Qrow yawned as his eyes opened slowly, finding himself quite comfortable in bed with Hana still sleeping soundly on top of him. Not wanting to wake her, he kept still, only moving to put his arms back around her. Quite comfortable in her sleep, she snuggled even closer to his chest, cuddling him lovingly.

Evelyn knocked gently on the door, to which Qrow whispered as quietly as possible. A volume only Qrow and Evelyn could hear.

"I'm up, Hana is still asleep. Let's keep her asleep as long as we can, let her sleep off as much of the hangover as possible. Try to keep from making too much noise, alright? And don't make breakfast just yet, so the smell of food doesn't wake her up." Qrow whispered.

"Alright. Let me know when to start breakfast... Oh, and purr softly, you know she loves it when you purr..." Evelyn whispered, before going back to her bedroom, closing her door silently.

Qrow didn't usually purr, as it was slightly embarrassing to him, but he knew Evelyn was right, so he snuggled Hana and purred softly for her.

Hana continued to sleep peacefully for the next few hours, until Qrow felt her stir slightly, opening her eyes and smiling sweetly. "Good morning..." She said softly, kissing Qrow. "Your purr is such a comforting sound. You should purr more often..." She said, gently scratching his large cat ears.

It was an unusual sensation, but quite a pleasant one. "Mh... Mmmmmm." Qrow tried to resist at first, but she's known him for 35 years. As a result, she knew the best way to pet him, feeling as though he were melting into her and unable to keep himself from purring louder.

After a while, Qrow could smell breakfast cooking, presumably because Evelyn heard Hana waking up. The two of them got out of bed at last, coming out to the kitchen for breakfast.

After they finished, Evelyn spoke up.

"So, everything's planned for the wedding except the guest list, right?" She asked.

"Mhm! Everything is ready, we just need to invite people. There isn't really any family outside of the four of us." Hana said.

"Perhaps the Patisserie owner and the catgirls? It might be a good idea to invite Royal and Karol too." Evelyn suggested.

"Yeah. I'm thinking Royal will be Best Man, actually, and of course you'll be the Maid of Honor. Don't really know anybody else. It'll probably be too small for a full set of Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, though." Qrow said.

"That's good enough for me. It'd be nice to get to know the Catgirls at the Patisserie better. Royal and his friends too." Hana said, smiling softly.

"Let's make some calls, see if everybody can show up, and know who'll be coming, then get the invitations printed." Qrow said.

[Several phone calls later.]

"So, everybody's good to show up. Kashou, Shigure, the catgirls, then Karol, Craig, Ox, Gold, Aki, Himari, Cross, and I. Kashou says Chocola and Vanilla would be overjoyed to be the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer. It'll also be the perfect opportunity to present you your Rogue Speed contract." Royal said over the phone.

"Sounds perfect. As for the contract, just know I won't be getting you an answer until after the honeymoon." Qrow replied.

"That's fine by me. Your spot is secured until we get a definite answer, for sure. What you did was unparalleled..." Karol said. It seemed she was still astonished by last night's events.

"Alright. We'll print the invites and hand them out a while in advance, so everyone has time to prepare. Thanks again for help contacting everyone. Have a good afternoon." Qrow said, hanging up.
