Arcaea/Dining Hall Late 08-09/Edara and Jenred's Royal Wedding/King Jenred's Tent

After making his initial announcement, Jenred slumped in his chair for a moment. He could scarcely believe it was finally happening. He'd promised all those years ago to manage a tournament for the wedding...A bold claim for a new infiltrator...And it had required that he become King before he managed it. All the delays, all the problems...Save for that damnable war with Ethiala and Papania...Everything was going to plan.

Which, of course, just made him even more paranoid and jittery, but that couldn't be helped.

It was time to find Edara...She would be able to calm him down...And probably...Hm, maybe over with the tumblers? He'd have to see...

Sir Jenred Bedwyr King of Arcaea

The days leading up to the tourney had been so hectic: so much to organize; so much to do; and, always that feeling of…would it be delayed…yet again?

Then suddenly…here they were. The Tournament Grounds open--her Tournament Grounds. Edara looked around proudly. Most of the vendors were in place, with a few still straggling in and setting up. Every kind of thing was available…silks and arms and pies and jewels and leather goods…and the entertainers! Heaven!

And blessed Gods above…she was getting married.

It was really going to happen. They had talked about it for so long…planned it…delayed it…Edara had almost come to believe that they would never wed, but just go on as they had been. Which, that in itself was quite lovely, but…something about…being married. Telling the whole world that this man—the most glorious man—had chosen her…she hugged herself in joy.

Alone for the first time in days—well, she looked over her shoulder at the ever present body guards, as alone as she ever was—Edara made her way towards where the entertainer’s tents were set up. A large area had been set aside for their practice, and she wanted to see the tumblers…maybe she could learn a few new tricks. She reckoned that Harmony would be along this way shortly as well. Edara had seen her cousin briefly, but had no time to stop and chat just then. Harmony had indicated her desire to see what Players might be here and suggested that they meet in that area. Interesting that she had been wrapped around Arlian at the time. Edara had not seen that coming. Maybe Jenred had; he was much better at people than she was.

Oh…and there were the tumblers. Edara leaned against a fence rail and watched them running through their routines. Oooh…wasn’t that something…
