Ereshkigal lets herself be lead to the sofa and sits down visibly relaxing and looking a little sleepy
Becky shrugs. "I just wanted to get it over with- it's nothing big, a jeans and t-shirt thing with cupcakes and hotdogs. Mostly for the family- we might go before then and just do the paperwork. It's sorta like renting to own after being together so long. Heh- but everything has been hectic around here and I wish it would just slow down. It seems like something or other dire is always going on. No rest for the wicked I guess. Sorry about crashing the party, Jess." she takes a long drink then says.
"Okay that was life in a nutshell- how about you guys?"

Karen smiles. "Well I'm no closer to my big day. Though we were kinda talking about doing it where we make it legal first, on paper, then having the ceremony deal later....but that's later on. For now, all I have to worry about is my job and my health..."
Ciel shadowed next to her Queen on the sofa and snuggled as close as she could.

Karl smiles at Becky, "I think weddings should be light and jovial, not pompous and stuffy. It makes everyone feel happier and the mood is so much more loving and easy." he says with a nod as he hugs Becky. "The best combo for a ceremony of bonding and blessings. Don't you agree?"
Thane wipes his eyes with his furry mitt. He looks to Lysandor and nods to him. They both look a lot like big girls about now. He places his paw on Lysandors shoulder with a look of -I feel you brother.- Then he looks to his love and if he were a bit more emotional he would confess his undying love for Tre'Maya too. Instead he soldiers up and makes for his plate of viddles to drown his weakness with food.

Tre'Maya smiles as she watches the two Elite have their moments. She nodded to Vetli as her gilded chair appeared for her to sit on.
It is lovely to see them express what normally would have been hidden.
Vetli nodded and sat next to her on the floor. The last time I saw the pup cry like that was when he left you...

Regent remains standing as the others gather about Ereshkigal. Her droopy features denote her readiness for real sleep, yet she fights it as though she were trying to avoid drifting off. He tilts his head for a moment and nods slightly.
His voice echoes in Ereshkigal's ears. Very faint and soft it resonates in her mind yet he speaks no words. "The darkness is calling you home, isn't it Ereshkigal, yet you resist... I can hear it... It whispers to you... It needs you... It want's to become you... As it once became with... your father. He looks sad for a moment as he looks into her eyes with his static orbs.

Ereshkigal's eyes are slipping shut as Regent silently communicates with her, she rests against Ciel barely barely awake.
"It's part of me.. but it's not who I am... Papa mastered the dark.. I have to too..." and her head sinks to her chest as she dozes off.
"Weddings should be fun- that's for sure.. lol and by my nature I don't want a religious wedding- but my family does. I think I'm going to sneak around them and get a multi-religious or unitarian ceremony. Becky looks a little devilish.
"Karen, are you okay health wise?"

Lysandor returns Thane's look with a faint, barely-there smile, and wipes away the rest of his tears. He remains close to the lost Queen's side, though far enough away to allow her privacy if she should so choose.
Expression so much emotion is still very new to Lysandor, and he's not sure if he should celebrate the tears or be embarrassed by them . . . Emotion always confused him.
Jess laughs a bit at the wedding ideas. "That outta be interesting. Hopefully your family won't disown you, but maybe they have a better sense of humor, yeah?" She turns to Karen at Becky's question, her face worried. "You better be okay . . ."

Karen smiles. "Just an uber cold or something of the sort. Nothing big. But I hide it well."
Ciel curls around her Queen and purrs. She strokes her hair and rubs her face against the little half-asleep woman's and sighs as she stays wrapped around her, waiting to put her to sleep.

"Take Zicam- it works wonders I swear!" Becky gives Karen a hug and polishes off her drink. She scoots off to the snack table before Thane empties all the dishes. After a moment she comes back munching thoughtfully on a carrot stick.
"Ahh... diets.... heh." She looks down a plate of nothing but fruit and veggies.
"It's a good think I love the green stuff."
Queenie moves around a little and ends up with her head on Ciel's lap, murmuring about naps.

Karen smiles and nods. "I've been taking various stuff. No worries."
Ciel pets Erishkegal's hair and sings to her, low and melodious. She's being as gentle as possible. She wants her Queen to sleep...

"So long as they don't turn you into some kinda drooling zombie you should be fine," Jess says.
Lysandor continues to stand watch over his sleeping Queen and her comforting Devilcat.

Karen chuckled as she sat down with her spoils. "Nah, only rum does that. " She smiled and kicked her shoes off to sit comfortably. "So, anyone else had anything interesting happen?"
Ciel kept petting and singing. When she was sure that her Queen was truly asleep, she leaned her head back. She had her own eyes closed for a second, but fluttered them open to smile at Lysandor and whisper, "Lovely, is it not?"

Thane takes his plate and returns to Tre'Maya's side. His eyes express many things but still he hides from it all. He has a mouth full of food and his face distorts to his chewing madly. He offers the plate to Tre'Maya if she wants some of the viddles. And his eyes never leave Ghostie lying on the couch.
Karl laughs as he sits on the floor. "Well, I've gone off the deep end this year. I'll soon know whether I'll sink or tread the waters. I've got a Convention I'm headed to here in Colorado Springs this week end of Feb 1-3, then it is online store overhaul time."
He takes a sip and keeps on rambling. "Amidst the early freekin' preparation for Worldcon and Dragon*con, I'm sorry if I should disappear for a few days at a time. I am amazed at how much work goes into setting up a table at these cons, I'm feeling a bit 'Out of the loop' when it comes down to it all. I'm sure it gets easier with knowledge and experience. I sure hope so anyway. " He says with an unsure grin.

Lysandor nods to Ciel, a faint smile on his face.
Jess smiles encouragingly at Karl. "Most things do get easier the more you do them . . . or at least, you learn shortcuts." She stretches. "Well, the only exciting thing to happen to me in recent times is going to the emergency room twice in a week for trouble breathing, but that's pretty much under control now. Well, unless you count being severely overworked." She shrugs.

Ciel smiled back up to Lysandor , then shut her eyes again and cuddled her Queen closer. Her voice floats up to Lysandor. "Beauty runs rampant within sleep...and sticks when the lovely wake."
Karen smiles and take a bite of her foods. "Well, I know about overworked. I've been there before...and as for all your cons and things, I wish you good luck with that! I've always wanted to attend one, but not as a seller of anything..."

Tre'Maya smiles and takes a piece of food from Thane's plate. She notices that Thane's eyes never leave his Queen and she quite understands. She sits back in her gilded chair and smiles, reaching out to pet Thane's head.
Vetli continues eating and smiling, watching the whole party.

Queenie is passed out and shows no signs of waking up soon.
"One of these days Karl I swear I'm going to have to come to dragon-con. Seems like more and more people I know go there every year. I can't wait to see the online store overhaul ^.^" Becky glances at Jess and looks worried.
"Just how much do you work a week? Don't tear yourself up working... I know too many people that do that."

Regent watches Ereshkigal fall asleep. He smiles and sighs. "So young... and so ill prepared..." He nods and turns to face Tre'Maya.
"Forgive me lady, I did not mean to leave you without excusing myself." He says looking disturbed by his ill manners.

Tre'Maya nodded to him and smiled. If your needs call for your leaving, Chancellor, then please, do not allow me to stop you.
She continued to pet and scratch the back of Thane's great shaggy head.

"Indeed, it does," Lysandor says softly to Ciel.
"Only about forty to forty-eight hours in a week now," Jess says to Becky. "But I have to cover for another person who hasn't come into work at all this year. Most days, I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything caught up and it's impossible." She slips her shoes off and rubs her feet. "I broke in my boots a long time ago, but I'm on my feet for eight or more hours in a day, so even my working boots can't stop my feet from killing me at the end of the day." Jess stands upright and wiggles her sock clad toes. "But we're getting some new people in training classes in two weeks, and when they come out on the floor, I think I'll just buy them all pizza."
