| ==Synopsis==
| |
| ===Prologue===
| |
| [[Bethsaida Emil Galare|Beth]] continues her convent tour, where she plays up the fact that she's some kind of damaged person, skillfully manipulating the tenants into revering her while she travels. She arrives at the convent of Saint Militha, where she has a meeting with [[Amber Seni Galare|Amber]]. Amber tells her he dislikes [[Lisinthir Lauvet Imthereli|Lisinthir]], both because [[Even the Wingless (Fiction)#Part 1: Sky Longing|he rescued her]] and also, with [[Sediryl Nuera Galare|Sediryl]], declined to let him do something he found [[Only the Open (Fiction)|sufficiently dramatic]] to avenge Beth. Filing this away, Beth manipulates Amber into pledging himself to her cause.

| ====Key Quote====
| |
| "You speak of the [[Liolesa Galare|Queen]], now styling herself Empress, and her new heir, our cousin. And all their coterie of alien-lovers, who would throw our world into the arms of people who could not defend themselves from dragons. And they expect these failures to defend us?" - Amber

| ===Chapter One===
| |
| Sediryl is being given a tour of [[Jerent Mysfeldt]]'s test plot, and she is amazed that these plants are ''growing'' on her [[Escutcheon|home world]]. [[Qora]], who with [[Aunal|another Faulfenzair]] has volunteered to take the tour with her, reminds her that she also has to think of a gift (meaning for her [[Investiture|investiture]]), also asking her what Beth brought to ''her'' investiture. However, Sediryl is more stumped on what to give [[Jahir Seni Galare|Jahir]] as a troth gift for their upcoming wedding. At [[Maia]]'s suggestion, Sediryl decides she'll turn to [[Vasiht'h]] for help.

| |
| Back at her office at [[Ontine]], Sediryl is ambushed by [[Valthial Trena Firilith|Val]], who presses her about her training. Qora volunteers to take over her training since she can't give Val the time he says she needs to take, and Val leaves, satisfied. Qora was serious, however, and intends to keep teaching her Faulfenza dance. Sediryl reluctantly agrees to give an hour each day to Qora right as the sun rises.

| ===Chapter Two===
| |
| Amber's coming home! And before the wedding! [[Jeasa Seni Galare|Jeasa]] is excited and tells Jahir, Vasiht'h, [[Sehvi]], and [[Marevhe]] about it, inviting them all to come, then goes off to prepare. After she's left, however, Sehvi wonders why now, since Jahir's been home from [[First Chatcaavan War|the war]] for months. Jahir reminds them that lacking modern technology, travel isn't a minor effort, but Sehvi presses. In the end, Sehvi volunteers to go round up whoever else might be able to come and apologizes to Jahir for "being too forthright", which Jahir accepts. Marevhe decides to leave as well, leaving Jahir and Vasiht'h to talk. Vasiht'h immediately begins with the possible [[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)#Prologue|political nature]] of Amber not showing up yet. Jahir floats that he could be returning in order to attend the wedding. Despite his misgivings communicated through the mindline, Vasiht'h expresses some optimism.

|
| |
| When he later talks to Sediryl, she is less sanguine about it, and offers to come. Jahir declines, citing Jeasa's desire to keep it to immediate family, though Sediryl points out Amber might not think so due to the presence of aliens. The conversation shifts to them discussing Beth's meddling via letters sent to the broadsheet before Jahir leaves for the day, opting to study in [[Rose Point Forecourt|Firilith]]. Vasiht'h decides to come with, because his mother is going in that direction and he wants to eat [[Kis'eh't]]'s pies.

|
| |
| Jahir settles into his favorite table at the new cafe in Forecourt, sampling the emotional presence of those around him and noting that while there was harmony, there was also some friction, but a healthy friction. [[Nemulin Dasiin Eddings|The proprietor]] of the cafe's [[Ivali Dasiin Eddings|mother]] brings him some food and the broadsheet, leaving to get him some coffee, and Jahir begins to read. Vasiht'h doesn't like what he feels through the mindline, so (after some prodding) Jahir lets Vasiht'h read the latest missive some Beth, with the Glaseah providing caustic commentary. In the end, Jahir finally gets some studying in, and as he leaves, talks with Mistress Ivali, who makes pointed comments about not believing everything he reads.

Nearly a year has passed since the conclusion of the Chatcaavan War… which means it’s time for Jahir and Sediryl to marry, and Sediryl to kneel for the coronet of the imperial heir! All their allies are gathering to celebrate, from the expected, like the Queen Ransomed and Lisinthir, to mentors and friends from years past. But life doesn’t pause for momentous events, no matter how joyous or anticipated. There are issues Jahir and Sediryl have yet to resolve, issues that reflect the greater challenges besetting their world and the Alliance. Before they can join hands for the wedding cloth, they’ll have to face at least one of those challenges… and it won’t be the first.
Healer’s Wedding, Book 1 in the Jubilee Summer duology, brings together the characters from Her Instruments, Dreamhealers, and Princes’ Game for a capstone season of politics and pleasure. Return to the homeworld of the Eldritch and the company of friends!
