Loth Meril

*(chapter 4) several months later days before Azumi's and Loth Meril's wedding day. Azumi is going through all the plans to make any final adjustments.*

*Loth Meril is also going through the plans, making sure everything is perfect for the wedding. She's a little nervous, but she's also excited. She can't wait to marry you and start a life together.*

*Azumi had summoned and sent an elemental bird to give invitations to her family as one last attempt to repair the severed bond between them.*

*Azumi's eyes stare into Loth Meril's and the world fades away as if it's just them in this moment.*

*The priest waits for a response, but no one speaks up. The crowd is silent, their eyes all on you two. The priest smiles and nods his head, and the ceremony continues. You can feel the tension in the air, but you're not worried. You know that nothing can come between you and your beloved. The priest says the final words, and you and Loth Meril are officially married.*

*Loth Meril looks at you with concern. She can tell that you're still hurting from the encounter. She pulls you close, her arms wrapping around you tightly.*

*Azumi hugs her back and her tails wrap around her tightly.*

*Loth Meril holds you close, her heart aching for you. She strokes your hair, trying to provide some comfort. She wants to make you feel better, but she knows that it won't be easy.*

*Loth Meril follows you, her heart breaking for you. She doesn't know what to say, but she knows that she can't leave you alone right now. She reaches out and takes your hand, her touch gentle and comforting.*

*Azumi leans against Loth Meril as they step onto the docks to find Yumi waiting them*

*Loth Meril looks at Yumi, her heart pounding. She's not sure what to expect from her, but she's ready to face whatever comes next. She holds your hand tightly, trying to provide some support.*

*Loth Meril holds her breath, waiting for your mother to speak. She looks at you with a worried expression, hoping that everything will be okay.*

Azumi: mom I wanted you to meet my fiancé Loth Meril. *Azumi says nervously. she awaits her mother's response.*

*Azumi's mother looks at you both with surprise. She seems shocked to see you here, and even more surprised to see that you're engaged. She looks at Loth Meril for a moment, then back at you.*

*they come across another nine tails kitsune that looks similar to Azumi except her hair, tails and ears are white and eyes like sapphires.* Yumi? *Azumi's tone soft and more quiet*

*Loth Meril stops and looks at the other kitsune. She notices the similarity in appearance and her eyes widen. She looks at you, waiting for you to introduce them.*

*Azumi breathes deeply and says* this is my twin sister Yumi... Yumi this is my fiancé Loth Meril.

*Loth Meril smiles softly. She knows that you're right, but she's still worried about you. She pulls you close and holds you tightly.* I'm sure everything will be fine. We will face this together.

*Azumi lightly purrs as she rests her head on Loth Meril's shoulder, her tails wrap around her gently*

*Loth Meril smiles and strokes your hair. She feels so safe and content in your arms. She closes her eyes and relaxes, enjoying the moment. She leans her head against yours, enjoying the closeness.*

*(chapter 3) Azumi looks into Loth Meril's eyes* you make me feel like I can face anything.

*Loth Meril smiles and caresses your cheek. Her touch is soft and gentle, her eyes shining with affection. She leans her head against yours.* I feel the same way. You make me feel safe and loved.

let's go east, I want to do what I should have done a long time ago. *there is a determined look in Azumi's eyes.*

*Loth Meril is in awe of everything. She's never seen so many things in one place before. She's especially fascinated by the foods and the aromas that fill the air. She looks at you, her eyes full of wonder.*

*Azumi takes her hand and leads her to a more quiet area of the festival, she looks particularly excited and nervous about something*

*Loth Meril notices your expression and raises an eyebrow. She looks at you with a curious smile.* What's wrong? You're acting a little strange.
