And that reassurance was all she needed to be all smiles and sunshine again. Perking up, she bounced back towards the teapots, tugging him along by his hands. "You're really going to like this part, it's really neat." And to demonstrate she began cramming everything from her basket into the teapot. Oddly enough it all fit, and she replaced the little lid on the pot before picking it up and pouring it. "It all goes in," she mused, waiting patiently for the teapot to do it's thing. "And out comes..." A ring. She caught it in one hand and held it up between her fingers for him to see. It was a wide, flat band in pale yellow gold, with s stripe of rose gold in the center that was a touch more rosy than was natural.
"Neat, right?" She rolled it in her fingers, glancing down at it before looking back up at Noah with the faintest touch of a blush on her cheeks. "We can keep our own, or exchange them."

When it came to the cakes, she looked. She'd had the Mushroom Cake yesterday, so today, she was thinking she'd try the Vanilla Cake.

Curly hair, and white accessories.
But he waited anyway, close to Ian, still rolling his ring gently in his hand. It wasn't fancy, just a band of rose gold and he watched as Ian dropped his items into the teapot, watched as the teapot whirred and whistled, watched as Ian poured out his ring. It was selfish, to play the little game, to test Ian's resolve and push him where he wasn't ready to be pushed. It was selfish in the way he said nothing after his plea, waiting with hopefulness for Ian's answer, hand on his arm.
He didn't give Ian an inch, but he wanted so very much to be happy, for them both to be happy. Marriage should be happy, love should be happy. He needed to hear those words because his real self was wrong, the self that doubt was wrong, the self that sat heavy as cake on his stomach was so very, very wrong.
Ian would say it, and everything would be okay. It would all be okay.
There was the slight press of a kiss on his forehead, and Shiloh smiled, sneaking a glance up at Ian. The poor guy was trying so hard, Shiloh had to commend him on his efforts as he slipped an arm around Ian's waist. The other twined around his neck, fingers curling against his skin as he leaned in so he could whisper the words, his lips just shy of Ian's, his forehead resting against his.
"Do you love me?"

His grin brightened for a moment before he perused the cakes. Finally, he pieced up the Everything Cake. "I like a little bit of everything," he said with a flourish, placing the cake in his basket.
As they moved on to the next part, he tilted is head curiously. "You been doing okay here? It's kind of crazy no matter where you go. I'm definitely still not used to it."

So much happened in the expanse of a few breaths. First off Boi was angry at himself for being so stupid and not having thought to ask Teddy if he was in Amity. Of course the bear was a monster like he... So the chances they were both in that wacky school was very high! Once his anger faded a tiny kernel of hope was planted. It as just a split second, a tiny flicker, but it was still there and it still hurt so bad to have it disappear. Teddy wasn't in the school. He had yet to be accepted.
Numbly he watched Teddy collect the tears and move forward. With the same absent mind of his friend, Boi shoved his hand into the box of magical things and tried, oh how he tried, to come up with a solution. Some crazy, half cocked scheme that would get Teddy into the school.
A tiny dead bird in a small wire cage was the artifact boi got, but it meant nothing to him. It was just a silly trinket from a silly game.
Boi stepped forward and placed the other two items in the tea pot that were Teddy's and closed the lid. It began to whistle softly. As it cooked, he finally had gotten most of hits thoughts together to be coherent. Turning to Teddy, he pulled the little bear boy into a hug. Both of his large brown wings enfolded the other from the world.
"Even if we don't see one another right away, we will one day. I promise you that I will make it happen. Just like I promised to protect you. I take that very seriously, Teddy and I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean to throw my whole being into making it happen," He was starting to choke up too and feel silly. Maybe... Maybe this was the wrong thing to tell the other boy, but the very thought of them not being together at Amity was heart broken.
"It's going to be hard, I won't lie... I know this is just a silly game and a silly world, but Teddy you.... You're more to me than I really know how to expain and I'm sorry because that's unfair to you... To put you into some situation where some guy you hardly know cares for you so much... I..." Boi's voice cracked at the end. Swallowing down his tears, he took a steadying breath and continued, "We can send each other letters, or talk on Frype (skype) if you're not totally adverse to technology after this experience."
A new, odd set of words bubbled up, but Boi decided that it was too much and kept them hidden. For now. One day, maybe. Kissing the very top of the Teddy bear's head very lightly, he finally unleashed the other from his hold. At the right time, it appeared, as the teapot settled down and the ring was ready to be collected.

He turned the ring over in his hand, feeling his chest constrict. The words were there - he could practically taste them - and yet as he opened his mouth, he found himself shutting it again, the overwhelming urge to turn and just run away strong even now, even in this shared alternate universe.
He took Shiloh's hand in his, lacing their fingers together, and bent down so that his forehead was against his, Ian's eyes closed. He swayed a little where he stood, and he thought long and hard, thought about everything the two of them had gone through, thought about the fact that he couldn't not think about Shiloh, that practically every waking moment was spent thinking about Shiloh (the other half of him was spent worrying about Nevada's well-being, his fear at her imminent death).
He wasn't used to having such a ridiculous emotional tether to another person and it terrified him.
Ian took a long, slightly shaky breath, and his eyes were still closed, but his fingers fumbled with the ring, and then he was pushing it onto Shiloh's hand, sliding it onto his ring finger where it would go in real life if this had been real life.
"Yes," he breathed out, and clutched Shiloh's hand tightly, feeling the ring pressing against their entwined hands and leaning in to accentuate the word with a kiss. "Yes, yes, yes, yes."
It still wasn't the exact words, but it was at least something; a step towards saying them.

She gave him a grin. "I've been doing okay. I'm not used to seeing so many... anthropomorphic animals... let alone talking animals." 'Shake turned her head to the circular tablets and picked up the Twins. She placed it in her basket.
"Why's everything throwing you off?" She asked.

Dog followed suit, stuffing the contents of his basket into the teapot. He didn't doubt it would all fit - that was the way it worked, after all, it was inventory space or something. The teapot whistled, and he curiously tilted it over and caught the ring that came bouncing out, a thin silvery band with a little round topaz set into the middle of an engraved sunflower. "Hey, that's cool," he said, maybe a little charmed.
He looked at the ring she held, then at the one in his hand, and solemnly held his out to her, holding it so that she could either take it or slip her finger into it, whichever she preferred. "I think it's for you," he said.

He picked up the Knight tablet and dropped it in the basket, nodding along in agreement. He rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "It's just not what I'm used to. Talking trees and hookah-loving caterpillars don't really occur at home, y'know? I'm uh..."
He lowered his voice, looking around, because he didn't know what the hell was going on here and if it was even safe to share information. "I'm a human."

"I think you might be right." It was a pretty ring, but not terribly manly. Smile softening, she held her hand up so he could slide the new ring in to nestle up against the one Phoenix had already placed on her hand, and she in turn slide the ring she had made onto his hand.
Then, the dormice were cheering, and a bright star erupted over head with a flourish of birds. And because it was a wedding Hots reached up lay small hands on Dog's cheeks, drawing him down to her as she rose up on her toes so she could catch his lips in a kiss that made the one they'd shared in the tavern seem just as tame as it was.

Escaping the Cheesecake and reuniting with BlindSeer left UT feeling pretty blissful, she grabbed his hand and tugged him along down the giant table and stopped by a huge teacup. She glanced around to make sure they weren't being pursued before grinning and doing a little /dance.
"I was getting worried…I hadn't seen you on. DarklingFox and I met in the guild, but I…I'm just glad your here."
She was interrupted by a rather frazzled looking doormouse coming out a cracked teacup, she looked rather tired and interestingly enough she was dressed in teabags…for a wedding. Suddenly she felt her hand grasped as the doormouse tugged her along speaking of manners and marriage?!
UT looked at BlindSeer startled and was glad her pixels didn't turn pink. Beamish? Did she look beamish? She was herded into a teapot and tried to say something only to be interrupted and nudged along beautiful rose petals towards tables. Uneasy? Goodness she did NOT want to float away!
She looked at BlindSeer again and gave a shrug.
"I've come to live by the philosophy that if you are indulgent to those here they will be very pleasant and sincere."
Except of course the Jabberwock, but who could be expected to be pleasant to something that was trying to eat you? As she reached out to grab a basket she paused her hand hovering over the wicked handle.
"You do want to get married don't you?"
She felt suddenly constricted, what if he said no? It was just a game, he wouldn't leave her standing in the aisle alone would he? She remembered the Caterpillars smoke, the way he'd lounged on her bed, the way she'd walked away from him and through a door. If he did leave her standing there it wouldn't be any more or less than she deserved, she was always all too willing to abandon others for herself.

They'd not been a particularly hard thing for Shiloh to say then, after all he'd never had the chance to have them thrown in his face before, had never offered them to someone in any respect other than as a friend, as family. But love to him was precious and so he'd carefully cultivated it until he was full of it, until when the time came, when the words felt right, they meant something.
So why was he pushing? Didn't he want the same for Ian?
He did, of course, but this was important, he had to know, he needed to know. He could feel Ian next to him, the tremble of his arm as he picked up his ring, as he pushed it onto Shiloh's finger.
Yes.
It was everything he needed to hear and exactly the wrong word at the same time, and it wasn't Ian's fault, he was trying and Shiloh kept pushing, Shiloh had asked the question wrong, he'd given room for evasion. He knew that Ian meant it, as he squeezed his hand and kissed his lips, as he repeated it over and over.
But they weren't the right words.
He smiled, because it was what he knew how to do, because it was the only option, because he could either smile and accept that Ian loved him, that Ian had made him happy even if it wasn't the sort of happy he'd tried to orchestrate or, if he wanted, he could be unhappy, he could believe his doubts, he could give over to the coils of negative thoughts that said it wasn't enough, that simple pleasures would never be enough.
That being happy, being ignorant was foolish. He'd almost forgotten that, in his haste to hear those words. It didn't matter that Ian couldn't say it, it didn't mean anything, they were just words. He had a ring on his finger, didn't he, and didn't actions speak louder?
So he kissed Ian back, and said, "I'm glad," taking Ian's hand and with a careful tenderness, slipping his ring onto Ian's finger, his own fingers lingering just a moment before he glanced up, meeting Ian's eyes with a smile.
Ignorance was bliss, after all.

Before he had a chance to say anything else, UT was tugging him along, running by tables and teacups until she stopped by a large... teahouse? cuphouse? Yes, cup-house, he supposed. Her enthusiasm and the little dance emote made his smirk turn into a rather sincere smile.
< TO Unmentionable_Tamer: I am sorry I worried you. You know I didn't mean to. > Yup, private as ever. Even in this anonymous world, he wasn't keen on speaking his heart to anyone but his lady. Blindseer would have given her a reassuring kiss, had even started to pull her close, but she was tugged away by a... a dormouse dressed in teabags.
A sardonic expression on his face, Blindseer followed UT and the dormouse into the cup-house, only to freeze when he heard the word "wedding" and UT asked him if he did want to get married. Yes... No... Wait, what? Yes, he wanted to marry her, someday, if she'd have him. But... But this was a game. It didn't feel right to him. Almost like it was making a mockery of the whole thing. Still, she didn't seem to be taking it seriously... And it was just a game. Ah, to hell with it, if it made her happy.
Blindseer joined her and picked up his own basket. "Of course." < TO Unmentionable_Tamer: But I would suggest next time we be dressed a little less... eccentric. > His smirk was back and one eyebrow quirked up.
He drew over to the table with the cakes and picked up the Rose cake, wondering which one she would pick.

Feeling much better as BlindSeer agreed to the virtual, dream, matrimony she grinned and relaxed. His private comment made her laugh and she nodded in agreement.
She glanced over her shoulder at him and then looked at the first table where an assortment of cakes were arrayed. Choose One the flowing script said and she eyed them all. Goodness did the multitude of sweets in this place never end?
After the doormouse prompted her she settled on one and plucked up the Rose Cake giving it a faint taste. Hmmm, roses and cranberry swet but not cloying. She set it in the basket and moved forward with BlindSeer.
Next came the circular tables, tablets on them with images that were half unknown half familiar. Well this one wasn't too difficult, she reached out her hand and grabbed the The Hatter tablet. This was her class after all it should be perfect for her union to BlindSeer, besides it represented the chaos that often followed them.
Choice made she stepped forward her eyes widening a little at the overturned table. Then she saw the chest, well chests were good...usually. She looked at the sign Feed Your Soul it said and she was perplexed until she opened the chest. Goodness but here was an eclectic bunch of trinkets and knicknacks.
Her fingers plunged into the chest and she was surprised at how some items slipped from her grasp. Finally one seemed to cradle perfectly in her palm refusing to be pushed aside by the rest of the junk around it. She pulled it out and examined it before putting the small silver key in her basket.
As she walked over she looked at BlindSeer feeling vaguely nervous, it wasn't a REAL marriage, but this was the first chance she'd had to acknowledge that this was what their future could ,no should, hold. She slid the items into the teapot on the next table and waited with baited breath.
After a moment it whistled and tipped, her hand darted out to pick up the beautiful ring that landed in the cup. It was silver, the band looked like a small key bent into a perfect circle for BlindSeer's smallest finger. A beautiful rose crystal was set in the key's top.
"Well it's a little more feminine than I imagine you would want..."
She laughed and moved to slip it on his finger.
