(( Wedding summary! ))

Modified version of the script and a photoshoot that actually happened the day before the wedding. :3 Because my computer is not quite buff enough to effectively two-box with the graphics/resolution turned up really high.

IMAGE HEAVY

Seol looks around, then inclines his head deeply to Abelar and nods at the others.
Seol looks at Astrolabe.
Astrolabe smiles at Seol.
Astrolabe takes a stick of incense from the box Abelar carries. Seol does the same.
Seol and Astrolabe kneel before the shrine to the dead.
Seol gently places the incense in the ash of a small censer. Astrolabe follows suit; Seol watches her as she lowers her head.
Seol leans back, tilting his head to look at the sky.
How many people lived and died...?
Astrolabe looks at Seol.
Seol stands.
How many people lived and died?
How many skeletons are there under our feet?
Seol sighs.
How many bodies created the earth we walk upon?
Astrolabe tuts, watching Seol.
Many, many. Hundreds of hundreds of hundreds.
Seol lowers his head thoughtfully.
So many people died to give this world to us.
Seol looks down at his hands.
And many people suffered and died so that we could live...
Seol turns to the others.
It is impossible for us to know if the Light is healthier for our actions, or if we hurt it...
Astrolabe places a hand on Seol's lower back and rubs it gently.
Seol smiles at Astrolabe, then looks at the group again.
... But I think it is possible for us to help the Light... to make more room for happiness in the world.
If we are careful and gentle, if we remember all those lives... I think we will be able to understand a little.
Seol takes Astrolabe's hand.
... Together, we can figure it out.
Astrolabe smiles shyly at Seol, then produces a blue Skettis poppy from the folds of her dress, reaching up to carefully pin it to Seol's collar.
Seol then reaches into a pocket of his own robes and takes out a small plum twig with a pink-and-white blossom; he pins it to Astrolabe's collar.
They smile.
