[The flowers turn to the door before it even opens, the blossoms shimmering slightly when it does, and White's humming a little as she comes in; there's nothing notably new about her, not unless Black notices the way she's playing with her hands and the ring that seems to swirl different colors as a result, how there's a certain glow and warmth she can't contain as well as she can normally.
She'll pick up Socks when he trots up to greet her, kissing his head.]
Hi there, sorry for leaving you. Do you still want to play?
[Apparently not, since he'll just paw at her until she sets him down and run back to Black. Purrpurr.]
That's— wonderful, White. Mary. [ He'll return the hug after a moment, arms looser than hers. He's torn, really—happy for her, but it's... ] To Silver?
He said he didn't want to have any regrets, if one of us ended up disappearing. That he wanted to experience a lot with me.
[...]
It's utterly pointless, I know. Marrying someone here doesn't matter back home, and it doesn't change what I have to do in the end either, but... I'm never going get this chance anywhere else, so why not, right? I don't want to have any regrets either.
That's... kind of short notice, don't you think? [ how are they supposed to plan a wedding, oh my god?? ] Are you sure you don't want it some other time?
[Your sister's whims are as whimsical as always, Black.]
Besides, waiting too long could be bad! It won't be very big either, only us and maybe some of my business partners, friends we want, something like that -- but it won't need a lot of planning. Which I'm doing myself.
[she's pounding on his back before she steps away, jerk]
And my business partners. You can invite your Enforcer friends too, if you want, and of course Silver's going to bring Gold... So just a small party.
[... Mmm. White wishes that Tsukiyama and Chie were still around, that Leo would come again, that maybe they could've done this when the ghosts of her parents were hanging around, but that's simply how the world works; it gave her these chances, these irreplaceable memories, but they're as fleeting as any happiness. Still, she's determined not to let it get her down -- even if someday she left herself, even if she forgot it all, a part of her is still imprinted by the people she's met and loved.]
So Miss Sigrun, Mr. Regnard if he's not too busy... [ Miss Edea and Mr. Ringabel? But they'd probably be fairly busy, so maybe not. Mr. Bulat'd have to come if Mr. Regnard was too, hmm...
Her last comment gives him pause, and he hums softly. ] ...Me too, really.
I'd always imagined it back in Scotland too, surrounded by sheep and right by the sea.
[... Maybe not surrounded by sheep. She looks thoughtful for a moment, but shakes her head.]
That dream died three... no, four years ago now. [Four years.] But no matter how big or small it is, I'm going to smash cake into Silver's face and enjoy it, just like I would've then. This place has given me so many things and I'm going to take every one of them.
[ Definitely surrounded by sheep. ...They could probably do that here. Maybe even the giant ones. ]
...That's exactly what Mom and Dad would've wanted. [ Exactly what they'd want. ] It's too bad they can't come. At least you can tell them all about it next Selenium?
Oh, I will! I'll take pictures, too, so I can show them what they missed out on. And there's always the memory petals... even if the tree hasn't been looking like it usually does.
[And it's things like those that keeps her head well enough, that if Silver does end up disappearing or if she does herself, that they'll have pictures and memories and-- it's bittersweet to think about, it makes her chest hurt, but it'll be fine. There's no point in thinking about "ifs".]
Black, have you gotten any better at it? Taking pictures, I mean. I'm not going to take my own wedding photo.
Flowers, landscapes, our pets, some peo... dead bodies? [ ?????? ] I'm not Chie, White, I don't like dead things. And I'd have to report corpses. I try really, really hard to stay away from those cases, I won't even let Miss Sigrun or Mr. Regnard pull me into any.
You're such a wimp. [...] I can't really stand the sight of them either. Animals are fine, but people... never really settled well with me. I guess it's just different between seeing them on TV and seeing them for real, too.
[... Ho hum. She's pushing him, teasing while she's at it.]
What kinds of people did you take pictures of? Any prospects?
Nothing like that. [ A small push back. ] How many times do I have to tell you I'm not interested in dating anyone before you start taking me seriously?
[ this has nothing to do with the fact the only guys he's liked aren't around anymore and the rest are pretty faces and not really much else ]

She's in a pretty good mood, and she's sure having a good time glowing and playing with her... ah. ]

I'm getting married.
