After the sadness of the past week the Knight had confidence that today would bring forth some needed happiness for the members of Casa di Cavalieri. Tony had announced his engagement to Neela quite a while ago but life in the pack had been simply busy and the timing had been off for a mateship ceremony. The large male swung his dark bear fur cloak over a shoulder, attaching it in the front with the clip Tony had made him in the shape of a sun. Looking himself over quickly in the cracked mirror sitting against his wall the Sole made his way out of the Courthouse and towards the Bay of Fundy. It was by request of his son and daughter-in-law that the ceremony be held near the water.
The journey took longer than usual, as he wanted to keep his presentation clean cut and thus walked at a steady pace the entire way. The sky was clear of clouds and the sun beat down on the sand, which heat his paws quickly as he stepped onto the beach. With a grin he called to his pack members and the couple to join him. It was a special event in his eyes, the first mateship of one of his boys. Fia had been mated but the young lad had left the pack in search of family shortly after and he did not know if Sophia had ever taken a mate as she traveled around but today Tony was to be mated to someone Jazper considered to be a worthy partner. Neela matched Jazper in age and knew how to calm and command the bossy male. She was not a push over of a female by any standards and had shown a few pack mates that she was capable of beating them in sparring. He waited patiently, knowing it would take some time for everyone to arrive and for the happy pair to take their place in front of him but the leader grinned ear to ear as he did.
