Anatole had only every attended one ceremony before his departure from AniWaya, and it had involved music making. He didn’t recall much of Dawali’s words, and after Ulilohi had come and found him yesterday he had gotten a lengthy speech from his Spirit Guide about the importance of attending on two legs. He had finally backed off from the debate after recognizing it was part of the Tribe’s belief in the superiority of their Optime shape. While he would never see it in such a way, Anatole was slowly learning he had to bend in order to best fit within the conglomeration. He could see himself nowhere else but in AniWaya these days, and had little desire to have to reprove himself to a leader that would demand submission while Ulilohi was understanding enough to not force such things upon him.

So he had spent the time to groom himself thoroughly, even going so far as to comb out his long hair with his claws. He bore no objects of decoration, no signs of any wealth. He didn’t own objects of decoration, and while he was certain others would come with these upon them, he came as he was.

Striding towards the ceremonial land, he followed the shadow of the eagle until he spotted the tall woman. His guide swooped low and landed on the roof of a nearby building, keeping a respectful distance. Anatole focused his brilliant eyes upon his leader alone, admiring her form without the blue blanket. She was not only a powerful woman but one with weight and body to her that instinctively told him she was not only healthy, but healthy enough to retain weight. He smiled at her and dipped his head slightly to show respect, then lifted it once more to listen to her words.

His eyes trailed to the tongue as it was flung to the fire, and there his eyes lingered as she spoke. There were stories to be told, and while he did not have a hearth within his home, he would perhaps ask to join Claudius' rite. Unsure of what to say beyond this, he looked back to the tall woman expectantly.
