Saul Chibi is by Requiem!

He was nervous, though he didn't have much of an explanation of why. Today was going to be a special day, not just for the pups that would be formally introduced to Vinátta for the first time. Many knew of their existence, but only a few had met them or knew their names. Today was also a special day for the mother of one of the litters, and she wasn't aware of it just yet. Lilin had explained, briefly and not in any detail, about her argument with her sister and had posed a suggestion that had stumped Saul for a moment. Colibri was fragile and he had no idea how she would cope with this ascension. She often seemed unmotivated, but perhaps this was what she needed. After deliberation, Saul had agreed.

They'd assembled by the lake and despite the fact that winter would be upon them soon, the sky was clear. It was cold though and Saul was grateful he was able to hold the two precious lives close to him. Lilin held their first born, while Saul had scooped up the lighter two. He'd been surprised to find Colibri in her Optime form- she'd spent the last month on two legs whilst nursing her daughters. But she'd carried them here on two legs, alongside Miskunn who was as usual rather quiet. He often found Miskunn's voice mesmerising and it reverberated through his body whenever he heard her talk.

Lilin had called out for the pack and it hadn't taken long for them to assemble. He'd grinned at them, the pride and love in his eyes for his whole family evident. It had been his mate who'd spoken first, informing them all of the reason for this gathering, before dropping the proverbial bombshell on Colibri. It was met by silence at first, while she looked between himself and his mate- he'd given a confident nod to indicate that he was in agreement. She'd stuttered a thank you and they waited a moment for congratulations from the pack.

It was time to get down to business though and Miskunn was accomodating of those who were not so familiar with the Norse religion. She explained the ceremony and what would happened, words that Saul paid close attention to. Colibri and Lilin had expressed a desire for the rite, but they hadn't explained it very well to him and he absorbed this information eagerly. It was Colibri's turn first and after a deep breath, she placed them on the ground. He watched in quiet fascination as the ritual unfolded, each girl offered up and named. He knew not what Miskunn had said, or blessed them with, but it rolled off her tongue with ease and shortly after, all three girls were back in their mothers arms.

It was their turn next and Saul glanced across at Lilin, a secret smile playing on his lips as they moved forward to place their children on the ground. He straightened for a moment, before he scooped the eldest boy up and offered him to their Godja. The sprinkled water landed in his hands after rolling off the pups fur, the words spoken once more. "Ek verp vatni þetta barn a, ok gef honum nafnit, Lund." He flashed his mate another grin as he passed the boy over, before repeating the process with the other two. "Rúni" She replaced before their sister was named "Sólieri" As each was named, he passed them over to their mother, hoping she was able to juggle them for a moment.

It was his gift now and he straightened, bringing out the bundle of charms and leather he'd been making. His tail flashed back and forth as he made his way to Colibri first. Placing a necklace around each pup, he murmured softly as he went. Welcome, Fiora... Farina... Florina...Lund... Rúni... Sólieri, to Vinátta. His voice was full of compassion and love for the new generation and as he placed the necklace around his daughters head, he turned to the rest of the pack and sighed softly in appreciation.
