"But don't worry, I'm sure you'll manage to make it up to him somehow. After all, you won't know anyone in Yooudah, either." "True," Brin said, "I hope that they'll accept me. Oakenlings tend to be reclusive, so we have that in common." She smiled. "And I have Hawkeye's approval, if nothing else." "He's a good man, my daughter, and an excellent companion for you. I'm pleased. You chose well. You'll be happy together," the older witch predicted. "You think so? Good. I think so, too."

"Yes," Brin answered dryly, "I'm well aware of that. It's very odd having a large wedding when you are, as you put it, 'a bit on the shy side', you know." "I know," Ynarra responded to her daughter's teasing, "but endure in patience. You'll survive." The bride snorted. "At least I'll have Hawkeye by my side.

"You merely need a little practice interacting with more people," the older woman told her. "Not that there's anything wrong with being a bit on the shy side. You're my much beloved daughter exactly as you are." Brin squeezed her mother's hand lightly in mute reciprocation of the sentiment. When she spoke, her voice was slightly huskier than normal. "I mustn't tear up, Mama. My eye makeup will run." This time Ynarra chuckled. "I doubt Hawkeye would care, but there are a lot of guests."

"Speaking of things being arranged, you're aware that I knew from the beginning you were setting me up with Hawkeye, of course." "Of course. You've always been a clever one, Brin. But, truly, all I did was give you a perfect opportunity to bond with him, if you should choose to do so," Ynarra replied. The bride's smile grew a bit more tender as she thought of her soon-to-be husband. "You're very wise, as always," she laughed, "and I only wish I had half of your ability to read character."
