That sounds like a thing she might want.

Might?

Would.

Oh good. (How is she so pretty is it magic it's probably magic.)

Bella's so pretty Lúthien can't tear her eyes away from her, even when she's not in a city, and that's definitely not magic.

No, that's just Lúthien's personal bias, but Bella's very glad of it.

She categorically denies being biased but gets distracted halfway through saying so. By how pretty Bella is.

No complaints.

So, uh, should Bella be exhibiting restraint of any kind here.

Why on Earth or Arda would she need to do that.

People have, like, different pacing preferences! It's a thing! There are probably reasons! But apparently they are not operative here so mmmmmm gorgeous demigod.

Yeah! She had a pacing preference to wait until she had fallen in love and here she is, in love.

Totally reasonable. Bella respects the heck out of this pacing preference.

She feels very respected. 

(Kisses).

Kisses! Lots of them! All over the place!

And they have gone quite a bit past kisses when she feels Bella, a new sense that is entirely and wholly for her, and Bella is happy so at the moment it's a new sense communicating only delirious happiness - she knows at once that she'll have her Bella sense even if they are in different universes - and reaching out with her thoughts to Bella is so easy as to be effortless, and her whole soul sings Bella -

Um. 

I guess it's not true that Elves can only have straight marriages. 

What.

She could not possibly explain it so she sends it. Sending things is so easy now, it's like Bella is always right adjacent -

Okay I guess this doesn't actually substantively alter the practicals, squeeze, nuzzle, but I was not expecting that on any level, wow.

It's really nice!! And it doesn't alter anything, because it already wasn't like I was going to fall in love with anyone else. 

Okay then. I'm glad you like it, this would be a terrible time for you to be alarmed and distressed about your soul renovation. Why in the world would you be the first person this happened to, though?

It's marriage. It happens to everyone when they have sex, only it's supposed to be only between a man and a woman...

Yeah, but like, I'm assuming other Elves sometimes break the rules and have gay sex.

But they probably didn't know that in Canada they can just get married, just like that, doesn't even matter.

How would that affect it?

I think it's controlled by expectations? Like, if you had no idea that sex caused marriage then it wouldn't. And if you were very sure that it didn't for two girls, then it wouldn't. But if you were thinking of marrying someone, and then you did something that you know causes marriage, and you also know it's not impossible for you to get married after all...
