 ...Has anyone else noticed the fireflies? They're a little big, though...

And they're putting flowers in my hair. ...I'm not sure if I like that or not. It's kind of nice, I guess.

Anyway...congratulations again, you two. I'm really happy for you both. ...And I hope there aren't any interferences. 

And Raine, I heard you and Colette talking about you staying here. Of course I don't mind, if that's what you want to do.

We should discuss this as soon as possible. I need to know a few things really specifically, or it could...screw up.

Would you like to help me make some of my curry for the wedding? Stella requested it, and it was only so good last time because I had your help.

...They're asking about Arietta. I don't want them to worry about her...but I'm not sure they should know she's like this, either.

You never came for that tea, you know.

...I think I'll be okay in a crowd, as long as there's somewhere to sit down afterward. Even with two people, that much magic here is draining.

If I could help you figure out what to say, I would, but I don't really know either. ...'Congratulations' might be good, though?

I'll make sure the two of you are well taken-care of. It doesn't have to be overwhelming, though ... and maybe we can get these pixie-things we've got around to help?

Ah, that's okay -- thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

The light spirits are willing to cooperate. They like Stella. Besides, we don't know how long these other things are going to be around.

They do? That's not a big surprise, really. Were it not for the occasion, I'd have gone to her in the first place.

You're right, of course. Despite what they're doing, I'm not certain if I trust them yet, either.

...What gets me is that the Malnosso might've sent them. ...And then I start wondering whether they're going to let this wedding happen.

Agreed. On the other hand, I don't see why the Malnosso wouldn't let it happen, just as they've allowed others to pair up. Truth be told, I'm under the impression that ceremonies like weddings and funerals are all about the symbolism, anyway -- no one gains any extra power it. Despite Stella's remarkable ability to work with the spirits, neither she or Senel put themselves in the spotlight, unlike some of us, so they're not a threat. If anything, they'll be interested in seeing what becomes of such a union, as so far it's unique among us. I just hope it won't put them in danger.

...Caesar, that's worse.

Perhaps so, Sheena, but I'm sure the both of them are well aware of the risks involved. It may be symbolism, but to the two of them, it's terribly important symbolism, and we as their friends have no choice really but to support them, and try to keep them from harm if it's at all possible.

At least, that's what I think.
