It is somewhat like his design for Summer Wind's original wedding gown: individual, unique, and almost perfect. Kanu realizes that he lacks the talent for arranging music that Master Sun Son has been blessed with. But he does seem to have a gift for weaving together aspects of disparate cultures to produce a harmonious and balanced effect. The people of the Central Kingdom expect him to be practically a barbarian. Fine then, he will do something "primitive" but with finesse and refinement.

Kanu is very glad to be so thoroughly married to his wife, yet now that he is no longer employed as an Arcane Academy guardsman, the commute being prohibitive, he feels a bit at loose ends. Playing the part of a world-weary courtier, as Silver Fox is amusing himself doing, doesn't appeal to the young man from the South. What does inspire him is the blending of his song with Summer Wind's by the maestro. No one else knew it for what is was, of course, but it was unbelievably apt and beautiful.

Maestro Sun Son officiates at this union, and, ridiculous though it may be, this does much to make Kanu acceptable in the opinions of the snobbish. The pair share honeysuckle wine, drunk from either side of a V shaped glass goblet with two mouths but only one base. It is a much more sober and solemn celebration than those of the steppes or savanna; there is no singing and the dancing is extremely formal and ritualized. Son of the Sun, however, plays the mingled songs of Kanu and Summer Wind.

In the land of Summer Wind's birth, brides, if they can afford it, wear gold for luck and prosperity, and the Silver siblings have invested their wealth wisely. Therefore, this wedding dress is of palest yellow, decorated lavishly with swags of golden cord. Many eyes, unfortunately, look askance at Kanu's dark skin, here, where pallor is equated with nobility. Neither the bride nor groom particularly care, however, and no one dares question the taste of the mage and Princess of the Dawn Gate.

Silver Fox, once the fighting was over, became bored with the intricacies of governance, and went back to the family mansion in the Capitol City in order to establish himself as a languorous young courtier. Hence, the timing of the change to Central Kingdom foreign policy is perfect for Summer Wind. Since her father was a prominent citizen there, the young woman is the logical choice to send to the Imperial Court as an ambassador. She and Kanu set out immediately from the town in the Hills.
