ooooooo. I think that would be awesome!

Parade the humans in fancy clothing and then throw them in the dank dungeons.

For now Solfrid will act kindly(cause Aziel is present and he could spoil or prevent things? Or is he being nice to humans as a joke? Humans almost killed him so he could be wary and keeping guard while pretending to be aloof?) while they dine, after she can have humans escorted by npcs(?) to "their rooms" aka dungeons where they will stay until the ceremony where marriage plans are revealed to the public. Some lesser fae might find about this later on but be powerless to do much, while I am also hoping to test Gwyneira's loyality to Solfrid with this decision.

P.S. Would it be okay to present humans at ceremony as guests who kindly offered to put on a show in honor of faes and symbol of redemption for fae-human war? Like Solfrid is pretending to build bridges with Night Fae, so might as well pretend that humans can be thrown into mix while actually caring about them a little and wanting to get rid of them even before the soulmark thing-just cause they don't belong. She can showcase it as "kindly shipping humans back to thier realm".

P.P.S. I am seeing potential for solo conversations Aziel and Solfrid once again if he wants..? Dunno ^^""" Solo conversatin with Gwyneria. Kinda solo with humans in the dungeouns where she can poke at them some more if you want/think it would help establish your characters.

About conversation with Aziel I am not too sure what about, but I just want to know if he is going to be a problem yet(he surely will later on) or he will just let Solfrid do this ceremony thing.

Aziel saw the mark appearing on Caite, he was going to be pretty mean to them because of their history but the mark means a bond to Aether so he put that together pretty quickly and would rather try to protect Caite and not have Aether get mad at him when he finds out lol

A solo conversation with Solfrid is fine with me ^^

Anyway you want to present them works out

Aziel will be protecting Caite by questioning every time Solfrid wants to take her or just any reason for Solfrid to be around Caite so he'd be a problem that way, definitely later on way more obvious

How will Solfrid throw them to dungeons then ^^""? I don't think it is in her interest to challenge him.

Though I think it is very neat he knows already :3 I guess Solfrid won't see it yet or..? Does all fae know about Soulmarks or only some?

Sorry for all the questions .-.

I think it's only something that happens to Illyrian's, so not even everybody in the night court would care/know about it. Aziel would know because he's Illyrian

Solfrid wouldn't know because she's not illyrian and hasn't spent time in the night court so wouldn't have even heard about it yet ^^"

She could just do it anyway, all Aziel would do is "Where are you taking her? 😑"

"Hmm... fine 😑"

He can't make Solfrid mad at him either, because Aether's still marrying Solfrid yknow?

He's more protecting her in the sense of.. not letting her die. If she got hurt, he'd probably be like "Cool! 😃 A new battle scar!"

Aether would slap him for it but that'd be his reaction xD

I'm cool with a solo conversation with Solfrid and Gwyn, also lol testing her loyalty will be interesting XD

Gwyn does have complicated feelings towards both Aziel (respect and adirmation; maybe a small crush has been forming??), and the humans as she distrusts them but is willing to be civil even friendly if they prove not to be a threat (in her eyes). Top that off with her role as spymaster and having vowed to serve Solfrid, even if she doesn't always agree with the high lady haha

So I just about died from laughing. My one older cat that only likes being held on his terms, though does take getting smothered with love, was growling while I was holding him, making him take the love, and my one dog that this cat does not typically like started barking at me getting after me for being mean to his friend.
