Just a little further

All of the preparations for the wedding were in the last final rush to get everything done in time and now that they were closer to the actual events they could start preparing things that were more time sensitive like the flowers, foods, and decor. She had helped Serenity put the final touches on the arch she had made for the ceremony just that morning and she was starting to see the vision of it come together. She was excited for all of it regardless of how it turned out, but it was getting to be just a bit stressful knowing that there was still so much to get in place before they were ready to host their guests and hold the tournament that Artorias had planned for the reception. So many moving pieces, so little time.

She already happened to be with Artorias when her father called for them from the border, pulling her attention away from the final decisions they were making for the feast. They were taking inventory of what they had and what they needed to partner with the hunters to get in the days leading up to the event, but it was nothing they couldn't briefly pause to see what Sirius needed from them. Walking out to the plains next to Artorias, her father's dark form was easy to spot and she gave him a grin as they got closer. "Hi, Dad," she greeted happily, tipping her head up to affectionately tap her nose to his cheek before taking a step back to settle on her haunches across from him next to Artorias, giving him a curious look. If he was just here to spend time with them she figured he would have just come in, but it looked like this was more of a visit for business instead of pleasure.
