they will shake their heads and wag their fingers
by daybreak we'll be gone
Bastien was due to be wed.Every so often, he had to think about that and take a moment to breathe. Once upon a time, he would have laughed at the idea, so sure he would never want to partake in such a traditional show of commitment. But now that he had Rexanna, everything in him wanted to jump on the rooftops, sing out to the people: I love this woman! Look at her! We will be each others forever and this world will do nothing about it!
He wondered why he had never seen the chance for dramatic theatre a wedding was. Now that he had seen the opportunity, he was not going to waste it. This was going to be the most beautiful wedding ever.
So he set aside all other artistic endeavours and decided to work only on decorations for the event until the day. It would be evening, in Deepfrost, so some kind of light would be needed, as well as bright decorations and ornaments for the surrounding area.
Bastien was cutting out shapes to become folded stars and spirals, to hang from trees and catch the light - he painted each with a swipe of his brush, giving it the appearance of shifting and changing. Humming along with his thought player (which played a half-remembered version of a wedding song) he was totally wrapped up in his work.
