[spoiler]alright, fair enough. One last part, though.[/spoiler]
As they stood there, finally united, Kaebius approached Monica, and Tulleesh's mother approached him. Both of them were helding a small, simple-crafted pendant, made of wood. Tulleesh took it, and put it around her neck. He explains to her.
"The simple craftsmanship symbolizes that love is always born of simple roots, and no matter how ludicrous the union becomes, the simplicity of our love will never change."
The pendant was beautifully made, with obvious care and attention. They were old, too, she could tell, no doubt passed from generation to generation.

-
She tenderly held it in her hands as it hung around her neck. "It's beautiful... thank you." She kindly thanks Tulleeshs mother.
-
Kaebius holds a similar necklace for her to take, and put around Tulleesh's neck. She could figure out it was a symbol of avowal, of union.
-
She looked at her father, glowing with happiness, and at her mother, who couldn't stop crying it seemed, her eyes puffy, but smiling all the while. She was married now.... married..."
-
The night moved on, celebrations pursued. They had a big, mighty feast, full of good wine and delicious meals. Then, they had more traditional Dorn ceremonies, like the Battle for the Royal Guard match beginning. Then, near the end, the dance. Many people had already left, tired or sleepy. The dancing floor was nearly vacant. Except for Monica and Tulleesh, who slowly danced hand in hand, clutching each other as they moved to the slow rythm of the soft music. "So..." Tulleesh started, softly. "How do you feel now, your highness..?"
-
"I feel... happy. Happy I'm here, with you, and that this is my future." Laying her head on his chest, she continues to dance, just closing her eyes.
-
He has a chuckle, she can feel it inside his chest. "Well... now we can have kids, like you always want. Though first, we'll need to plan out honeymoon... I wonder where we will go..."
-
"Oh there's so many beautiful places... too many choices..." Monica says wistfully.
-
"We could visit the rest of the castles... even the ones on the other worlds... Monica, I have so many things to show you... I'm so happy you chose to do this with me. And now that you have accepted my blood... well, we're complete. There's no other way to say it."
-
"I could never dream of doing this with anyone else... I'll go wherever you go." There's a twinkle in her eyes as she looks at him.
-
"Maybe you can show me around places you lived, that influenced your life. I would love to know more about your past..."
-
"Oh I'd love to show you... that's a great idea!" She say with excitement growing in her voice. "My uncle Ryker's house, other stuff like that... oh it'd be so fun.."
-
"I can't wait to see it, my love. We'll have to visit your cousin, too. Weren't you glad to see her come to your wedding? Coming out of hiding for her family... very nice of her. And she brought her girlfriend... didn't think she would be swinging that way." He says, chuckling. "But, I won't blame her. If it makes her happy, I'm glad for her."
-
"Oh well.... Alexia has always been interesting. I was worried when she exiled herself away..." Monica notes, glancing over at her cousin, happy she had come out to see Monica.
-
She was sitting at a table with Yusa, holding her hand softly. They were laughing heartily. She saw Monica's glance, and waves at her, a bright smile on her lips. "She got herself a nice woman... and I got you. The nicest woman of them all... I'm blessed, you know. Thank you for putting up with all my crazy stuff..."
-
"Your crazy stuff? I love your crazy stuff... it makes you unique, who you are... and I wouldn't want it to go anywhere." She kisses him, her husband.
-
He kisses her right back. "And now that you won't age... we can be together forever. An eternity of crazy stuff..." He smiled, warmly. "It'll be a wild ride."
-
The thought of not dying made her stomach clench. Immortality essentially... it was... remarkable. "Yes it will be... interesting to not age." She laughs, she wouldn't have to worry about those age lines on her face.
-
"Well, it's not completely eternal. It's just very, very, very long. My father... he's tens of thousands of years old. He will be alive still when our grandchildren have children of their own. Usually, a Dorn marries late in his lifetime. I married you fairly early... I'm only one or two centuries old."
-
[i]Centuries...[/i] The thought shattered her mind, he appeared so young, obviously due to the vampirism but still it boggled her mind. "No wonder you're so smart... you've had hundreds of years to gather knowledge.."
-
He smiles a bit smugly. "Yeah... that's about it. Consider it a head start." He chuckles. "A hot, sweet, handsome vampire man, knowledgeable, smooth scales, and ribbed for her pleasure... you really hit the jackpot, didn't you?"
-
After she giggles a smirk appears on her face. "Oh you have no idea..."
-
"I can't wait to put babies inside of you..." He says, with a smirk. "Mantorok has been waiting for that for a while... as you can guess, she doesn't really like contraception."
-
Monica blushes at the sultry words in public despite no one being able to hear them. "Well... better not keep her waiting."
-
"Indeed... now that you've absorbed my blood, I won't have any reason to hold back... oh baby, we're going to be fuсking like rabbits..." He had a sultry chuckle.
-
"Honey! We are in public..." She turns crimson as a laugh escapes her attempt at scolding him.
