Before the wedding....
Ginny is all ready for Elaine to come and spend the night at her suite.

She'd gone to Manny and made a deal with him to fix some things of his with magic in return for a few little items they might need by the time Elaine gets married in the morning.

She's also gotten all sorts of snacks and drinks from the restaurant downstairs.

Now all she needs is for Elaine to arrive!

Elaine arrives, clutching her wedding things in her hands and looking pale and very, very nervous.

She doesn't have any hands left to knock, she realizes belatedly. "Oh, dear," she says, shifting some of her things, knocking, then taking her things up again before they fall on the floor.

It only takes a moment for the door to open, and Ginny is there, to help carry her things inside.

"Hi! Come on in! Let's get your dress hung up! Can I see it?"

She's a little excited.

"Of course... I have been anxious to show it to someone." She puts her dress (hangers are such an interesting invention, she wonders why they hadn't invented them back in her time, so simple) on the back of the door. It's a simple white linen gown with blue embroidery on the hem, neckline and sleeves. It looks...fairly rectangular, but there are laces at the sides and neckline to shape it to her body.

"I found it in the Boutique--I knew that they had clothing from my time but I was not expecting something so perfect for me."

"Oh, Elaine! It's brilliant, and will look gorgeous on you!"

She goes to her closet and brings out a dress of her own. She'd tried to keep in mind the more modest styles of Elaine's time, and tried to keep it simple, so as not to distract from Elaine's spotlight.

"This is the one I picked out to wear, myself. I think the blues will look nice together."

"It's very beautiful," she says. "I like the color very much."

She takes a deep breath. "I can't believe the wedding is tomorrow." She's truly nervous about everything at the moment. "I hardly know what to do with myself."

"Well, first come in and sit down, and we'll have some tea."

Ginny has the teapot set out, and goes and taps it with her wand. Steam rises from the spout immediately, and she smiles with satisfaction.

"Unless you'd like something else; I got a whole bunch of different things from downstairs to keep us fed and watered, so to speak."

"Tea sounds very nice indeed." And much better than whatever alcoholic beverage she would normally drink. She really isn't a heavy drinker.

She watches Ginny as she works her magic. It won't ever cease to be fascinating.

"No, the tea will be fine, I am not sure at the moment how well I would be able to eat."

Ginny sets about getting milk and sugar out while the tea steeps, and then pouring out two cups.

"Do you have everything ready that you need for the morning?"

Elaine nods. "It doesn't take much. Sparhawk is moving into my room, so I didn't really have to bring much outside of my dress and underthings."

Well, chemise and stockings, anyway. Women in Elaine's time did not wear very much in the way of undergarments. "I was advised that I should keep my flowers somewhere cold, however." She brought out her crown of pale pink roses and her small, simple bouquet made of the field flowers she'd loved when she lived back home. "I should put them in the refrigerator, I suppose."

"I can put a charm on the them to keep them fresh."

She gets out her wand.

"It won't keep them forever, but they should last just fine until tomorrow night, at least. And I can do your nails for you, and help with your hair, if you'd like."

"Oh, thank you. I'd appreciate that." She tilts her head, then looks at her nails. "What would you do with my nails?" They're short and practical at the moment.

You've never had a manicure, before? It's just filing the edges, and maybe putting some polish on."

Elaine shakes her head. "The only reason I kept my nails smooth at home was so I would not catch the fabric I was sewing on and ruin it."

Ginny pauses in her buffing to give Elaine a puzzled look.

"Why would you think you'd die?"

"Lots of women die in childbirth in my time. Women have the burden of bearing children, and sometimes the children die and sometimes the woman. I've been at a few births where either or both have happened...it isn't pretty."

She sighed. "And my mother died birthing me. She was not supposed to have any more children. She was thirty-four."

She pats Elaines hand comfortingly.

"I don't think you need to worry about it while you're Here. In my time, it's very unusual to lose a child, or to die yourself. Even more unusual for Muggles, I think, who have all sorts of strange devices prepared for anything that could possibly go wrong. There are healers and doctors and nurses to help."

The terms doctor and nurse are still strange to her.

"I suppose," Elaine says skeptically. After all, it was in the Bible that woman was to bear children with pain and blood as payment for their sin. That is what she'd been told her whole life and she believed it.

"I...do not think that Sparhawk would let anything of the sort happen to me, either." She smiles softly. "He healed me after the explosion...I think he could help with whatever occurred."

"I don't know much about the Bible, except that they weren't very keen on witches or magic."

That was enough to sour her on the subject of religion. She went to buff the nails on the other hand while she talked.

"But witches have been delivering babies successfully for centuries, with very little problem. You've got a much better chance of a healthy delivery with all of the people Here than at home, I think."

"You're probably right," she says, smiling. "And I would not at least want to try, no matter the risk."

Ginny agrees, so she simply nods.

"Now we're ready for the clear polish. I'll put a little on one of your fingers, and you can decide if you like it. If not, I'll take it off, and if you do, I'll put some on the rest of your nails."

She carefully applies a thin, even coat of gloss to Elaine's index finger.

"It takes a little time to dry, so try not to touch anything for a few minutes with that finger."

Elaine watches. "It smells strangely," she comments.

But it does make her nails sparkle. And oh, she did want to sparkle tomorrow.

"The smell will go away once it dries."

She picks up her cooling tea and taps it with her wand to heat it a little.

"I wouldn't have you going down the isle smelling of anything but the roses in your hair."

"I think I would." She smiles. "It seems a lot of trouble, though. Do women do this for every day in your place?"
