At the docks, then out to sea, Sunday

[vdistinctive]

The colors from the previous days were still holding, if maybe slightly more muted, Fandom's magic slowly fading but still managing to hang on for another day.

Seemed like a good omen as any for a wedding that Eliot still couldn't quite believe was happening.

Eliot's boat wasn't big enough for all their guests so they had "rented" (long story) a well-appointed yacht for the day. It was docked in the Port of Fandom, waiting for all the guests to board. Once the last person had crossed the gangplank, it sailed almost to the edge of the island, where blue water lapped with gray. Eliot's boat was already there, anchor down, Hardison in a tux, playing around with a sound system.

A few minutes to futz with mics and the speakers set up discreetly around the yacht came to life. "Testin'...Testin'..." Hardison murmured. Good. Everybody would be able to hear the ceremony on the second ship.

Looks like it was time to begin.

"Aww, you flatterer," Nana said, chuckling. "Like I could hold a candle to Parker today. And those girls standin' up with you. Oh, they're just lovely. You must be very proud."

She knew Hardison was. He bragged about Raven something fierce, his protege who walked across the nation to save her best friend.

"Couldn't be prouder if I'd raised 'em myself," Eliot agreed. "Hopin' we're gonna add a whole slew more of 'em, down the road." He gave her a knowing look. "We've got a hell of a heritage to live up to, after all."

"You know, you ever need someone to baby-sit, I'll bestir my old bones to come love on my grandbabies somethin' fierce," Nana said with a broad smile. "As for heritage...y'all are just as strong and brave and generous as anyone's come before. Y'all make me proud every day."
