Mal stood at the entrance to the Chapel, greeting a small stream of guests who had managed to dock on Manhattan before the storm had hit. While smiling, he couldn't help notice how sparse the crowd of people looked in the Chapel.
As he turned again towards the entrance, he saw Brakelatabasaasta approaching, with a rather petulant look on his face. Mal held out his and in greeting, and smiled.
"Good day, Groom Person. Bad news and good news, it seems:
"The bad news is your pre-reception reception has been hampered by this bloody storm;
"The good news is I am here, to seal your Vows, and Eris is definitely in attendance, and goosing your occassion mightily!"
This brought a semblance of a smile to Brake's face, and he began waving to those in the small crowd he knew from Liberty.
Malaclypse leaned over and said gently, "Go greet your guests, sir. I'll handle the pat-downs for weapons and ripe fruits here. Meanwhile, why don't we give the attendees 'Something to Talk About'."
