[se] tell me about the colors up there

She's the light in a dark room
She smiles with her eyes and it'll hold you

Leaning closer, personal space a long-distant memory, Evie watches the pathway begin to take shape in controlled sketch lines she could never hope to emulate. "I can do any floral arrangements myself. Maybe string some supports from here to here for trellis-style hanging flowers?" Clever fingers neatly avoid his drawing strokes as she taps areas on the paper to better describe her idea. "Maybe wisteria?" A personal favorite of hers, though they weren't exactly conducive to things like bouquets.

"Refreshments, appetizers, and a dance floor are the only things a successful Halovian celebration needs," she agrees around a grin. They'd be the stars of the show for all of twenty minutes before the party would inevitably turn into its own self-fueled monstrosity. A timeline she thinks Deimos can feasibly suffer.

"I only told Alys after she accidentally realized." Telling Hadama is a little harder given the distance, and it feels quite egotistical to write a letter solely devoted to informing him of the news when they don't even have a date for him to reserve yet. "If it's not too soon, I think marrying in Flowerbirth is very symbolic." Something they could surely accomplish with how small the ceremony itself will be, but still a topic of debate. She doesn't want them to feel like they're rushing because of the impending threat hanging over their heads - but is that not also a valid reason to do it?

Grinning and biting back her laughter at his clear reluctance to indulge Hotaru's visions, Evie twirls her pencil between her fingers. "White is traditional for the bride in the Grounds, I think floral embellishments on the train or gown would be nice but nothing too overt in color. I do like colorful suits if you want to wear something like that?" The beautiful, layered pieces Noah and Cordelia had worn may be traditional, but would certainly be sweltering within the greenhouse. "As for the decor, I think leaning into the natural colors and greenery of the plants is best. Browns, greens, a few jewel tones. Something more varied than just one or two chosen colors." And, preferably, more natural-style decor itself.

She's a bullet that's about to fire
And she's the steady that will keep you sane
