Peacocks
"The Feast is in seven days' time," she explains. They've moved to a cozy room out of the way of most, but Lady Bou's attendants stand guard at the door. Kagome feels uncomfortable with the extra company, but says nothing. "It will end after two moons, and then an additional moon will be used to prepare for the wedding."
"That fast?" she asks, surprised.
She stares. "Do you wait longer in human courtship?"
"It depends on the couple," she explains, "But… To marry after just three months…?"
"Those are our ways," she affirms. "The demonesses know their time is limited. I would not be surprised if some resorted to dirty tricks to stand out. Expect a parade of peacocks."
Kagome swallows. "You picked them, didn't you?"
"Aye," she says. Her face splits into a secretive smile. "Would you like to know to whom I have sent an invitation?"
