[center][sub]Interacting with: [color=6ecff6]Lord Coswain[/color] and [color=bc8dbf]Persephone[/color] [@PrinceAlexus][/sub][/center]

[color=lightgray]Katherine couldn’t help but smile listening to the couple’s story, her eyes flicking between the two of them as they spoke. It had been a while since she’d seen true love. Not married together for political reasons or power, but for actual love. 

A slight tightness rose in her chest for but a moment, but long enough for her to recognize it; envy. Not out of malice or ill-intent, but envy nonetheless. Katherine had spent most of her life so far away from any sort of relationship and only in recent years had enjoyed some more carnal desires. It was fun, sure. But there was an emptiness to it after her partner was gone the following day. A longing for more than something casual. A longing to wake up to someone every morning that she could give her unconditional love and trust.

She returned her attention to the conversation once more, the warm smile never having left her face. [color=19CACA]“It seems like you two have been through a lot together. It’s truly admirable to witness such love and devotion to one-another, our Lady of Silver would be proud.”[/color]

Katherine stood from her chair and paced over to one of the open crates in her quarters. She gently moved a few things aside and placed them on her bed before letting out a content hum. The priestess retrieved a surprisingly humble, leather-bound book branded with a crescent moon on its front. There was no title upon its cover nor any indication of its author. Returning to her seat, Katherine flicked through the pages while remaining present for the bride-and-groom-to-be before her. 

[color=19CACA]“I will be the first to admit that I have not performed many wedding ceremonies in my admittedly brief time as a priestess, but I will do my best to ensure that everything under my control is executed to the best of my abilities.” [/color]

Her heart fluttered nervously at the admission. She hoped that the Lord and Lady wouldn’t mind her inexperience in such matters.

[color=19CACA]“I also understand if you wish for me to send for a more experienced clergy-member to perform your wedding rites. However, if you will have me, it would be my greatest honour to arrange such an important day."[/color]

Katherine briefly returned her attention to the book in her hands. Her eyes scanned over the words before her, in her own hand-writing. Notes of Lunarian wedding customs and several different prayers to Seluna filled the pages in an organized manner, a manner fitting of a student in study. The notebook had been her entire world during her studies at Moonrise Sanctuary. These notes would be instrumental for this wedding; It had easily been a year since she’d participated in a wedding ceremony, and longer since she’d been the one to organize one.

[color=19CACA]“As we are reminded daily, our Lady’s light and blessing is not limited to the temple. Is this wedding something you want all to witness, or would you both prefer a more private ceremony? As well, I can see if the tavern would be willing to prepare food and drink for after the wedding.”[/color]

[color=19CACA]“Please do not feel pressured to make these decisions right now. You can let me know of your desires at anytime, the temple is always open to you.”[/color][/color]
