Cress sneezed and Heron turned to her, "You okay?" Heron asked and Cress nodded her head. "Someone's probably talking about me," she joked as Heron's holo went off again. Cress was keeping her excitement in check, she was very ready to receive Aya, wondering how different it would be from the Aya Cress knew and was friends with. She was of course, distressed that it wasn't Kora inside of her own body, that once again, she was forced to take on the personality of her sister, but maybe being with her friends would help Kora slip back into her herself? "Stupid," Cress murmured to herself. It wasn't like her to overthink these sorts of things but to be honest, Cress was nervous.
"Did you say something?" Finnely asked and Cress shook her head. "Just talking to myself," Cress said, scooping up a handful of dirt. "What are you planting?" Heron asked and Cress showed her the saplings the store in Coriandrum had pregrown to make growth a lot faster. "These are called hyacinth, they're pretty and they kind of look like cattails." The reason Cress was only planting edible flowers was due to the fact that she was afraid planting vegetables may cause citizens to fight one another to have them. "I'm keeping the edible and non edible flower separate, I've labeled them too, and am not planting anything that could potentially harm kids going through phases of putting thing in their mouths that don't belong."
"I can thing of plenty of things that go in mouths that don't belong." Heron winked and Cress groaned, punching Heron lightly in the arm. "Come on, there are kids around." Heron shrugged, getting another call. She went a little bit away, around the corner and out of sight. Cress was too busy gardening, a small smile on her lips as she hummed an earthen tune while Heron went to greet Aya. By the time Cress spotted the buttery blonde hair out of the corner of her eye, Heron already had her lance out, no doubt subtly threatening Aya. Cress stood, brushing the dirt off of her legs and walking over. "Aya!" Cress called brightly, her fiery eyes gleaming with happiness as she ran over to her friend. Her knees were a little shaky as she stopped and Heron sidled by her side, wrapping an arm around her waist.
Cress wondered if Heron was doing it to support her, or just to put on a show since Aya was here. "I'm so glad you could come, we can use all the help we can get." That was a lie, they were working much faster than expected with the sheer amount of knight and citizens who had volunteered, but Cress figured saying something like that would make Aya feel important since Kora had always had some sort of inferiority complex that made her want to be needed. "We're planting hyacinth here, but they're very delicate." Cress grabbed a pair of gloves from the box, handing them to Aya. "These are to protect her hands since you don't want to get dirt under your nails." Especially considering that the soil they were using was rich in nutrients, derived from compost.

Nee had her speech prepared, she seemed ready to take on the day so Shiro got up and got dressed, the two of them eating breakfast before it was time to head out to the crowd that had gathered in the front of the palace, only held off by knights. The news stations had come, reports with cameras to stream to holos all over the world. Shiro squeaked in fear, she had to leave Ellis behind so that the people didn't think she was unfit to be queen and had tucked her pacifier safely in the dress she had picked for herself, a nice gown the color of cherry blossoms and her little crown that sat upright on her head. "I'm ready," Shiro smiled, taking Nee's hand. They were a union after all and would be married soon.
Nee asked if some of the servants were already calling her Queen and Shiro nodded her head. "Yeah," Shiro confirmed. "The ones that Wren trained." How was Wren doing? Shiro would go check on her after the speech was made. Hopefully her blue haired friend would be feeling much better and would be able to sit up and move. It was lonely without her and even though she had dropped in dinner the night before, Corren had yelled at her outside the door to get back in bed since it was too early for her to be up and moving around wit her extensive injuries. It was Shiro's fault wasn't it? Wren had taken a beating for her and had suffered because of her. Nee promised she wasn't a bad girl though, so Shiro wouldn't go down that spiral, not yet at least.
Then it was time. Shiro took a deep breath, letting go of Nee's hand and walking a bit behind her. Shiro felt her heart flutter anxiously, her palms felt sweaty and she felt nervous and unstable. There was a crowd, a very big one and the pup whimpered, trying to keep herself in check. Her knees shook as she took her place a bit behind Nee, close enough to be supportive, but far enough that the certain of attention remained on her. Shiro put on a pleasant smile, going into servant mode to flicker off the thoughts in her head. Shiro felt a tiny drop of warmth between her legs, but managed to keep the rest of it in like a big girl. She was a big girl after all, she was Nee's big girl and there was no way that Shiro was going to let the crowd get to her this time. She used her training, since it seemed to be useful for this at least, making her mind blank and simply remaining with a pleasant smile, trying to appear as supportive as possible.
Was it the best speech Nee had ever given? No, no it wasn't. Shiro had heard far more inspirational words come from the girl she loved, but it seemed to quell the people. When Nee was done, Shiro bound over to Nee's side, in front of cameras and all and gave Nee a kiss, holding her hand. For Shiro, it was a harmless act of love, but for the rest of the world, they no doubt saw it as some sort of political scheme to make them think that love was possible in every way. Shiro would have felt sad had she known what she thought was a simple kiss was really a part of something much bigger. There were still questions to be answered, a lot reporters were holding their mics, yelling out their questions for Nee. "You should answer them," Shiro said, gesturing with her head to the ones being pushed back by knights.
