"I'm respecting her wishes," Aron replied. "I'm not going to force her to do something she doesn't want to do."

Sileas had seen her uncle had returned alone. She shook her head sadly. "It doesn't look like it. Uncle Aron went to get her but came back alone."

Wulfsen frowned, he knew Sileas was disappointed that her best friend wasn't there.
"Wait- maybe you should try talking to her?"

"If you're going to get her go and get it over with." Bai said impatiently. "I might need magic for something more dire than a wedding someday so if we could wrap this up today..."

A not so friendly thought passed through Sileas's mind as she left the hall, trailing behind her aunt and uncle.

"Millie! Yoohoo!" Widow Calm called to the seamstress from a few rows back. She was dressed up in one of the dressed Millie had made for her before the village was raided, a bright red dress. Apparently her granddaughter was not with her. "I love the bride's dress!"

Millie blushed, embarrassed by the outburst. "Excuse me," she said to her parents before getting up to go to speak to Mistress Calm. "Thank you very much. I thought it should reflect the bride."

Sileas sighed but didn't respond. She simply moved ahead of Millie and Yehudit and headed back to the hall at her normal pace.
The gloomiest wedding guest followed Sileas into the hall.

Sileas wanted to get married. She wanted to be Wulfsen's wife and she was tired of waiting. "All right. Give them five minutes, then finish. As long as they won't be injured."
