It is! She should probably kiss him some more, after.

What a great idea.

Apparently they are both really good at producing those. Possibly they should be doing this somewhere less visible than their petal-dropping point, but meh, he has a point about not giving a fuck what other people think.

He really does. 

After a while they should go somewhere else though. There's not caring what people think and there's attracting a crowd.

Yeah, that would probably be bad. They can make their daring escape and then go make out elsewhere.

What a lovely way to spend the day.

It really is.

They have a planned marriage, if not a socially acceptable one; they tell not just Marillë but all of both families, and they have a going-off dinner to celebrate a trip out to the coasts, and they come back from the trip married, and no one says a word.

(Some people say words. But they are not worth listening to, and they are not listened to.)

Ahyadacil would not be inclined to listen to them even if that was an inclination she normally had! Marriage is really distracting, in the best possible way.

More than advertised, even! They spend almost a Year away from the city and are still pretty regularly distracted once back.

Luckily there is nothing that's really problematic to be distracted from! They need to build a house--about a day's travel from Tirion, as they discussed, on the same side of the city as his parents' house--but that's not really urgent.

They get to it at a delightfully unhurried pace.

"I'm glad that went as smoothly as it did," Marille says at one point to Maitimo of their siblings' marriage. "I was sort of concerned I was going to have to annoy him by inviting you all to the dinner behind his back."

"I really try not to be so annoying that that much subterfuge becomes necessary!"

"Well, it certainly seems you succeeded! And, you know, people are talking, but not an unreasonable amount."

"As long as the two of them are happy and not getting into brawls in the streets, it doesn't really matter."

"I don't think Ahya has actually done that before."

"Good for her! I will consider myself a triumphant brother-in-law if she continues never doing that!"

"Although now that I think about it it's not out of the realm of possibility if someone decides to commend her on luring your brother away from his...old habits...or something."

"Tyelcormo usually manages to politely agree to disagree with people who object to his ...choices."

"I think she would actually be less offended by the part where it's insulting him for it than by the part where it's complimenting her for stopping it. An insult at least admits that the speaker and recipient are on opposite sides of a thing."

"Point taken. Hopefully people will courteously forget all about malicious rumors they've heard. Or at least have the decency not to start conversations about them."

"That would be nice. Or at least have the courtesy not to bring them up around her."

"I will at least wait to resent their silliness until they do something silly, how about that. How are you? Not missing her too much?"

"She's not out of osanwe range, which is the important thing."
