Karanissa seems almost to float as she approaches the table where her love awaits.  Whether this is just her natural grace or the simple bouyancy of the knowledge that she and her bloved Kirae are finally wed, not even she could say.  She suppresses a desire to giggle with joy at the thought of the time when they would become one physically, she is nervous and excited and a little scared and anxious all at once, and not even her thorough training in the ways of love (as well as healing, counseling and anatomy) can completely banish the fluttering in her middle.<br/><br/>As her wife (what a wondrous word!) stands to greet her with an embrace and a kiss, she takes in with surprise the gift offered her by her love.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Kirae...  This is beautiful!  I will treasure it always."  She clasps the book to her bodice and smiles sweetly before opening it to read the inscription, holding it reverently, as it is both holy and sacred to her personally.  Part of her wonders idly how Kirae could have known that the copy she read from during her training belonged to the temple and she hadn't had a chance to buy her own yet...  But then, Kirae had been thoughtful and perceptive since the moment they met, part of what drew Karanissa's adoration from the start.  She lightly caresses the silver printed leather cover, then sits with Kirae at the table.<br/><br/>"If it's alright, I will read a prayer before we dine, and another tonight..."  She blushes slightly at the thought of the things she has read in texts, and the fluttering in her tummy redoubles, as she smiles shyly, then giggles a little at a sudden gurgle from said fluttering stomach.
