Akumu waited up at the alter for Nia, a soft exhale slipping through his teeth as he held his hands behind him.
Dei-Loki and Malvo sat together in the same row as their parents. A smile forming on Malvo's face as she leaned back.
"Gods, I don't think I've ever seen him this nervous..." Dei-Loki commented, Malvo grinning.
"As t' be expected on such a big day. Think he'll be able to stomach cake after the major anxiety is through?" Malvo asked, Dei-Loki snickering.
"Have we ever known him t' ever turn down cake? That's like uncle saying no to pastries. It's unheard of." And, after getting a quiet chuckle out of Malvo, Dei-Loki then glanced back to Masaru and the others - whom had been seated behind them. His ear having slowly lowered as he quietly asked; "How y' holding up?"
Nia took in a breath, brushed some hair out of her face before turning around the corner. And walking down the isle.
