Arha was dressed in red and gold, elaborate beads and cloth hiding her features as she moved to meet the man she was to marry. Her steps were so fluid it looked as if she were gliding as she came to a stop next to Nie Huaisang and bowed before kneeling herself. The beads swung, chiming gently and she, too, let out a soft sigh. Her red locks had been pulled back into elaborate twists and braids, some small, some thick, and beaded in gold, silver, and copper. Hair combs carved in white jade and touched with beads held the veiling beads and cloths in place. She settled quietly, her freckled, pale skin milky as she folded her hands.

It was not a terrible thing to do this but it was unusual. Her Order had said she was to marry and this was the time and the place, far different than anything she had thought it would be. That said, there were some things you could not argue about and this was one of them.

Huaisang stood to bow to the woman as she came in, dressed beautifully and he appraised her carefully before he knelt again. This is certainly a thing he can't really argue about even though he had tried, pushing his brother to the point where he knew he couldn't anymore. He smiles a little.

"Welcome," and how awkward this whole thing is. He fidgets, his stomach in knots and this situation is so abnormal that he's not sure how to even fumble his way through it.
