Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Carpathius
Open Wedding Reception!

Manea was quite pleased to have received an invitation to Artorias and Briar's celebration. After the evening they had shared during their last visit she had felt like it was a toss up whether the Auster dwelling couple would enjoy their company once more or would avoid them entirely. It seemed that they hadn't scared off the young wolves after all and for that she was very glad. Alastor collected quite some nice gifts to offer the couple, but when Avacyn and Saracyn had decided to come along her clever daughter had wanted to add her own gift so Manea helped her daughter prepare something that she thought would fit the Carpathius wolves. She had a hard time being away from their little Fia so soon, but it would only be for a couple of days and she more than trusted Irilyth to be her care taker.
They walked into the castle together and she chuckled as Saracyn attempted to dart off toward the feast table, letting Alastor reign in their rowdy son at least long enough to say their congratulations to their hosts. Alastor with his charismatic charm greeted the pair as they approached the alpha's table, dropping the pelts, metals, and gemstones on the table with the other gifts. A smirk tugged at her lips at her husband's thinly veiled comments, leaning into his side a bit with a warning swat of her tail across his hip. After Alastor presented his half of the gifts she waved Avacyn forward, adding, "I can't take all of the credit for this part of your gifts. My daughter is quite the crafter and wanted to make something for you."
Avacyn politely placed the small bag made of soft leather on the table in front of the Hallows leaders, giving them her congratulations as well before she slipped away to follow Saracyn into the feast. Manea pulled the string on the bag and it fell away from the gift inside, revealing the carved piece of crystal that had been shaped to look like the castle which Manea had described for her talented daughter. It glimmered in the light that filtered in through the windows, but she told them, "It's quite stunning in direct sunlight. Perhaps sitting on a window sill or on a balcony." With that she stepped back as well, adding, "Congratulations again, you two. I'm looking forward to seeing what your marriage will bring into the world." She pulled Alastor away, finding a place among the crowd to enjoy in the festivities and the feast.
"Manea Mendacium"

Rudyardhad lingered after the wedding for a bit with others of the family for a more personalized time with them before eventually heading out with Fern into the reception area. There was so much joy at the wedding, and everyone’s good emotions seemed to vibrate in the air itself, one person’s joy carrying on to the next, at least for the most part.
Rudy was in his element of good cheer and was happy to chat with anyone who approached with a few jovial words. Rudy leaves Fern’s side for a moment, coming back with a plate of stew and a few sweet candies put on the side. “Calm on Fern,” Rudy said with a bit of laugh, “No rush, enjoy yourself.” She seemed stuck into timing things perfectly.
She decided there was a good chance to go see Art and Briar and Rudy shrugged, scooping up a blanket wrapped around an object he had made of his own. Let their main gift be what Fern had so thoughtfully made. Still, he had something for Art though he thought Briar might just be interested in it, maybe. As he listened to Fern explain the gift she got them Rudy acknowledged again she had a great way with words for expression. Rudy used words to convince and draw people in but Fern had a way with words for lifting someone up.
When she was done showing off what she got, Rudy put down his own present. His version of a wrapped gift was a blanket tossed over the item. It was a sword rack, made for two swords to rest in velvet and hung on a wall. One spot was made for Embershard, the name of the sword etched into the dark wood. Below it was a spot for a much smaller sword if one could call it that. In that spot of velvet was a simple stick. Rudy had spent a good bit of time finding a stick that resembled the one Art and he had gone out to find in the willow trees.
There was no name for the stick but instead an extravagant picture of the weeping woods. Rudy had described the spot best as he could do to the artist. Where had the tree’s been next to each other and the water flowed? It was a rendition of where Art had first met Briar and found his stick.
“My version of a bit of the past and now the future. You two remember that spot I imagine?” Of course, they would remember first meeting up but funny how some times being asked a question made it snap into place all the more. Rudy put his focus then on Briar, “I’m sorry for whenever my brother gets to be a bit too much of a workaholic. Sometimes he’s a real bore and overly serious. He forgets how to laugh and have fun.” The words started off sounding formal but there was a wicked teasing grin on his face towards the end as Artorias got to listen to his faults, at least by Rudy’s view.
