Slight Powerplay with her performing the ceremony <33 Also, if you would like to choose a den, please post in the AT maintenance thread with your choice 
She had done this many times in the past, and was prepared in case he refused the ritual. One could not become a true member of Anathema without it, and it was required...but occasionally they got someone who was squeamish or who did not want to go through something like that in order to have a home. They were probably better suited for other, softer packs anyway. This ceremony would bind Lance to everyone in Anathema and finalize his application. He did seem to agree to it, though, and she turned her wrist so that the blade was facing toward her.
Naniko made a shallow cut along the largest of her paw-pads, an area that was already ticked with other small scars from similar ceremonies, then looked back to Lance. She made a similar cut on his his largest paw-pad, then held both of them together to allow their blood to drip down onto the soil. It splattered there, leaving small maroon puddles around their feet as she released him and Wiped the dagger on the grass before sliding it back into its sheath. "Welcome to the family, Lance. Once you have proven that you'll truly be sticking around, you can choose a rank tier. Or you can wait and stay a Zepar for as long as you'd like. I trust that Lukos can show you around?"
