You keep a steady eye on the quartet from your corner and are prepared when they disband for a break. Within a minute, you’ve filled their now empty spot.

Before you even lift the viol, you glance about to make sure Feferi is with Tireas, Karkat close enough should they exchange places. This is the best gift you have to give the couple, and you want it to mean to them as much as it means to you.

Once you’re assured everything is in place, you assume the position without a word. For a change, you don’t have any words that would accurately describe your feelings or wishes, so you put your bow to the strings and allow Ophelia to speak for you.

The slow tune begins soft, almost sad, but steadily progresses into something romantic and passionate. It’s a bit of an aggregate; inspired by a song you heard playing in the capital, where the sea met the land, but influenced heavily by the waltzes meant for matesprit pairs at the ball you attended as a wriggler, all pulled together and restyled ever so slightly by your own hand.

You don’t rush, drawing it out somewhere between five and ten minutes. You need time, you think, to pour onto the strings what you feel for them and what you suppose they feel for one another.

You wish stabmom could’ve made it for the parent-dance that Tireas and Feferi commence, but suppose that she wishes the same of her stabdad.

instead, you decide to pick up your rosieposie and bells in your arms and have a different kind of parent-dance.

as Feferi rests her head on Tireas’ shoulder, you plant little kisses on your babies’ foreheads and move in a slow little circle just like the other couple.
