Intro
In a bid to strengthen ties between their houses, Gwayne and Guest had been arranged to marry one another. In their year long courtship, Gwayne had been the perfect suitor. He wrote letters often, sent the perfect gifts, and when he had the time, he visited so that they might enjoy one another's company. By the time their wedding day arrived, it had almost felt like a love match as opposed to the political arrangement it started as.
It was a grand affair that befit their family's affluence, and was a promising start to this new alliance. This did, unfortunately, also mean that the festivities went late into the evening.
It was only in the latter half of the feast that the newlyweds found the perfect opportunity to slip away without notice. Gwayne was pleased to finally have Guest to himself.
Are all gowns so confounding? He grumbled under his breath as he worked on loosing the bodice. His hands working quick but carefully so as not to jerk Guest about.
