[Ditto Quantum]

Insanity.
Such a pretty word actually. Ditto said the word clearly and slowly "In..san..i..ty", and smiled. Sitting in the cover's of Tarothin's bed, she glanced a tray of partially eaten food from the evening before. Her smile widening, her gaze slowly swept over the the blanket, observing assorted fruits and food stains all around her. Leaning over to the tray, Ditto dipped the tip of her finger into a saucer of whipped cream. Leaning back against the pillows, she brought her hand up to study the cream for a moment.
"If last night was the beginning of insanity, then I will just have to suffer through it." With a contented smile, she licked the cream from her finger. Hearing footsteps, Ditto looked at the door, hoping it was Tarothin, coming back to join her in bed. Her hope turned to disappointment when there was a knock on the chamber door. "Come in".
One of the servantwomen opened the door, peeked in, and seeing that Ditto was covered, opened the door wider to allow Nia'lar, an apprentice of the Order of the Dragon, her father's guild, entered the chamber. Waiting until the servant woman left and shut the door, Nia' spoke in a near whisper. "I am here to help watch over you and help with any plans you have for tonight's event".
Pleased and happy that her friend could be with her on what people said was to be one of the happiest days of her life, Ditto grinned. "Was this father's idea?"
Nia' shook her head, and quietly said, "Nau. It is my own."
For what remained of the morning, Ditto spent the time catching her drow friend up on recent events and the plans for the evening wedding.
The two sat on the polarbear rug in front of the fireplace, and Ditto was rambling on about certain specifics about the ceremony, with Nia quietly listening and nodding.
"It's actually called a Binding ceremony I think. A small one. It's still a wedding but the bride,...that's me,...and the groom,....that's Tarothin,....get binded with a ribbon. Well....Tarothin says we can use a ribbon instead anyway. And then we get tied up and...just our hands though...our wrists..to be more precise. And then it gets cut...umm..the ribbon, not our wrists. That comes later..."
Nia's brow went up in curiosity, "You cut your wrists later?"
Ditto looked over confused, "What? Oh, no..not our wrists. Our palms. Our palms will be cut. And then...."
The two sat together for an hour more until it was time to go find Aless and Cat.
Tonight was the wedding. All were invited by postings at taverns and delivered invitations. It would be wedding binding Law and Chaos, but more importantly...binding together officially, two hearts.
