Ivy looks at Rhun with what can only be described as pity. She floats over to Kathra with a sorrowful look.

"I am sorry, my precious petal. I tried, I truly did.  They are within the grasp of something truly special, but one chooses another path,  one is too prideful to see, and neither has a flair for the theatrical, I'm afraid." She takes Kathra's hand. "I've done what I can, love. I can do no more."

She turns to Rhun. "Your daughter has done nothing but express a desire to see the two most important people in her life become a couple. Should that be a crime, I shall meet the hangman myself.  But I fear my words fall on deaf ears, so I leave you with these words: sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.  Perhaps you should listen to your daughter instead of punishing her, and then she would not be driven to such desperation."

She snaps her fingers and Jorge, Rhun, and Kathra are outside.

Back on stage, Ivy gestures to Natalie and James. She grins broadly.

"Ah, but here! Here, we have beauty!  Here we have true love!  A gallant young man and his beautiful beloved!  Let us instead bask in the light of this couple who has recently pledged themselves to one another!"

The Alps applaud wildly for James and Natalie, who bkushes and looks down.
