[PRP] Welcome to Ela! [Iqhawe x Onawa]

[- Mynsed -]

This would be the year! Onawa just knew it, she could feel it in her toes! And when her toes tingled, it had to be true. Grinning widely, she hopped on her paws, peering over the heads of her clan, other clans, and the newly accepted rogues. The rogues were so large compared to the Elas and it made seeing far distances among them very hard. Especially for her, since she was also smaller than the average Elas. But she was determined. At least this year, she will find her one true mate. She was certain. It had to happen. If not, she may go another year without finding one! And she wanted someone new, not someone from her own clan. It felt weird, finding someone within her own clan; they were like family to her.

Hopping again on her paws to look over heads, she lost her balance and went pummeling into someone’s side. ”Oomph,” she groaned, blinking her eyes open in a… was it yellow or green fur? She narrowed her eyes, face still pressed into the stranger, contemplating the colors.

Iqhawe had joined another pride. The decision had been difficult at first, since the disbandment of the Kwa'Kikombe. When he was travelling with his brother, Hali, they had spoken of trying to get the Kwa'Kikombe up and running again or something like it. But then Hali found a pride that welcomed hybrids and while Iqhawe could have joined him, he turned it away, not ready to leave the feeling of home just yet.

So why had he chosen to join the Ela? It was their Sky Ceremony that drew him in. Shows of power without the malice of battle behind it. It was similar to the games of Kikombe that everyone used to play in his pride. His paws ached to leap into the fray and join them, but he was told he had to become a member for a while first.

Now that he had joined via their Tree Ceremony, he wasn't completely sure what to do. He had been milling around with the other rogues for a while, trying to get a feel of what came next as he adjusted to the new pride's life, when he got so caught up in his own others that he bumped into another. Looking down in surprise and embarrassment, he found himself gazing at a lioness with a pretty brown coat and bright green markings.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you!" He apologized immediately and crouched down to get a better look at her. "Are you alright?"

The green mane -no, yellow?- moved out of view for a moment and she found herself looking into purple eyes. Onawa stared, fascinated by the color. The purple eyes asked her a question, right? Shaking her head, she bounced back a step to see the rest of the owner of the purple eyes and the yellow-green mane. It was a lion. Who lacked tattoos. Her grin widened.

”Are you new?!” she asked excitedly, bounding closer once more to peer closely into his face. There were very few new rogues this year and she was excited to interact with at least one of them before the end of the festival. She was absolutely dying to know about the world outside of their lands; not that she ever wanted to leave but hearing fanciful stories were fantastic.
