Everybody in the Hallows knew a wedding was coming. Much preparations had to be made, from the decor to the meals, the ceremony and the location. All of it had to be meticulously prepared and organized and furnished to accomodate the pack and, of course, those who were to be wed. It certainly brought about a refreshing atmosphere that Lae took in with great strides, her ruby eyes twinkling as she marveled at everyone’s preparations thus far. She, herself, had been considering crafting some things - through her digits could only do so much with such tiny flowers, and her arthritis would certainly flare if she attempted to make as many as she wished. The thin woman padded about for something to help with, her expression marked with determination to find something to do. Mel clambered next to her, his own beady eyes scanning the place with a slightly more overwhelmed expression - neither of them had ever witnessed or been in a wedding before, but the badger in particular had much to learn about the pack’s traditions. "Lady Laeta, th-they would surely understand if you cannot maneuver about to decorate and prepare for the festivities like they can," Mel murmured to her, pressing against her side to balance her as they turned into the courtyard. Laeta simply replied as she always did, with a graceful smile and a warm chuckle at her friend. "Mel, I am feeling much better, and stronger too. What Hallows wolf would I be if I did not contribute, at least a little? They would appreciate it, after all," She said simply.

It wasn’t long after her words to Mel that a familiar grey figure appeared as they ventured into the gardens, Laeta’s tail wagging gently behind her as she padded slowly up to the girl she’d come to know as a good friend. "Ah, Fern! Lovely to see you today," She said kindly, soon letting her eyes settle upon Fern’s task - she had ropes laid out and her stoat, Puff, was helping her find strands of ivy - presumably to wrap around the rope. That seemed a bit less daunting than her intricate flower crowns idea, so she perked up and said, "Mel and I would love to help, if you need any assistance!" She was always hoping to be of help to her packmates, especially her friends. Mel glanced up at Lae, then at Fern and Puff with a smile and a polite nod of his head, though he would always worry for his lady’s health. Though, wrapping ivy ropes seemed pretty easy on her physical condition, so perhaps it would be a nice activity.
