so live a life you will remember."
Olive still wasn't entirely sure she'd heard right. Torram... married? And a father? Was he even old enough? Olive shook her head. Of course he was. She was too - had been for plenty long enough now, and didn't she have a child to show for it herself? At least Sapphire'd been smart enough to pick a decent man. She sighed, shifting on her seat as she eyed the bustling bar. She hadn't been able to spare very long - enough to sign her name on the dotted line - and she was dying to interrogate Torram further, as she knew the twins were doing at that exact moment. She popped up a little too quickly when Sapphy returned, making it rather obvious she'd been keeping an eye out for the other girl. Pinkening in embarrassment, she gave Sapphire a rather awkward smile and pointed towards the kitchen doors.
"You'll find them through there," she said. She hesitated a second, then blurted. "I'm Olive. W-Welcome to the family."
She gave a slight bow, and turned back to the register, mentally asking herself why she'd just done that and if she could possibly be any more awkward.
Luckily she wasn't the only one in the family capable of awkwardness.
"You're really getting married?" Cypress asked eagerly, pinning Torram with an intent gaze. Torram wiggled uncomfortably in his seat, sipping at his tea. "And you've already got a baby on the way?! What's she like? How'd you meet? How come we never met her before?" Each question - delivered in a rather good-natured tone - was followed by a poke on Torram's arm. He cleared his throat.
"Well, erm, we don't really know each other that well yet," he admitted, ducking his head a little to avoid Jacopo's eyes. He gave a sheepish little smile. "But I think you'll like her. I hope you'll both like each other."
"Awwwwww," Cypress said, only half-sarcastically, punching Torram on the arm. How could she be mad he was starting a family? Her first confession hadn't even registered with the boy she liked. All-in-all, it really wasn't fair, but what could she do?
"Married? And she's pregnant? Better you'n me," Alder muttered, shuffling his deck of cards, right as Sapphire walked in. He winced, offering Sapphire an apologetic grin.
"Hi!" Cypress said, unabashedly studying Sapphire with great interest.
"Hi," Torram repeatedly a little shyly. "Um, this is Jacopo, Cypress, and-"
"I'm Alder, and I'm also a complete idiot so please don't hold it against me?" Alder offered.
"You met Olive, and there's also her daughter, Effie. This is... my family," he hesitated, peeking at her. "I got the papers, and Olive's signed already. We just need your signature, and another witnesses."
He looked at the pen on the table, rather than his surrounding family. "Jac?" he asked. "Would you mind?"
Cypress tsked in disappointment, ignoring the way Alder rolled his eyes at her.
TORRAM
these are the nights that never die
