I spot a happy Aelynthi skipping over to me and a 40cm fairy flying behind her. The fairy has violet hair down to her back, she is wearing a white one piece dress down to her calves, the dress covers her arms and is wide sleeved towards her wrists. When she flies over closer I notice her wings have a violet tinge with silver sparkles and then I focus on her mesmerizing silver eyes, as I am staring at her eyes I am woken up by a painful pinch on my arm. I look down to see a displeased Aelynthi, the fairy laughs at this. I decide to get revenge for the pinch. I grab hold of Aelynthi and kiss her on the lips for a good 10 seconds. This seems to surprise Aelynthi and not only her, but all the onlookers are surprised at this turn of events. When I let go, Aelynthi is red and I feel incredible shyness and some worry from her, of course she does not push me away but is now hiding in my chest.

"Bastard, not that status." Oh, what other status do I have? I shrug, there is not much of difference, she probably did not want to share just yet due to shyness. Oh, I forgot about her mother. Her mother's reaction to this information will not be positive. The 40cm fairy is looking on with great interest, I address her with telepathy.

"Aelynthis friend I presume?"

Violet haired fairy smiles and says: "She called me just a friend? I practically raised her. I have been her teacher her for years now." Alright, so how does this fit in together? Well, I have no idea how long the war was and during what age she was taken care of by this fairy so I will leave the questions for later.

"I am Anton Ippolitov, Aelynthis... boyfriend."

"Just boyfriend? She seems to have fallen for you... sorry, impolite of me." She does a graceful curtsy. "I am Viola Silvercloud, Princess and first in line for the throne of this fine forest"

"You raised her? For how long?"

"20 years, we still have more to go. She is young and has a lot to learn. I heard from her that you are from a far away land?"

"I agree she has a lot to learn, especially about the word no and boundaries. Yes, I am from a far away land."

Viola turns towards the group of elders, says a few short words and turns back to me as they leave.

“How long have you known Aelynthi?”

“A couple of months. We met by accident and then got into a little of trouble but I got us through it. How many people will be visiting you for your important day? Any elves from Brypeiros?”

She ignores my questions and looks at Aelynthi who is hiding in my chest.

Viola: '····························'

I am pinched by Aelynthi as Viola laughs.

"You are my fiancé." When did I agree? I am unable to say no to her... Does that mean I agreed?

Aelynthi: '·····························'

Viola: "··························································" I am pinched multiple times this time. I guessed Viola would tell Aelynthi about my comment but not immediately.

"I know you are afraid of the future, afraid of commitment but it is too late now. We shall make the best of it. I am yours and you will be mine." I think she likes to proclaim herself as mine... Viola looks at us with interest bordering on suspicion, did she want to see Aelynthis reaction? Why?

Viola face loses her smile as she says: "What are your intentions for Aelynthi?"

I speak to Aelynthi: "Your teacher seems to be suspicious of my motives in our relationship."

"I am a child in her eyes, my words about you were empty air to her." I guessed something similar.

"Well at least she seems to care about you. How can we resolve this situation without this escalating?"

Aelynthi says something to Viola: "······················································································································"

The result of Aelynthi words have gotten a good reaction alright. Viola has a staff in hand and fairies are flying towards us from all directions.

"I said not escalate, I did not say escalate."
