A Very Nexus Reception
To all the friends of the happy grooms, PINpoint messages have already been sent weeks ago inviting them to expect quite the street party arranged in the commons of the Nexus. Guests have been invited to bring an appetite--both for food and for a social adventure. Nirnish weddings are public affairs, after all. While the ceremony has had to be somewhat sequestered for the sake of keeping the existence of Other Worlds a secret, neither Felix nor Jim would want to leave out their interdimensional friends entirely. Having a reception party arranged in the Nexus became the natural plan of action.
Overnight large sections of the Commons are transformed via diligent craftsmanship and quite a lot of magic from those who’ve volunteered. Lanterns representing the Divines are hung along every lamp post, bringing at least the idea of warmth even if the flames are too small to heat their surroundings alone. Bardic tunes carry in the air as readily as the scent of food and drink. Past banners of red and black, blue and white the people gather.
For both grooms this is nearly a continuation of the day before. They’ve had the chance to sleep off the nerves of their ceremony. Today is entirely for celebration--uninhibited celebration at that. No more minding what is said and isn’t. No more pretending to be anything other than who they are. Jim’s traded out his Nirnish finery for a suit and tie, garments he’s much more familiar with. Felix is staying with his native clothing; though he may have dressed down a little from his wedding clothes, the conjurer’s dressed in fitted breeches and his best fur-trimmed coat and boots, the soft hide dyed blue to match his tunic. By their side sits the conjurer’s spectral wolf familiar, ears pricked at the gathering.
As the guests find their ways over it will be easy to spot their friends amidst all the decor along with many other avenues with which to enjoy themselves….

"It is real good. We did it, we actually got away with it." This time Jim's laugh is full of nervous relief. One that tapers off when the plant is hefted up and brought out to face them both. In all the hurry Jim honestly hadn't paid it much attention until now. It's for them?? "Sweet! Felix loves eating random plants!" It's for science, Jim. For his alchemy? Well, it's not untrue in any case.
"That's a real--" Jim steadies himself and takes a breath. He wants to get this right. "Seriously. That's...thank you. We've been doing a lot of that together. I'd be happy to try my hand at learning somethin' new. Though Felix will probably have to take charge of it."
A gift they can enjoy together? Jim's honestly really touched. The emotion shows uninhibited on his face with how drunk he is, too. He grips Harrow's arm and gives it a couple pats before turning to see how Felix is taking this.

"I..." Wait, what did Jim just say? "I do not eat random plants. I sample those that seem alchemically promising." Hmf. (A touch of deja vu, here: another conversation, years ago now, half-serious verbal posturing as Jim introduced him to Harrow.)
He swallows then, shifting the plant to one arm so he can touch the glimmering tip of a vine. "It's a magnificent gift, Harrow, truly-" to say nothing of the seeds rattling in those packets. Felix doesn't realize the grin that's crept across his face. "You've given us the start of our own alchemy garden here."
