(( Hello Nippon! Here is one (1) incredibly happy Fae on your screen. Ear-to-ear smile, beaming eyes. You know, all that stuff that comes on what is probably the happiest day of one's life. ))

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well and staying warm. I got married this morning and just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself by my new name (names are very important where I come from).

Hello. I'm Will Lawan-Park.

(( Off-screen, another can be heard chanting 'me too, me too.' It makes Will laugh, but there's so much warmth in the sound. He pans the camera on the device to his companion ))

And this is Riley Lawan-Park.

[He giggles now.]

Strawberry it is.

[floralias]

Thank you so much!

[pinkblinded]

You're welcome, Will. I'm happy for you and I hope you'll both enjoy the cake when I've finished it.

[floralias]

(( His smile's warm but it faded, replaced with deep concern. ))

Who's going to make a cake for your wedding??

[pinkblinded]

Mine? Oh. I suppose I'll have to do that.

[floralias]

Nooo~! You can't make your own cake! Isn't that bad luck or something?

[pinkblinded]

Not that I've heard of. Though I admit I don't know any wedding traditions.

[floralias]

I'm sure it's bad luck.

(( No he's not. He's just being petulant because Gaura shouldn't have to bake his own wedding cake! ))

I'll find someone to help!

[pinkblinded]

Is it?

[That doesn't sound right. But Will is so insistent.]

Are you sure? You don't have to...

[floralias]

(( Will pouts a little because, honestly, he doesn't know anyone else who bakes. And bakes as well as Gaura. ))

You shouldn't have to work on your special day.

[pinkblinded]

Well I wouldn't that day. I would make the cake before then. That's usually how wedding cakes are done...

[floralias]

(( Cue the impossibly wide eyes of one (1) shocked Fae. ))

Really??

[pinkblinded]

Of course. That's how most companies do wedding cakes. They do them in the days before so they can deliver them to the wedding on time.

[floralias]

Woooooooooooooooow~! I had no idea!

[pinkblinded]

So it shouldn't be difficult to get a cake made before the wedding. Then I can just make sure it's out and ready for everyone to have when the reception time comes.

[floralias]

Well, someone else could make sure it's out for the reception!

[pinkblinded]

That's alright. I wouldn't want to trouble someone...

[floralias]

I'll do it!

[pinkblinded]

[...what?]

Do it?

[floralias]

Bring your cake out! You shouldn't have to worry about that on your wedding day!

(( He's very serious, Gaura. No is not an acceptable response. ))

[pinkblinded]

But you're my guest...

[floralias]

I insist! I wouldn't feel right if you had to do something like that on your special day.

[pinkblinded]

[He sighs a little and smiles.]

You're not letting me say no, are you.

[floralias]

No. No, I'm not.

(( But now he's satisfied. ))

[pinkblinded]

[That gets a soft laugh.]

Alright. Whatever you'd like to help with, I promise I'll stop fussing and let you help.
