Ralla could've kicked herself.

Running at breakneck speed in her lupus form, yelling at herself in her head--Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!--she sprinted back south to AniWaya. After she had left the lodge early that morning to do shopping around the Cercatori pack, she had returned to check on Sugar. The horse was fine, munching away at some hay, and while Ralla had begun to saddle him up for their continuation of their journey. But casually, as if it were something he himself didn't understand and so wanted to ask Ralla, the quarter horse had leaned his head to her side and said; What bondship ceremony? Confused by the sudden question, Ralla answered and then was rewarded by news that had made her eyes bug out in harsh surprise.

Liliana and Nayati!

Being the way she was, Ralla took ceremonies very, very seriously, especially ones such as bondship and prayer. And it was Liliana's...! She had rushed into Noss's room early that morning and told him to allow Sugar to lead him back to AniWaya, where they would meet and continue on their journey. He argued that it would set them back, but Ralla didn't care. She couldn't miss the first bondship ceremony of her being in AniWaya, much less Liliana's. Sure, she didn't know Liliana as well as she would've liked, but she did like the wolfess; believed in her, trusted her. After squaring Noss away with Sugar, she had taken off as fast as she could, hoping that she would not miss the event. It had been a little after dawn when Ralla left, and a part of her hoped that maybe the ceremony wasn't going to take place until she could get there. Two hours--that's all she needed!--of straight, hard running. She could handle it; her body was built for speed.

And she made it, if not a little later than she wished.

Panting outside of the Town Hall, she gave herself a moment to compose her breath before shifting into her optime form, absentmindedly brushing her fur down to presentable. Silently she entered through the door, eyes immediatly transfixed on the ceremony before her. Liliana was beautiful, as any wolfess was on their bonding day. And it wasn't just her attire; it was the aura of happiness she radiated. Liliana was clearly under the sign of Leo, although she took after Leo's second ruling half, whereas Noss took after the first. She was encouraging, loyal, and kind; these basic three qualities shined in her the most. Ralla had born witness to the dual side to Liliana's Leo--as all signs had their faults, including Ralla's own--but Liliana obviously had good control of those characteristics, and Nayati had seen them fully in her. She could already see the match in them; one of fun and adoring days to come. Of course there was the chance of set-backs, but all situations had them. And for now, on their bonding day, those thoughts were unnecessary.

She watched as Chief Dawali finished speaking their rights--Ralla having come in midway through his words--and did not clap, but instead smiled brightly, watching them walk from the Town Hall and to the Great Fire. She did not follow, as she assumed was impolite as no one else did, and instead waited for their return. Once they eventually did, they were now the Utinas. Ralla walked slowly to them, wanting to congratulate them but also wary of whether it was proper for her to be the first to approach. She gathered her courage and finally walked up to Liliana, a smile for her friend and tribe mate glowing. "You look beautiful, Liliana. Congratulations." She would've given the hybrid a hug, but she thought that inappropriate, seeing as she was Nayati's exclusively for the day. She then turned her head to the white warrior, still smiling. "Nihi wili agisdi agesesdodi vhnai viglv?" Saying 'sister' was both appropriate and forced; everyone in the tribe was like family to Ralla, but she also had no word for 'friend' in the AniWayan language. She also had decided to ask him the question in the native tongue, because it meant something special; it was a promise to himself. And although Ralla would never know their vows that they had entrusted with the Great Fire, she could pray for their happiness with its burning heart.

-Translation- Nihi wili agisdi agesesdodi vhnai viglv: Will you take care of my sister?
