Mulan could tell John was holding a strong facade for his people, while she respected it she was taught to let her emotions out. Lest they bubble and become a hindrance rather then a advantage. "My Prince if I may how do your people celebrate wedding we elves have different practices for them and my parents said we'd be following both traditions. I just want to be prepared for whatever comes my way I rather know about it now then make a mistake later on" she said softly as to not harm her voice for she was planning on surprising him later with on of her melodies as a pre-wedding gift.

Pocahontas glanced at John Rolfe. He seemed to be hiding his feelings again, and she didn't consider that a healthy thing. "It's okay to show a little emotion, John," she said. "I know how painful it is to lose a parent, you know. My mother died when I was very young. Kida hardly remembers anything about her." She paused for a moment, wondering if she was getting too personal. Luckily, Mulan changed the subject to something happier, which Pocahontas was grateful for. Talking about wedding traditions was much better than talking about parents' deaths.

John breathed and smiled"In this kingdom we celebrate weddings with the bride 's ceremony, it is her day and she chooses everything normally- ''he'd note"My Kingdom has selected Handmaidens too help you with that, usually a before and after party is thrown.. the last wedding I went too was the Duke's.''he'd note."Flowers, doves, gorgues white gown for the bride.''he'd remember."I was a kid though then.''he'd speak ,looking abit like a kid now with the way he talked- he did like parties.

"Interesting in my kingdom it is a hand fasting ceremony but like your traditions we have parties but its more like a week long. Often the bride and groom exchange gifts of things they make or show off a craft they do well. Like for instance as a singer one night I could preform a song for you." she said with a pondering thought.
"Elves marry for life and since we generally have longer lifespans it works to be honest though we don't see too many human and elf ceremonies so I'm not exactly sure what occurs since well...when Elves marry our magic intermixes generally. We try to pick people who have elements who are harmonious to us. I for instance use predominantly wind magic because of my skill with a sword it aid my abilities. if you were an elf and used the same kind of magic we'd be told we'd have a balanced marriage as generally wind magic user either use it as offense or defensive." She said as the wind gently picks up around the three as they walk."One of the reasons you don't see a Elf who specializes in Fire magic marrying a Water magic user they generally clash and it can cause disharmony in the relationship"

"Sounds like your traditions are a bit closer to how my tribe works," Pocahontas commented. "Our parties can last up to five days in a row, sometimes a week depending on how big the ceremony is." Crowning of a new chief, or chiefs in Pocahontas and Kida's case, was one example of a huge ceremony where the party afterwards lasted for a week. It was the most Pocahontas had ever danced at once, and her feet had ached for days afterwards. But it had been really fun too. She listened with interest to Mulan's talk of magic. Being a witch herself had always made her fascinated with all types of magic, even with other species. Elves were specially good with it after all, since they had centuries upon centuries to master spells and incantations.

John looked very confused as he lightly ushered Pocahontas forward"Can-you help plan this?"he'd ask lightly , looking at her.his form nervous. inching inwards twoards his past friend even he looked abit perplexed, his eyes narrowed too the ground abit as well as he bit his lip , he looked in thought as his form wriggled lightly , he was still hungry"Perhaps we should go to eat first before any planning?"he'd wonder. blinking lightly.scratching his brown hair gently he wondered what his kids will be , Half elf? Half human, he sighed deeply, in his family no elf had married either-he was unaware if they had Hybrid kids.

"Eating sounds lovely my Prince" Mulan says softly as she smiles softly at John. She knew this marriage was going to take some getting used to for the both of them. Especially for her as she didn't know anything of life outside the Elven palace. Too many nights being scolded for trying to sneak out to see her people taught her to control her more curious nature. She was honestly really nervous around John not really sure how to act around him so she was thankful someone was with them who had a similar background as she had growing up.

"I'll see what I can do," Pocahontas replied, smiling at John Rolfe. Even though she had a lot of responsibilities these days, she was always willing to help out a friend in need. And helping to get a wedding together was certainly something that needed to be done. Although Pocahontas would have to brush up on how exactly people in the kingdom and elves performed wedding ceremonies so she could get everything right.
"Sounds good to me," she replied. Food inside the palace was always interesting to try. Pocahontas loved it, even though it was pretty different from the food she ate back in her tribe.

John breathed a soft breath , his form relaxing now."Then My ladies, and Fiancee-..''he'd add. "Shall we?"he'd ask lightly headding down the way; now, his form gently stepping with pride.even though he did mask his feelings, and rather well- Pocahontas may be able too tell his hidden secrets all too well.

Mulan giggles and leans into John just a bit as they walk towards the dining area "This will prove to be interesting given my rather...lack of experience as far as food is concerned should be interesting to see how this works in your kingdom my Prince" she said with a smile at him relaxing a bit seeing as food was on the way. She was excited for the wedding even though it was a couple months away she sorta actually got along with John. Then again this is their first meeting so who knows what tomorrow might bring.

Pocahontas was still overjoyed to see that John Rolfe and Mulan were getting along splendidly. And it was only their first meeting to boot. Pocahontas couldn't wait to tell Kida all about it, although she wondered for a moment if her sister would care. Kida wasn't much for romance and marriage, although she, along with Pocahontas, knew that having a queen would strengthen John's power. Especially since she was an elf and had many years of wisdom behind her.
