Fantastic Generation

"Wait... so... that was the ceremony?" Zephyr's eyes widened considerably, and then smiled, visibly pleased. "So... we're married now? That's... that's great!"

"Mhm! Sorry I didn't really tell you, but you responded telepathically... I wanted to, I just..." Elasia stopped herself and grinned, "Oh! You're happy, that's good!"

"Of course I'm happy!" Zephyr laughed and kissed her. "Marrying you has been a wonderful dream of mine!" He was beside himself with glee. He'd just married the most beautiful, amazing, and loving woman in all of the world. He was definitely lucky. "I'm lucky that you saved me... if you hadn't, we might not have met."

"We would have met eventually, maybe under different circumstances." Elasia laughed, he was so excited and hyper, "I'm so glad that you are, I wasn't sure how you'd feel..."

"No, I'm very, very happy." He wrapped his arms around her in a warm hug. "I was planning on proposing, but I hadn't bought a ring yet... so I guess there's no more need to propose..." He chuckled a bit to himself. "Maybe... when you're less sore, we can go to the Jeweler's and pick out a ring for you!"

"Are you sure? It's not too expensive right?" Elasia shrunk, she didn't want him to spend so much on a ring for her, she was fine without it.

Zephyr smiled and shook his head. "I've been setting a bit of money aside just for it... do you not want a ring?" He asked, unaware of any customs they might have had. He was pretty oblivious. "I-If you don't, then it's alright! You don't have to have a ring!"

"I want a ring, I just wanted to be sure that you were... alright." Elasia hugged him, "We can go some other time, I'm in no hurry..."

"Alright, well... whenever you feel like you want to go." Zephyr smiled nervously, he wasn't sure what the customs were for wizards. He sometimes felt like a fish out of water. "Alright, well... I'll go get lunch for you! I'll be right back!" He smiled to her and kissed her gently on her lips before getting up to walk out.

Elasia blushed a little, even after revealing herself to him, he still made her blush in a way no on else could. "Okay... see you soon."

Minutes later, Zephyr came back with two bowls of warm soup and a smile. "Here you go!" He set the bowl in her lap and sat down beside her. "I'm sorry that you're still sore!"

"A little bit... but it's so worth it." Elasia grinned, "I wonder where we go from here."

Zephyr shrugged. "I... don't know. You could live here with me... unless you would rather us live in the castle with your parents..." He gulped. "I've never been married before... so I don't know. Maybe we're supposed to take it a day at a time?"

"I guess so, and if we have a baby that could be interesting, we'll see how it goes I guess." Elasia's hands were a little shaky, "I'm going to have to go see my father for a little while today to tell him... he won't be angry though! In fact, he might just try to kick Rylen into shape!"

Zephyr laughed a bit. "Maybe... Rylen if kind of... goofing off instead of looking for a wife. Hasn't your dad been complaining about that recently?"

"Yes, because he wants to retire to some other castle with mom and give the castle to Rylen... I don't know, he's pretty upset lately." Elasia seemed cheerful about all of that.

"Oh, I see!" Zephyr shook his head a bit. "Rylen... is he even trying? I haven't spoken to him in a while."

"He's not really... he's supposed to partake in training to make a pink gold ring for his destined lover, but he really hasn't done much of that either. He and Jyrdon are... womanizers."

Zephyr laughed. "Has your mother found out yet? I imagine it wouldn't go over well with her..."

"I think Claire knows about Jyrdon but... Rylen? No, I don't think mom knows." Elasia giggled a little bit, "He needs to pull it together doesn't he?"

"Yes... before she finds out. I can imagine your mom being a greater force to be reckoned with, rather than your dad." Zephyr ate some of his soup while thinking. "Also... he's hurting himself only. If he waits too long, maybe that girl for him is getting married... he might lose her. Your dad said he was almost too late finding your mom too..."

Elasia nodded, "It's very easy to be too late sometimes... I met you young, so that helped." She frowned suddenly, "We can only hope he'll meet that special someone while flirting."

"Well... he certainly is meeting a lot of women that way. I'm just scared that he met her and ignored her... as if she weren't to his tastes." He sighed some. "Gah, that idiot."

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Elasia frowned, "I hope he didn't miss her but I have a feeling he hasn't missed her... yet anyway."

"I guess so..." Zephyr nodded slowly. "I hope he hasn't. I don't want him to grow to regret anything..."
