Illiana shifted uncomfortably in her clothing. "Yes..." she muttered. Gods, she'd been hoping to avoid this, but it had come to it. "I know of...of a pack. It is large. About eight wolves, not including the leader. They would help us...they would help another people-wo--lycan," she said, keeping the second piece of information about her particular history with this pack private. It was a sore part in her life that she liked to keep locked away.
"We can go there tomorrow...if you want, and ask them. It's a half days journey at least," she said, part of her hoping he'd decline and she wouldn't have to see Akantha again. So before he could answer, she slipped round a dressing wall in her room and started to changed into her bed clothes. She kept her fire on all night for warmth, so usually dressed rather scantily for sleeping but since she had visitors she pulled a shawl around her just-above-knee-length white chemise, hoping that the linen wasn't that see through.
She came out again and avoided eye contact, waiting for the inevitable answer.

Katherine was, in one word, terrified. She had never been so frightened in her life; not even the first time she'd flown on Atlas. She was currently in her room standing before a body-length mirror, nervously watching Aurinda and a few other maids fuss about her as they got her ready for the wedding. Katherine had given them permission to see her face- women saw other women's faces in Oceana, it was only the men not permitted to see- and was silently studying the beautiful makeup they'd applied to her, softening her lashes and making her silver eyes that much more striking. Her hair was curled into a wonderful, elegant yet messy bun, with a jewelled comb to hold it in place; she had gone without her princess tiara, as the wedding would serve as her Queens Crowning as well. Her dress was long and to her feet; a dark Raven-black and tight to her waist. The bottom was sheer with lace patterns and black fur trimming the bottom. Her shoulders and chest were bare- this made her slightly uncomfortable, but she would learn to deal with having her body on show- and she wore a diamond necklace which hung at the nape of her neck, along with a choker, a Ruby studded in the centre. Her oceanan scarf, the one she had chosen to take with her into her de-scarfing- as the oceanan people called it, the removal of the scarf, the revelation of identity- was of a soft black sheen, ever so slightly sheer but no where near enough to reveal her face. It shimmered as though a night sky with many stars gleamed upon its threads. She glanced sideways at Aurinda as the women finally finished their touches and ensured that she was laced up tightly enough at the back into her dress, then they watched with 'oohs' and 'aahs' as their soon-to-be-Queen took a few tentative steps, lifting the skirts of her dress slightly in order to move about, her elegance in the gown akin to that of a black swan. She reared her head to gaze at them with intense moonlike orbs. 'Am I presentable?' She asked, her voice gentle and modest. Whisper raised her head from where she lay on Katherine's bed. The young dragoness had been groomed to perfection, rare white fur and feathers with a glistening sheen. Around her neck hung an obsidian collar to match that of Katherine's choker, also studded with a ruby; she wore black bangles around her wrists and ankles, her wings adorned with a matching black cloth to Katherine's scarf. It would drape loosely as she walked, almost like a cape. (( pin.it/dU_cNDp Best I could find for Katherine's wedding dress. If I could draw better I'd draw it rofl.))

Aurinda beamed as she assisted Katherine in preparation for the wedding. She had gotten up fairly early to get herself ready before hand. She wore a flowing crimson dress that wrapped over her left shoulder and clasped with an obsidian ornament at her shoulder. The fabric then draped down over her left arm in a sort of half-cape. The dress faded fitted nicely about her torso and flowed about her slender legs. She as well wore obsidian bangles, quite similar to Whisper's and her raven hair was done in a messy bun, similar to Katherine's own, her jay feathers hanging down behind the bun to add a splash of color. Though Aurinda hardly shown in comparison to the princess, soon-to-be-queen's beauty. Aurinda had been mostly in charge of Katherine's hair and makeup, having done it in careful strokes and light flicks of her wrist. Katherine was a beauty with now her beauty shown even more radiantly with the subtle touches Aurinda had added. As they finished she did a slight adjustment of her jeweled comb and then nodded quietly in satisfaction. "More than presentable my lady, you are a vision of grace and regality." She told her with a smile as her hands folded gently before her once again. Aurinda then shooed the other maids out and turned to smile to Katherine, offering her both her hands for comfort. "I will be at your side the whole time. If anything happens just look to me." She told her with a gentle nod and a soft smile on her lips. Aurinda brushed back a stray strand of hair then, tucking it back into place, "Do you need me to get you anything to eat or drink quickly?" She asked gently then, looking to the princess as an elder sister would to her younger. (It's so pretty!! Here's basically Aurinda's! pin.it/X2A4nGq Without the belt and a bit shorter on the arm!)

Katherine relaxed a little at Aurinda's words and nodded her head, eyes crinkling slightly as she smiled beneath the scarf. 'I will. Thankyou.' She walked towards her. Since Katherine had no family to give her away, her handmaiden would be the one to do it. This was normal and respected in Oceanan society; a mother would give away a daughter, a father his son. It was equal on both sides. She knew already Aiden had permitted this of Aurinda, and Katherine felt much more at ease with her homely traditions being allowed. 'And no Thankyou to the food;' she glanced at a clock. 'We should get going, the ceremony should be ready to begin.' She lifted her dress and began to walk, Whisper taking up her place behind the woman. They left the castle, Katherine's head raised high as groups of soldiers began to form around them to lead the three females through the streets of Varezi, cordoned off to allow pathway to the large cathedral which would be where their ceremony was held. Whisper held herself with pride and grace this morning, which Katherine was thankful for. Usually the dragoness was excitable and silly. Soon they arrived at the cathedral; she climbed the stairs, keeping herself steady and her breathing calm, before taking Aurinda's arm as they entered the hall. On either side were the nobles of Varezi, lords and ladies and their families, and some invited soldiers from the military. She shivered with fear and glanced at Aurinda for comfort, then cast her gaze to the ceiling. Multicoloured light filtered in through the stained-glass roof, depicting the Ancients worshipped in Varezi all standing around the volcano, as large black and red dragons burst from the crater, appearing to be entwined in some ritualistic dance. She released a shaky breath and walked still, her footsteps all but silent.
Morcan glanced behind him and felt a grin spread across his lips, before elbowing Aiden playfully. 'wait till you see her,' he whispered, teasing him with excitement in his voice. 'She's beautiful.'
