Royal Wedding
The people of Russia were in a festive mood and they had reason to be. Their tsar, Tsar Mikhail Petrovich Romanov, was getting married to Duchess Tatyana Sergeyeva. The past few months had been spent planning and getting ready for this day. They were happy to see their tsar get married and would be even happier when the tsar and the tsarina had an heir. The newly restored Imperial family needed stability and the marriage today was the first step in providing that stability.

The wedding ceremony lasted over an hour in the Assumption Cathedral. Immediately after Mikhail and Tatyana were pronounced man and wife, Tatyana was crowned empress. The procession left the cathedral and the newly wed couple and newly crowned empress greeted the people from the Red Porch.

The royal family was given time to change and refresh themselves before heading to the Grand Kremlin Palace for the wedding banquet. Dinner was an elaborate affair and lasted for two hours.

After dinner the royal family and guests made their way to the grand ballroom for the ball. The royal family was introduced and then the tsar and tsarina entered. They danced the first dance together and then the royal family was invited to dance with their partners. The guests would be invited to dance in the next song.

Marrina, frankly, wondered just what the heck she was doing here. But her father had requested that she attend as the official representative of Atlantis, so, hey, free vacation to Russia with Mason as her guest. And it was, she would admit, good, low-risk practice of her Princessly duties.

All this did, however, serve to remind her that though Namor's rule was absolute, and that he had directed the matter be left alone for now, there were still voices amongst the council who wanted her to pick a suitable consort. She'd, wisely, in her opinion, kept this from mason.

Atlantean jewelry, golden anklets and armbands, adorned her form, complimenting her dress well, while still keeping her from upstaging anyone else.

	At the request of the family advisers, Misha made the rounds to say hello to the visiting royalty. He approached Marrina and her escort and made a slight bow. "Your Highness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina curtsied in return. She recognized Misha, of course, both from following the news and the whole rescue thing. "Your highness," she returned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The superhero community was small enough he knew where she fit in, but the rescue was still something of a half-solved mystery in his memory. "If we keep up with the 'Your Highness' we'll never get to part where we blow this popsicle stand," he joked, holding out his hand. "Call me Misha, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina took his hand in hers and shook. "Only if you call me Marrina," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a deal, Marrina." He offered his hand to her escort as well. "I'm afraid it's been busy enough that I didn't get a lot of names," he told the young man. "When I'm not here playing Grand Duke, I'm Misha Loganovich." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mason's been quiet for most of this, feeling spectacularly out of his element, but still delighted to be an official guest of Marrina's for Important Stuff.

He fumbles for a moment, not sure whether to bow or not, but settles for lowering his head and leaning forward slightly as he shakes hands.

"Mason Jeffries, of Alpha Flight in particular and Canada in general, your... grace, I think?" That's what they had said in Cinderella, right?

	She smiled sympathetically at Misha. "I don't know if I'm ever going to get used to being royal," she confessed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"In Russian royalty, the Grand Duke is the Prince so they 'Your Highness' me to death when outside the States, but I prefer Misha," Misha said to Mason. "I guess I'm not as up on the Alpha Flight roster as I thought. My father is Canadian and an Alpha Flight ally from way back. I intend to continue the family tradition."

He smiled at Marrina. "I've come to the conclusion that if you do get used to it, you're doing it wrong. The only time it's been fun is when I'm lording it over my sister Anya. Except for the privilege of training with the Winter Guard. That's at the top list of my very short perk list."

Mason lights up with recognition. "Ah! Logan! Right!" He grins. "You're his kid!" His body language immediately relaxes, feeling at least somewhat in the know now.

"Dad and Mister Logan go drinking sometimes. I remember Mom got really annoyed over some club in Toronto he took Dad to for his birthday last year. Apparently she dragged both of them out by their ears."

He smiles over at Marrina, edging a little closer to her and kissing her on the cheek. "I've gotten pretty used to dating royalty, if that helps."

	She gave Mason a smile too. "It does," she assured him. She giggled. "I got a pet giant sea horse, so that's a definite perk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Jeffries?" Misha could've smacked his head over missing the obvious clue. Dad had taken him to visit his old friends in Canada many times as a kid, but not so much in the last seven, eight years. "Right. I remember Lil. She's one tough lady, but she was always nice to me. Doesn't surprise me at all she'd yank Dad around by his ear."

"A pet sea horse sounds like a great perk. I got a security detail and handlers." He leaned in a bit. "If you get a call through official channels in the next few weeks, don't worry about it. They're trying to marry me off and bring Russia more glory. Say yes and the four of us can have dinner or something." He gestured with a nod to a tall, striking blond in red and black talking to other guests. "Lyta Braddock-Worthington. She seems to think I'm worth the trouble of dating."

Mason discretely inclines his head to check out the girl Misha indicates, nodding slightly to the other dude, as dudes do.

The bit about arranging of marriages does strike a mental chord for him, and he glances with a moment of worry at Marrina, but puts it aside.

"Yeah, Mom's scary when she wants to be. She can even make Jordie, Jordan Bochs, my big brother, hide up a tree when she has a mind to."

	"I'm lucky," Marrina admitted. "I've mostly got free reign." She rolled her dark eyes. "I'll keep that in mind," she said. "And I'd like that. My mother was in Alpha Flight too, the original Marrina." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-04-25 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Mason double-takes slightly. "Not that you need to worry about that. Mom already thinks you're smarter and nicer than me and Jordie. She thinks you're awesome." A conversation-maintainer (since it's already started) occurs to Mason. "How are your parents dealing with your girlfriend? Hopefully they don't buy into the arranged courtship stuff too much?"

"Dad thinks Lyta's great, but we were raised together at the Xavier institute. My mother is fine with whoever makes me happy. It would be a different story if she was still on the throne and I was tsarevich. With Mikhail getting married, the chances of me inheriting the throne anytime in the next fifty years is very slim. Marriage is not in my future for a long time, if ever."

After that, Misha would move heaven and earth to keep Mikhail's line alive, even if he had to guard them himself.

	"Must be nice," Marrina said. "Though honestly, even as Namor's heir, I don't know how well Atlantis would take to being ruled by me or any future kids of mine. I'm only a quarter Atlantean to begin with. You keep diluting that and..." She shrugged. "But that's a worry that's a loooong way off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-04-25 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't have to rule anything you don't want to." Mason squeezes Marrina's hand. And yes, any 'diluting' is certainly a long ways off. Mason's cheeks pink slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-04-25 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"It's true that if Mom's life had been lived in a more royal light, I, and probably Anya, wouldn't exist at all. Now that we're here, they want to have a say in the next generation's parentage. Your people will probably try it too. I just smile and go on about my own business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're a bunch of busy bodies," Anya said with a smile as she came up along side her brother. "I've been telling them that I've got plans to run away and elope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-26 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina squeezed Mason's hand back, then smiled when she saw Anya. "I... don't think that would go so well for me," she told Anya. "They'd probably spin it in a way to make my father murderously enraged." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
