Mom's worked up alright..."
though a devilish grin to Fianna and Kieran.
"you know, your here, we have a chapel...we can get you outfitted in about...thirty minutes. It might not be official on Andal, but we could give you a ceremony too. I can even do the sermon.."
looking around, before going into whisper.
"Don't tell Piper, but shadowknights are servants to the deities, just like clerics...though not all the power. perfectly binding for me to do marriages...kind of like a ship's captain has that kind of authority."

"Yeah, that's about the only time." Promptly stepping out of the way and looking to his son. "Mom's gone all cook mode." Watching her pull then cake out of her oven to which he tilted his head at. Really, she didn't need to be doing all her own cooking. And she wasn't listening to him either...which meant he rolled his eyes and set the bowl he had been given down in front of his son. "Stir...I'm going to go set up translocation points...Make sure your mother starts to get things together so we can go, okay?" Puppy eyes did everything. But first quick back and forth trip to Twilight for him. "She's trying to feed an army." Shaking his head as it was said to the group he passed on his way to the dinning room, scribing up the table and then promptly walking back the other way. "We'll be eating wedding food for weeks." And a gag as a Piper who walked by in the opposite direction, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.
"Future wife. Get her here now."
"Duly noted." Which meant back home for him, and to fetch Zahara. Back to his own kitchen...or her's rather. "Piper wants you, now."
And Piper stopped to look at Malik once more. "Blue is blue. But that's beside the point. Your son is still not dressed. And I heard you, I hear everything in this house Lord D'vinn. And the last thing I need is people coming around here looking for wedding services and you doing it to make a quick bunch of steel. If you want to marry the parent's marry the parents, but other than that behave yourself." And then it was off with her again to do other things before digging into Zahara.
He blinked again and nodded as his father confirmed things. Mommy was indeed all worked up. But it was a good thing right? Right because Zykariel's parents were getting married married. "Do I gotta dress up too?" He couldn't get dirty if he was wearing nice things. Maybe he could get out of it if he went this route.
Fianna crossed her arms lightly. "No thank you Malik. If I'm getting married, it will be when I don't have to be taking care of a kingdom. Can't take care of that and Kieran as well. The man is hopeless after all."
"Hey! I'm not completely hopeless...but if that's your excuse for now, then so be it." Dismissively waving about that but looking to Malik, "And you've given me yet another thing to write down. I love it when I come down here, learn something knew everytime."

Zykariel blinked but started stirring the bowl as he watched his mother decorate her own wedding cake. He knew what was going on but he'd never been to a wedding before...except the one when he was in his mommy's tummy but he didn't think that counted. "Mommy! Daddy says we gotta go soon!"
She licked a bit of icing off her finger and nodded. "As soon as I finish with the cake and the-" Another buzzer went off and she danced around the kitchen trying to figure out what she was supposed to remember. There was nothing in the oven... Throwing a hand into her hair, she frowned adn glanced at Sevilin then held up a finger. "Okay I'll be there in a second." Opening the fridge she shook her head. "Of course!" Thus she flipped the steaks sitting in the marinating sauce, closed the lid and started shaking it again. Finishing with that, she moved back to the cake and picked up her frosting tool. "Almost done."
Zykariel set the bowl down and walked over to his father, tugging on his tunic. "I don't think she's ready to go yet, Daddy." Then pointed to the dishes stacked on the table. "She said all that can go to Twilight though."

Timers, buzzers, beeping annoying things...he appreciated being on time and all, but this was slightly irritating. Looking down at his son, he pet at his still bed messy hair. "Go put some clothes on." Before walking to the table, scribing a quick rune so that all on one table would then be transfered to another table...at least that was easy. And thus he came back over to stand next to Zahara, watching her frost cake. "Zahara, time to stop and do other things. You've made your share of the food, let other people do the rest."

"Duly noted...and that'll get fixed soon."
looking at his son.
"Yes. maybe if your really good, we'll shine up your armor and you can wear that."
that should at least get him compliant to the dressing up thing...before a grin at Kieran.
"I did some writing in your absence. I thought you'd be coming eventually for a visit, so you got a gift of a journal of Tier'dal family dynamics for your own compilations with what I know your storing away in your head. and Miss Rainsong...you still need to select an instrument. your parents already got thiers...and speaking of that."
handing over a packet to the Rainsongs.
"If you'd like, that's some Norrathian music. three part harmony, Koada'dal make. should work good with a harp, violin and a flute."
then dropping the book in Kieran's lap...before handing over a box to Fianna.
"I pulled a few strings...and got you some feathers and arrowheads from Cymarron."
before taking his son upstairs to get him dressed for this wedding.

She shook her head and turned, "But it's not done yet. I can't have the cake only half done, Sevilin. What would that say about me? I don't finish what I start and I don't care enough to get my cake fully done on my wedding day. I don't want anyone thinking that of me." Thus back to frosting the cake as she spoke. "You go on ahead without me and I'll be there shortly. I promise."
The child reappeared ten minutes later fully dressed even down to half brushed hair and untied boots. "Ready! Come on Mommy we gotta go get married." He tugged on hie father's tunic again. "Make her go Daddy. Do that grabbing and moving thing."

"Gotcha Malik. You can take me down tomorrow after all of this and I'll pick up my gift." And look at that, music to go along with it and everything.
"He does spoil us, doesn't he?" Chuckling at the various things that Malik passed out among the group. "Always strives to make a good impression even though he's already in the family. Though I'm not complainging." Flipping through pages a moment before turning his attention to Lateef. "And you're coming home with me this time right?"
"Impresses indeed." Poking through the box's contents. "Can't get feathers like this just anywhere."
He didn't know how to feel about it all, but he figured that armor may be better than getting all fancy dressed up like mommy wanted him to be...but at the same time, he had the feeling mommy would be winning...she was in that mood it seemed where she got the say in things. But he let himself be carted off upstairs. "Why do we gotta dress up, we're not going anywhere."
He sighed and merely leaned against the counter, waiting for her. Though when his son came back down he picked him up, setting him on the counter and went about finger combing the boys hair and then tying up his boots for him. "Ten minutes Zahara, I'm not leaving this place without you. Piper would kill me."

"Because today is a special day. a once in a lifetime day for Zahara and Sevilin, and you know how long time is for us. So it's being courteous to them to get yourself dressed nicely for their wedding ceremony."
getting him dressed in his outfit, and just because he thought it looked good, shined up his armor bracers and ut those on him and his breastplate. hey he thought it looked good. fancy underclothes with a shiny breastplate and bracers. and then took him back downstairs.

She turned and glanced at him a moment then nodded. "Oh very well. I don't see what the big fuss is anyway. It's just a wedding." She put the finishing touches on the three tiered cake and then stepped back. "What do you think?" Looking at the expression on his face, she rolled her eyes. "Oh alright. Let me go put my boots on and grab my cloak and then we can go. You get that cake to Twilight and do not let it drop Sevilin Inthara. I mean it." Thus she flitted upstairs and then came back down. "I'm ready."

Good thing he had already taken his own things to Twilight the night before, because he knew there would be drama today. "A wedding you want done by the end of the day today, when we only had the previous day to prepare." Watching her go off before a rune to get her cake where it needed to be, knowing it would be fine. Then it was waiting and he picked up his son, took Zahara's hand and pulled her along before a quick translocation to Twilight.
"Oh. Are we gonna have another special day where we have to dress up for something?" Letting his father dress him in clothes that indeed were meant for a formal occasion, and smiling at the fact that daddy added on various touches of armor. Daddy did that himself sometimes. Made him happy at his semi emulation of his father, as always. And thus back downstairs, holding to his father's hand.
Piper met them at the base of the stairs, giving a smile."Isn't that adorable. See, that's not so bad and thank gods people listen to me." That being said in reference to the boy not wearing a scrap of blue. "Now that just leaves Intharas and soon to be Intharas." To which she turned her head to look at said elves as they came strolling in. "Finally! Took long enough." walking over and grabbing Zahara by the wrist, dragging her off. "I'll take the women folk, you boys can do what you all do. But do make sure those two are dressed by the time they need to be." Thus upstairs with them.
