Camille smiled at Ceres. She was still learning, but she would get it soon enough. She set about finishing her pancake.
Keeta started doing mental calculations, thinking outloud as she went. She nodded a silent greeting towards Cassara as she entered the room.
"Well let's see, you, Sky, Natalia, Perian, Cas-...um... Vlad and Kaida, Aurora, Aurora Dawn, Tinker, Ayisha and Masika...and if they don't bring the twins, that's 11 right there...." Keeta's eyes wandered toward Cassara wondering if the young woman had noticed the slip. Either way, she continued with her thoughts.
"Surion, 12....and I would want to invite Luna from the clinic, Jiao'lan and Ke'rehl, Amena and her husband Silver, even though I haven't actually met him yet. Then there's my Evin "family": Annata, Kyo and Momi, Tess, Brat and her son Woodz. That's...." she counted on her fingers adding the new people.
"23. So you were estimating pretty well. Can you think of any names I've forgotten, particularly on your side that I should add to my mental checklist?" Keeta looked in her bag for a piece of paper.
"I really should learn to keep a pad of paper and a pen in here...."

"Imbri and I believe she brings two guests with her as well. Natalia is fond of the little boy," Ceres chuckled as she snapped her fingers and paper and pen appeared. "All you have to do is ask."
"Doubt Rhine's coming... This being a 'woman' thing and all," Cassara couldn't help but to grumble.
Cassara straightened up and then ruffled the little girls hair. "Did you mention Kaida... It would only be fitting that I show up with my fiancee." She walked around the table to take a seat at her place. The kitchen had grown as had the table in the past view months to accommodate the 'new comers'.
"I really doubt Ayisha or Masika would be able to separate themselves from the twins. There is Fauste and Lexi... They are my sisters." Ceres sighed and again looked out the window. "Though I doubt they'll show... It has been a while. Terrible isn't it considering we all live on this island."
((Kaida would end up being one of those mentioned that came but was never played. The person behind the character is a hard one to come by. Masika and the twins are another of those that we would say showed but not play because Faust helps run them... And i haven't seen Fauste or Lexi in a good while...))

((I did mention Kaida in the previous post. I didn't know if you just missed it or if it was intentional though.
And I wasn't expecting that everyone would play. Right now we're just talking about invitations anyways, not necessarily the people who are actually going to end up coming))
"Thanks Ceres. Imbri plus two, and the twins...Fauste and Lexi..." Keeta murmured as she wrote down the names, although she cringed somewhat internally. She hoped that the number of small children that were getting put on the list wouldn't be disruptive. She turned to Cassara.
"I said Kaida, I guess you just didn't hear me. I wouldn't forget your mate," she said politely. "And I don't know if the guest list is necessarily a 'woman' thing. He may want some imput on who gets invited." She turned back to Ceres.
"I know it'll be disappointing if they don't show. I don't expect even half of my Evin family will be there either..." her eyes glazed over for a moment as she thought of Tess. The owner of the bar had been almost nonexistant in recent times, since she had eloped with her new husband. Shaking her head, she brought herself back to the present.
"Those names bring us to 30. Now that we're adding children on there though, do you think I should include Jiao'lan's daughter and Luna's daughter? I'm also thinking about the fairy who attended the birthday party. He seemed very nice."

"Good thing Rhine has plenty of room at the cafe," Ceres chuckled as the number of people on the guest list quickly rose. She took one last bite of pancakes and pushed the plate forward- she would grab it later.
"Rhine doesn't see today as guest list day he sees it as wedding day planning day... And that to him is for the woman folk to do," Cassara mumbled again as she wrapped her tail around the syrup. "And, I was a bit preoccupied," she said in response to Kaida already being on the list.
"Include all the little ones..." Perian said as she came into the kitchen. "We're great with kids... Almost to good," she said with a slight cringe knowing full well how many would want 'pony rides'. "It really is the least we can do considering you really don't need wedding gifts unless you count the skimpy kind..." She shot a look at Cassara already knowing what her sibling could come up with.

Keeta nodded, thinking, wondering if there were more to add. Perhaps they wouldn't have a hard time staying within the limit like she thought they would.
"Well if we keep the numbers down below 50, which we seem do be doing ok, at least the kitchen staff won't be overwhelmed. That shouldn't be more than they would get on a normal business night. I sure hope it's not a bother for Rhine to ask them to cater it...." Keeta frowned slightly as she thought. She never liked asking things of people, even if it was for a good reason. She glanced at Cassara when she spoke about Rhine's interpretation of the day's events.
"Perhaps I should call him. I would like his input. Doesn't seem right to me that he wouldn't have a say in who gets invited..." she started digging in her bag for her cell phone when Perian made her 'wedding gifts' comment. Keeta froze and turned her head so she could see the centaur out of the corner of her eyes. She blushed all the way to the tips of her ears, before turning back to her bag and trying to occupy herself with finding the phone.

"I really doubt Rhine will answer the phone considering he's gearing up for the breakfast rush," Cassara said as she sat the syrup down. "Besides... between our mother and myself we know everyone he'd invite."
Ceres was occupied elsewhere again thought wise.
Perian snorted at Keeta's blush. She was glad that she would never have to worry about those things. "I'm sure he's seen you in less and is a pro at taking it off in seconds... So why blush?"

Keeta mumbled a response to Perian under her breath, that sounded something like, "Doesn't mean I want everyone talking or thinking about it." She cast a glance towards Camille, who just smiled at her innocently as she managed to use the fork to get another piece of pancake in her mouth. Well at least all of this adultish talk was going over the toddler's head. But what about Natalia? Keeta frowned slightly and considered the girl before looking back at Cassara.
"I suppose you're right...I just don't want to leave anyone out that should be there. I guess we can always add to the list later." Keeta turned her gaze towards Ceres, who seemed to be out of it.
"Ceres?" she said, pausing a moment so the older woman's attention could refocus.
"Is there any other wedding issue you wanted to address right now? It seems we have a place for the wedding and reception, a tentative guest list, I have a dress...." she trailed off waiting for input.

"Just the more specific things," Ceres said as she turned her attention back to Keeta. "Flower girl, brides maids- and their dresses... Men's tuxes and such. Nit picky things," she was still acting a bit absentminded as she waved her hands to dismiss the dirty dishes.
Perian gave a side ways look at Cassara before winking. Her mind was already racing at the possibilities especially the ones that would prove most embarrassing.

"Well...I have been considering those things. Haven't made any final determinations yet. It's hard to pick sometimes...." she glanced between Natalia and Camille. Camille was of the right age to be a 'cute' flower girl (and quite literally with the lilies in her hair!) but Keeta wasn't convinced that she could be persuaded to walk down the asile in a realitively large group of people. Natalia was her other choice, but would she consider herself to be too old? She could be a Jr. Bridesmaid but....Keeta sighed and twisted a blue lock of hair around her finger.
"I've actually played with the idea of having an extremely small wedding party with just the best man and the maid or matron of honor...Makes things less complicated. I haven't really discussed that part with Rhine yet. I don't know who he might be considering for his best man, or other groomsmen for that matter."

"Yes, those are things that you have to consider... Not really much I can do to help you out." Ceres smiled as she weaved her fingers. The pen was fast at work scribbling across the paper with random thoughts and such about the wedding.
"I'm going to take these and head over to see Ayisha," Perian said as she grabbed the remainder of the pancakes and headed out the kitchen. She left the syrup and such...
Natalia huffed entirely to uptight to care about eating. She had tried- the evidence was there in the picked over pancakes. Everything, and then some was racing through her mind. "Can we hurry up and play all ready..."

"Do think anyone would get upset if I chose to have only one person up there with me, instead of several?" Keeta looked at Ceres, waiting for an answer, when Natalia spoke. The blue-haired woman raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl.
"Is something bothering you Natalia?" she asked, trying to be gentle.
"I thought you were excited about the wedding..."

"Why would anyone have reason to be upset? It is your wedding," Ceres chuckled. Just as Keeta's attention was turned to Natalia so was hers. She pursed her lips- her patience was wearing thin, really thin.
Natalia entwined her fingers in the ends of her hair. She sighed more in frustration than anything else. She had thought taking a ride earlier would have helped her clear her mind but it hadn't even begun to settle maters. "No, no not your wedding... I just... suck," with that said she stood up and headed out of the kitchen.
Cassara quickly stood up. She had a feeling what this was about. It was turning out that Natalia was a lot like her brother (even if they weren't blood related).

Keeta's eyebrows shot up in surprise. That was certainly not the response she had expected. And to make matters more complicated, she had no idea what might have prompted such a statement from her goddaughter. Blinking, she turned to Ceres, wondering if she might straighten things out, speaking only when Natalia was out of earshot.
"Do you know why Natalia think she 'sucks?' And perhaps what it is she thinks she is poorly qualified for?" This negativity and stubbornness was becoming more and more common in Natalia's personality. Keeta hoped she would be able to keep up when she was the girl's guardian.

"Violin," Ceres mumbled. She wanted to crawl under the table or at least be able to hide her face behind something. She sighed softly and looked from where Natalia once sat to Keeta.
"Natalia is brilliant in her own rights doesn't mean she has the confidence," with that said Cassara left the room. Her tail accidentally hitting the door frame in her quickness.

"Ok.....so she needs to develop confidence in playing her violin. That will come with time. After all, she's still relatively young...but why is she all upset about it? Did someone give her bad marks on performance or something?" Keeta understood how people could be shy about their abilities, such as Rhine being shy about his violin performance. But that didn't mean they stressed about them and made themselves disaggreable. Keeta felt like she was missing some vital piece of information that would make all of this make more sense. She had no idea what that might be, however.
