Well, had she known? It's a very odd thing to consider so long after the fact. In the moment, swept up in Adrasteia and Alexandrie's support and enthusiasm, it had been quite easy to have all manner of opinions. What must be eaten, what must be had for drink, that music and dancing was required, and all the silly little things that must be seen to. It hadn't been her intention to be so specific (after all, it wasn't meant to be a proper wedding or a proper marriage), and yet how easily she had been induced into a state where she had allowed herself to be.
"Well yes. I suppose I did know." How odd. "But I can't say that was the purpose of having been to say many. It was more of a— a social obligation, I suppose. Or at least, that was my impression of them at the time. Pleasant ones, to be sure. Or at least the dancing usually was. The ceremonies are all almost quite universally dull in my experience."
