if wishes were fishes we'd all be throwing nets.

Not at all 8D It's always cool to see older characters, they're so rare :3 And sorry for the huge delay, shit got crazy IRL for a bit there X_X Also, please note others are still more than welcome to join c:

It did not take long before an unlikely trio joined them: a raven, a feline, and an old tribesman. In any other context, she would have found this strange — but be it boundless optimism or simple faith, she decided the man's peculiar companions only proved how in touch the AniWayans were with Nature. Unalihelitseti, Elder, she greeted him, effortlessly mimicking the salutation Tiva used to address her only the day before. Their tongue was unlike any with which she was familiar, but language was one of her strong suites. Until someone offered her true lessons, she would do her best to learn through immersion and absorption.

Whatever the case, she bowed her head deeply as the words spilled into the open air. She was working off the assumption that, as a newcomer, he outranked her. While Tiva had elaborated on their vocational system in some detail, Lia was uncertain about their actual hierarchy. All she knew for sure was the Fire Keeper would serve as her mentor and a woman named Ulilohi was their Chieftess. Only... that wasn't exactly right, was it? Despite her official title as the Head of Council, it was easiest for the Hawaiian to think of their Alpha as a Chieftess, simply because that made the most sense in the context in which she was raised.

As for Aranck, even if the Akita hybrid understood their supposed equivalence as beginners on their chosen paths, she would've deferred to him anyway — as a senior member, he would have more clout within the pack, and as an elder, he deserved respect. Such values were ingrained strongly in her. She even went so far as to greet each of his friends in turn. And aloha to you as well, she stated with two additional dips of her head. My name is Lilia a'Mahina and this is Makani, she said, gesturing with a sweep of her hand towards her ever-more reserved servant. I invite you all to dine on these gifts from the Sea, she explained evenly with judicious formality. No matter how many chose to show up, she considered this her debut before the pack.
