The officiant swallowed.
"Then.. by the authority granted...do you take..."
"I do.."
She cut him off answering too fast. The officiant froze the mask he was barely keeping slipping.
"... I have not yet.." he started.
"I said yes."
Atheline almost chuckled at the deer-in-the-headlights look everyone had.
'I'm starting to be immune'
Her hands tightened around his as she stared sharply at the officiant.
"You can continue if it makes you feel useful."
The man didn't waste the opportunity given and the ceremony stumbled forward.
"... Do you take this man..."
"Yes."
"... to bind your life, your soul, your..."
"Yes."
Each yes came more sharply, displaying the hint of possessiveness she had towards.
Her answers were just too much for the officiant to handle. He turned desperately to Atheline's side hoping for a respite.
"And you.. do you take..."
"I do."
Atheline didn't spare the poor man. There was no hesitation as he accepted her vows.
