It's not too warm yet, the air is pleasantly perfumed by abundant flowers, and birds chirp in the bushes. Mid way through collecting [item=bladed flatleaf] 's, Hawthorne swoops past them on his way home, still busy with Courier duties despite the festival. He has nothing for them, but signals secretly to LittlePrincess before cheerfully noodling away. LittlePrincess tries to hide his excitement as they collect more leaves, and even a festival chest, before heading home. The clan is no less festive despite the week drawing to an end. They are swept up into more games. LittlePrincess waits for a moment when the others are thoroughly distracted - their familiars drawn into a somewhat tricky rhythm game while Dreamer excitedly cheers them on - and slips away to complete his task. He returns before they get worried about his absence and draws them off to a secluded spot for some privacy. Hoping he hasn't committed a huge faux pas in Serthis circles, he hands his prize over to Zosimus. Zosimus eyes the flat rectangular box in puzzled trepidation. LittlePrincess' frills twitch uncertainly as he encourages him to open it. A breath - the dragons aren't likely to hurt him now after all this time - and he pulls the lid off. The breath catches in his throat as it tightens around a flood of emotion so strong he slumps forward in disbelief. There, nestled on clean red cloth, are twin Venomblade swords. They gleam enticingly. His hand trembles as he reaches in for one, but the sword is steady when he lifts it. The sword is perfectly balanced, razor sharp. He reverses his grip and twists the hilt to reveal the hidden dagger is also there. He tastes the air reflexively and sure enough, it's coated in poison, though one he isn't entirely familiar with. The other one is perfect too. Zosimus stares over at LittlePrincess in shock. A dragon has just armed him. He knows many place to strike just right. At this distance there's a good chance LittlePrincess wouldn't be able to defend himself in time. Yet the dragon watches him almost shyly. Explains their metalsmith, Garnet, forged them for him. A warrior shouldn't be without their weapons after all. Zosimus snorts a bitter laugh at that. LittlePrincess apologises if he's overstepped, and Zosimus can't even anymore. Tears prickle his eyes. It's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him. His chin ducks into the scarf LittlePrincess gave him. His dragon flails before resting a hand on Zosimus' shoulder, squeezes, stays there. His bandoleer remained empty for weeks. Now the new blades slide into the sheathes like they've always belonged. The weight of them feels good and balanced around his hips. So now his arms are free to throw around LittlePrincess in a desperate hug. His dragon doesn't tolerate touch a lot of the time, but LittlePrincess clings to him just as tight.

They head out to the Rainsong Jungle for a last few [item=Bladed Flatleaf] 's before coming home to relax for the rest of the day. Tomorrow they return to the Vow in earnest, back to the grind of looking for Battlestones. Today, is for family. They spend a little time with each of their parents, letting them get to know the one they love. They visit their clanmates and reminisce over their hatchlinghood days playing and learning in safety and comfort. They take tea with their clan leaders again and come away smiling from their calm encouragement. As evening approaches, when they've taken their fill of the last of the bounty of food prepared for them, the whole clan gathers in the back field; friends and family pile atop one another so they all fit with enough room to spare in the centre of the field. Matriarch Jinok says a few words. Priestess Mystic performs a short ceremony in honour of Lady Gladekeeper. They all bow in pray to their deity, a minute of silence as they make wishes for the coming year. Dreamer sneaks a glance at LittlePrincess as they open their eyes again. His ears are red. But he meets her gaze head on, frills spread gently in a smile, and Dreamer melts in happiness. Chinatsu plucks her harp, a few drums join her in a lively tune, and Illicium soars up into the free space, golden silks twirling around him as he leads the first dance. He's captivating, breathtaking: his mate certainly thinks so as Astrophel joins him, clumsy in comparison, but frills spread wide in happiness. They bow to the audience in unison, to delighted cheers and whistles. Other couples and groups of mates and friends take a twirl too. Dreamer looks again at LittlePrincess. She wants so badly to pull him out for a turn around the field, but is that too much? Her invitation spills forth before she can convince herself otherwise - talking is what they promised one another after all. His frills twitch. His eyes dart around their gathered clanmates. She teeters on the edge of telling him to forget she asked and apologising for being so forward when he surprises her once again with his willingness to trust her. LittlePrincess flutters into the air so he's eye level where she's laying between their families. He bows elegantly to her before twisting into a fluttering, enticing couple of moves that bring her to her feet without her knowledge and draw her into the circle. His mother has taught him to dance, she recognises a bit of it from when his parents danced earlier, and he's sharing this with her, inviting her to him. She spreads her wings and joins him in the air. Neither of her parents can dance, their laughing stumble around the circle a vivid testament, and she has no clue what she is doing, just that she wants to be here with him. Their size difference alone makes dancing together awkward. LittlePrincess twirls around before her as she hovers, slowly guiding her through a couple of rotations. A smile grows and spreads across her face. He takes her hand and brings her higher, gently spinning, a careful roll together, up and up, until she tilts backwards. A moment where she could snap out her wings and stop, but she follows his lead and tumbles over, a dizzying turn as he plummets with her. She's upside down, falling. His wings spread wide over her like he could carry both their weight. A shock of fear tempered by their connection. He tucks his wings trustingly. Hers fan open and she rolls them safely over. A couple of powerful downbeats and they come to a halt before dropping safely to the ground. They're still holding hands. His eyes are wide and alive. She pants breathlessly. People are cheering but it fades away to nothing when he leans in and presses his forehead to hers.
