Named after the shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral Eclogues. The Greek word amarysso means "to sparkle." In Victorian times, an "amaryllis" was a strong, confident, and beautiful woman.
[she squeezes aerith's hand when she takes it. also she can notice the ring karlach is wearing if she wants just because they're holding hands but karlach is fully locked in on this conversation.]
No kidding, that's a huge fucking thing! [a beat.] I mean - congratulations? That's so fucking impersonal, ugh. I'm glad. Even if it's a lot. You've got a chance.
Well, and I'll be selfish, I get to see you again.
[that makes her laugh at least because impersonal or not, it's fitting.]
Yeah. I get you, it's...I mean, what else can you say to that? It's been such a thing hanging over us and now there's an answer. I can't say I won't be glad to see you again either.
[she says, absolutely noticing the ring.]
Especially since I should maybe be looking forward to a wedding?
Honestly that's the most important thing, that you've got an answer you can do something with. Better than the question mark at the end of the sentence.
[happy emotions!!! because even if it turns out that they get dishrag ghosted or whatever, they still have her.
also, that gets her to fluster slightly.]
-- No! I mean. It's not really an engagement thing. [aaaaaa] It's just a promise. Which Lucas told me is the same thing, but you know. It's less big.
[which makes her feel... a lot of things. all at once, overwhelming.]
However it works out. [a beat.] If Lucas bullies me into doing a wedding I'd probably ask you to do all the bridesmaid things, yeah? I don't think he'll get that out of me, but it's more the sentiment.
[because she loves aerith and is glad she met her :uweh:]
[me running to find the yeehell catchall and seeing it's nat's and therefore locked still. pain.]
Those are important, I think, especially in times of uncertainty. And sometimes it might feel like a lot to accept it, but...I'm happy for you. Really.
[there's a laugh to that thought.]
I'll be the best bridesmaid you've ever had! You really think Lucas isn't gonna win that argument? [the energy really is just :shibebutfaster:] Even if it's not an official marriage or whatever you might call it, it's the sentiment of being devoted to one person. It's hard to replicate that once you know what it really feels like.

she picks up on the flustered emotion though and she grins a little wider.]
It's still kinda the same thing, Karlach. But it's very sweet. A promise to stay together?
