If I didn't know any better, I would have suspected Clive was perusing through my bookshelf for inspiration.
[But no, Clive is just naturally a romantic when it comes to her, well-bred regardless of what his mother might say, and treats Jill like the precious thing she is to him.]
Why wouldn't I? You're one of my closest friends here. Just inviting you to the ceremony doesn't seem enough.
[Well, only one of two of her closest female friends here, but in time, that should change. For now, though, Jill wants Tifa by her side on that significant day, just as Joshua will be there for Clive.]
Well, I assume that as a bridesmaid you need to make sure I arrive on time. Maybe help with tying my corset, have tissue in case I cry...
[Which she will. It's a guarantee Jill will sob on the happiest day of her life.]
And I'm much more concerned for your own comfort. Just dress as you would any other wedding, unless you think you want to match with the other bridesmaid.

Well, I'd say you're a fine treasure indeed. That sounds like it was amazing, though. Like it's right out of a book.
[There's something of a whimsical, quiet sigh that leaves her.
But she realizes then that she still hasn't answered Jill's questionโ]
Ah, sorry. I meanโof course I'll be a bridesmaid!? Honestly, I'm surprised you asked me at all.

[And now a different kind of excitement is bubbling up.]
So, anything special I should wear? Or anything I need to do? ... I've never been a bridesmaid before.

[But she tilts her head thoughtfully at the next piece.]
But this is your day, so you get to decide. Do you have a favourite colour that I should look for at least?
no subject
I'm quite partial to blue, but please allow me to at least let you pick what shade you'd like to wear.
[No bridezilla here!]

[She laughs softly, before it's cut off by her remembering something.]
Ah, before I forget: You can also bring someone if you'd like. A companion of a sort.

[Her cheeks flush suddenly at that, her entire demeanour changing from sure of herself to more shy.]
I... um, okay. Well, I'll think about it.
