[ She nods. Ereshkigal can see the beauty in that new custom - she's a professional at making DIY jewelry with bones after all and this is an evolution of that practice - but she can also see how really gauche it can be. ]

[ She takes back the book and puts it back on a table. She thinks the poetry sounds good, she would hardly be able to do better. ]
Alright. [She smiles at her.] That's everything then. I'll arrange the ceremony and give you the date once we have finished the preparations.
[ She goes back to Ishmael and extends a hand to help her get up from her seat. ]
If you want a shoulder to cry on, don't hesitate to contact me, alright?
[ she lets out a deep breath as she gets up from her seat. on one hand, she's relieved that this won't be her only burden to bear. gods like ereshkigal have been doing this their entire lives, for millennia; while wriothesley is very important to them, he is still just another human at the end of the day. and humans like them often come and go, much like the waves that ebb and flow against the shore. ]

[ and with one last handshake, she turns to leave. but right before she opens the door: ]
Let me know how the cake tastes. I want to buy one for myself next time.
