[And with that being sent, Charlie's going to be running around town to her various wedding planners, checking on things and seeing how things are going. Feel free to catch her almost anywhere.]

Comments

[sangreine]

[Saya's in the room Charlie so graciously put her in, sitting on the bed (which she made the best she could, she's not really used to these things but she made an attempt!) and looking at the pretty paper left for her.]

[She smiles at it, traces over the designs with her finger. Then the turns it over. She can't really read it, but it's so beautiful that she's just admiring it for now.]

[charring]

[Charlie's mildly flustered when she arrives home. Flustered. Annoyed. But that's outside bullshit thanks karl. So she leaves it there. Home is her refuge and she has someone to check on.

When she knocks on Saya's door, she's accompanied by Gwaine, the long-haired daschund puppy and Petrichor who just wants to be where the people are. Like The Little Mermaid only more fir and less being in water.

Anyway. Knock, knock, Saya. Charlie's at your door.]

[sangreine]

[A sound! She knows that sound, someone wants to be let in. And so she rises, smoothing out her dress as she proceeds to the door. After one false start with turning the knob, she opens the door.]

[And just lights up to see Charlie there with the cutest little animals! Saya claps, looking from Charlie to the pets, seeming unable to decide which to greet first.]

[charring]

[That's only two of several animals. Charlie also co-owns a hedgehog named Sonic with her friend, Howard. And there's Phantom, the silver fox. Hypnos, the eldest cat, is cranky and hides in her cat tower in the living room. Don't pay any attention to her, Saya. That cat likes Arthur the best.

Charlie grins at Saya's reaction, crouching to pick up Gwaine who is eager to sniff the new persons hands. He's a puppy. He licks and tries to play.]

Hi. You okay? Did you get my note?

[sangreine]

[Ahh cute little animal! Saya squeaks delightedly when he licks, and she pets his soft fur.]

[It takes a second for her to connect Charlie's words with the pretty paper, but Saya finally does.] Note! [She rushes over to the bed where she'd placed the invitation and brings it over, hugging it to her chest like a precious thing.] Note! Pretty. [She didn't remember that word until she said it, but now that she does she looks even more pleased.]

Pretty. [She points to the note, then to Charlie.] Charlie, pretty!

[charring]

[Oh, my God Saya you are the most precious. Charlie grins at her, nodding.] That's right. Note. Well. Invitation really. I'm getting married and I'd like it if you were there.

[sangreine]

Married? [Saya looks at the paper, then back at Charlie, wide-eyed and entirely unaware what that word means. But it sounds impressive!]

[charring]

Married. Yes. To Merlin. [The guy that Charlie shares a room with. Gwaine whines slightly, wiggling and trying to get to Saya more. Apparently, he wants her to hold him now.]

Wedding. Big party, lots of love in the air. You're invited.

[sangreine]

[Saya opens her arms, ready to take the critter if he wants. She looks at him a bit oddly for a moment, but it passes quickly. Maybe she's just not used to animals.]

Party. Love. [Saya's expression softens, she knows those things. Those are happy things.] Charlie, happy.

[charring]

Very happy. [And Gwaine snuggles right in, yawning. He will be asleep in a few minutes, most likely.]

Saya. Are you feeling up to helping me with a project?

[sangreine]

Help? [She brightens up instantly, thrilled with the idea -- but then the doggie gets stuck in her super-long hair and her lips purse in irritation as she yanks her hair out of range.]

[charring]

Yes. H--oh, Gwaine. [Here, let Charlie help untangle that. She looks at the hair for a moment, considering grabbing hair ties but she's not sure she has enough. Plus, she buys the cheap ones that break easily.]

Saya, do you want a haircut?

[sangreine]

[Haircut? Saya takes a break from untangling the pup to look at Charlie, perplexed. A little help, here?]

[charring]

[Okay. She can read that look. She holds her hands up and makes a scissor-like gesture at her own hair.] You know, haircut. I can make your hair shorter.

[sangreine]

[Ah! Saya's eyes light with understanding, and she nods vehemently! Her free hand makes the same scissoring motion, up close to her head. She wants it very short, it seems.]

[charring]

[Charlie's grinning again, clearly proud of Saya. She learned quick. Or possibly remembered quick. Whatever it was, it made Charlie happy.]

Short. I can do that. You'll be happier with it short, I'd imagine.

[sangreine]

[Indeed she looks much happier at the idea!] Charlie help -- [She "scissors" at her own hair again,] and Saya help. [She doesn't know what Charlie wanted yet, but it's a deal! She nods, firmly.]

[charring]

Okay. Sounds like a deal. I have something for the wedding I have to finish making. It won't take long.

[It's in the kitchen. Charlie tilts her head, a gesture for Saya to follow her, before she starts down the hall again. On the table, instructions and equipment needed to make and fill these. Charlie's wedding was in Xanadu so these seemed the most appropriate. And there was a very large bottle of bubble solution and some small funnels.]

Sit down.

[Gwaine, for his part, has passed right out and is snoring away, having dreams about whatever puppies dreamed of.]

[sangreine]

[Saya plops into the chair, looking rather awed at all the things on the table... and entirely blank as to what they might be.]

[She holds one of the funnels up to her eye and looks through it.]
