"Of course it is." Kiss kiss snuggle. "I love you."

"I love you."

"Married Bells," snorts Aurora, "too cute."

"I object. She is precisely cute enough."

Aurora giggles. "Aww."

"I think I heard that Shell Bell and Pearl were reputed to be intensely cute and they aren't married," points out Glass.

"They're an exception. I think it has to do with the time Shell Bell spent Downside before we fixed it."

"An exception to the rule that only married Bells are adorable? Which Bells are married?"

"The rule that married Bells are the cutest. Other ones can be cute too," says Aurora. "Besides you, there's Golden - who is kind of left out of this rule because we barely get to see Edward; Stella and Cam have seen him but haven't weighed in on the cuteness comparison - and there's Rose and Angela."

"I see."

"When I was reading metacausality for the Jokers, Aegis appeared in midair and sat on Sue's shoulders," says Glass. "I'm not sure it's as obviously tiered as you're suggesting."

"It's more of an in-joke than a rule," shrugs Aurora.

Steel laughs.

"I feel like past-watching your wedding," announces Aurora.

"Go for it," laughs Glass.

"Certainly."

Steel hugs her wife.

Steel's wife hugs her back. "I still have that dress," she muses.

"Yes."

"It's really nice, the way it twinkles," agrees Aurora.
