She loved parties.
She loved them so much, it was all over her face. Literally. Messy pinks and purples stained her pale maw as she burbled happily to herself, thoroughly lost in the haze of fermented produce while muttering about lovely couples and little children and the impossible beauty of holy matrimony.
It was only Amaranth's touch that stirred her from her stupor, swaying gently as an even broader smile stretched at her lips.
Valeska leaned forward to give her mate an affectionate lick on the cheek, and leaned just a little bit too far to one side as her tongue lolled and she missed her target entirely. She kissed the air next to Amaranth's shoulder instead.
It was time. It was more than time. The fantasy of living out blissful retirement, being able to travel the world without constantly fretting about home and the state of it - well, she'd still do that too - but the freedom to come and go as she pleased, the weight of responsibility firmly upon another's shoulders!
Standing up on shaky legs, Valeska grabbed another mouthful of fermented berries.

It didn't take long to find them.
Valeska wobbled closer to their silver and gold silhouettes, a dangerous look in her eyes. She looked positively ferocious when she was instead trying to look serious and determined, already setting the stage in a way the twins might perceive... less than favorably.

Yeth,she slurred in response.
I mean - yes.

Let'ssss go.

AMARIS!she bellowed.
AELIA!

WE MUST SPEAK.
