First paragraph describes what we can OOCly assume happens, if you guys are okay with it, and can end here, if you'd like? Or if you guys need to SoSu, you can each reply again? C: I like short and sweet joining threads, personally! <3

Eris is by Kiri!

Eris was a sampler of spirituality, dabbling in this or that and taking what she wished of beliefs striking her fancy. The dark-haired woman's fancy had just been struck by the proffered gift and the supposed meaning behind them. She did not step forward to take the gifts, as there were too many for her to carry; as such, Imhotep and Odessa might accompany her back to her ruins for a brief rendezvous -- Eris would receive her treasures and briefly entertain her guests, offering the pair food and explaining to Imotep what was to be expected of him within Salsola. It was all very mechanical to Eris, but necessary, and not invariably intolerable, either. On occasion, she rather enjoyed inducting canines to the Salsola pack, and the dark-hued woman thought Imhotep might be just the case.

The coyote listened with interest as Imhotep conveyed various information to her. The dark-hued woman was confused by parts of it, but near the end, when he first seemed to stumble after his utterance of Sasola, the coyote saw his meaning. She saw it, in fact, truer than even the most deucedly talented wordsmith could have penned, and smiled broadly, the pearly tips of her teeth blazing against the coal of her muzzle. The dark woman's tail swished with appreciation, and she nodded, making no jest of his proficiency with her mother tongue. His meaning was made clear, and this was what mattered, no matter the stumbles and starts of his tongue -- his body language and even his eyes, bright and golden, portrayed it perfectly.

Then -- Imhotep, I would welcome you to Salsola, the coyote said, stepping toward him and administering the first of what were to be many greetings in the Salsolian fashion -- a quick nuzzle to one cheek, then the same motion to the opposing cheek. She stepped back, and gestured with her hand. Please, accompany me -- both of you, she asked, her tone polite enough. Still, Eris's command was clear enough, and a proper Salsolian should be overjoyed to meet his family. Acceptance was but the beginning; his truest trial was to begin shortly.
