WC:552 OOC: Nayati posts and then it can be closed Smile.


The journey had been wonderful. She’d enjoyed her stay with Nayati’s parents and old tribe, learned so much from them, and didn’t entirely wish to go when it was time, but she went with him everywhere, and she did miss home dearly. Their trip both ways had been a long one, but the trip home had been much harder. She’d actually had planned this from the beginning, but doing it and thinking it were two different things. They had spotted a few herds of horses while they were making their way down to the Great Tribe, and Liliana noted to remember them, so they had to side step only a little when it came time to tracking and catching some horses, she had grabbed six horses from one of the herds, two male one female and the same from the next herd, giving them a total of three male three female, six horses to herd. she had Nayati lead while she had kept them in check it had slowed them down only a little, all due to Liliana’s herding instincts. It was very tiring work though, so when they were back in territory they knew she was relieved, it took them just a little longer still, but it was worth it. The horses she’d caught were docile enough they didn’t try anything. She wanted to make sure that when they bred they had a veriety, that they wouldn’t inbreed the horses.

The fence was a wonderful sight to her and she could do nothing but smile as they made their way into the territory, it was now late afternoon and the evening was growing. She was quiet but not for any particular reason, she just wanted to make sure she knew she was home. They made their way to the stables first where they put the horses, inside, Lili could see some new additions, and couldn’t help but come to the stall of the colt. He was well as Shanta had promised, and Liliana was happy to know that. She didn’t stay long, she was too tired, she wanted to go to her hut, lay down and fall asleep, and that’s what she did exactly, tossing whatever they had gotten from the tribe gently on the ground, she only sat and waited for Nayati with a smile on her face before going to bed. She wouldn’t fall asleep without him.

She sat smiling to herself, her hand close to her belly, where there was something every female would know, it was at that point for her, and she wasn’t sure if she should tell Nayati now... or tomorrow. She only figured it out earlier that day thinking about the trip itself. Now she knew absolutely, the instinct of a dog... or a wolf, whichever one, she knew. She just didn’t know the best way of telling Nayati, they were both tired already, and she knew he would be more than happy if she told him, but would that keep them from their much needed rest? She decided to tell him in the morning, when he was fresh, too much news was … hard on the brain, and she wanted a good feeling to come from it, not something tired and happy, but she wanted the best for both of them.

The trip to and back from the Great Tribe had been a long and tiring one. He had made the trek only once before when he had traveled to join the smaller satellite tribe, but this time the journey was much more enjoyable for he was not the only canine on it. The fact that his companion on the trip was his mate just made it all the better. He and Lili had hit a bit of a rough patch not long before they had departed AniWaya and he was glad they had the opportunity to spend some well deserved time alone with one another. Nayati had no doubt that this trip would bring them closer together and strengthen the bond that ran between them. On their way to the Great Tribe the hunter had pushed their pace to as fast as he dared make Iye and Grace go, so excited was he to see his old home again and to reunite with his family. When they did reach the Great Tribe it was everything that he had hoped it would be. It was so wonderful to see his parents and siblings again, and even more so that he got to introduce his mate to them. Just as he had assured Liliana, they welcomed her into the Utina clan with open arms; his mother had taken a particular liking to her and had spent much time with his beloved.


The only thing that had been a little odd was his audience with the new Kalona. There was nothing that had been said really that bothered him; it was the whole feel and atmosphere of the meeting that had left the Gadui Kanati somewhat unnerved. The most worrisome thing was that he could not even figure out what exactly made him feel so strangely about it. These thoughts and feelings tickled at the back of his mind as they made their way back towards home. Saying goodbye had been difficult, as it always was, and so he attributed that to his quieter than usual mood as they trekked back to AniWaya. He helped as much as he could with rounding the horses up that his mate wished to take back with them, but his mind was always preoccupied on that peculiar meeting and the undercurrents he had felt during it.


When the spiked fence of their home finally came into view though a wave of relief and tiredness washed all those troubling thoughts away, a contented smile painting his maw. They swung by the stables as the sun was making its descent towards the horizon, finding places to put their new stock as well as tucking their own horses in for the night. The mated pair then made their weary way back to their own small hut. Liliana sat and waited for him to join her. Nayati smiled back at his mate and knelt down, giving her a quick kiss before he laid down with her, his arm draped over her torso and pulled her close. Immediately his eyes closed and he began to drift off to a deep sleep, unaware of the life-altering news that his beloved was in possession in. For now he was just a tired man, ready for a good long sleep.
