(( A pale face appears on the screen with notably pointed ears and markings that may seem strange to some on her face. If one looks at them just right, they seem to resemble the form of an owl. She probably isn't familiar to many as she has only made use of the network shortly after her arrival a handful of months ago. ))

To those who are parted from a spouse, do you find more comfort in holding out hope of their arrival in this place or accepting the loss and grieving for it?

Such a confection is not a tradition for my people.

[faeshim]

I see...

[at this rate he really might get married just for the cake.]

I can say that the magic here is strange but strong. You should not give up on them.

(( It's more reassuring to hear than she realized it would be. Atheva's lips curl up into a warm smile. ))

Must there be a wedding to be cake?

[faeshim]

It's more complicated than you might think! I've been told that wedding cakes are the most delicious of cakes. But 'marriage' is not a tradition of my kind. To have the cake without it would be a lie, which I also cannot do.

Last night I couldn't sleep for thinking of it.

[atheva]

You must love wedding cakes very much.

[faeshim]

I love cakes very much. I've never tasted wedding cake before.

[atheva]

Surely someone here will be married.

[faeshim]

Maybe...if your beloved arrives, you could also do the ceremony here. And have cake this time.

[atheva]

I think he would like that.

[faeshim]

What is his name? So that I can know in case I run into him first.

[atheva]

His name is Cullen. Cullen Rutherford.

[faeshim]

Cullen Rutherford. I will remember this name!

[atheva]

Thank you.
