it's fine to fake it 'till you make it
Starlight gathers soundlessly through the shrine, first gilding the candle flames and then spilling between them in ribbons of lilac and silver. Safrin steps from their glow as though she’s been waiting just beyond it, her expression touched by a smile meant privately for Flora before her gaze shifts to Kaisel and offers him one of his own. Her attention lowers to the altar. Slender fingers trace the curve of the mother-of-pearl comb without quite touching it, lingering over the stones before moving to the silver bracelet and its tiny galaxy of opals. Pleasure warms her features, unmistakable and radiant, as she looks between them again.
"Many would consider asking a goddess to assist with both an engagement announcement and wedding plans rather gauche," Safrin muses, a catlike grin beginning to curl across her lips. It widens by degrees, all celestial amusement and delighted vanity. "But I approve of the drama." No doubt they’d already known as much. They’d certainly come prepared to ask with enviable confidence.
Safrin considers their request for a moment, her gaze lifting towards the stars beyond the shrine before she inclines her head. "All right," she decides. "Here is what you must do."
Flora/Kai have been given a quest! They must
1. Decide what will be written in the stars
2. Capture starlight (interpretation up to you)
3. Capture 2 shooting stars (interpretation up to you)
