The festival was always a busy time for any alu'nadi in the pride. There were new members, new ceremonies to assist with, new faces to meet, new souls to mourn. She had grown so well into the position, and for a moment here and there she forgot that Gadane was even her husband. She was too focused on assisting her father, or helping coordinate meals and hunter rotations, what Bird clan would offer in terms of assistance with the festival...she was tired.
As she wandered off to see what her family was up to in a rare moment of calm, she decided to go look for her mate. He had been ignored enough, and it wasn't fair for her to not spend some time with him. He seemed to understand her title and the duties it entailed, but she still felt a little bad that he had to get knocked down on her priority list.
So she wandered, trying to look for him. Her first few locations she checked proved fruitless, but she found herself wandering along the water's edge, knowing that the stream was too small for real dangers. Just small ones.
And that was when she finally spotted him, her silly man. |

She didn't mind that it took him a moment to really register that she was nearby. He seemed a bit fatigued, and rather comfortable in his awkward position. He may have more time to rest than she did, but the support he was expected to give in prepping for the festival probably kept him busy enough. There were only so many eyes to hunt for the herbs, to prep new gifts of feathers, to keep an eye on the moody birds to survey overhead and ensure everything was running smoothly.
"I am exhausted," she said with a dramatic grumble, and threw herself down on the ground next to Gadane. "I need a break, and how convenient that you just happen to be here. You can be my excuse that I need a break." She nudged along the side of his body, trying to find a weak spot. "Maybe you sprained something, and as your lovingly, devoted wife, I need to ensure that you heal properly."

Dohi couldn’t help but laugh at her husband’s remark. “No, he never smiles enough. And I think if he openly laughed, we would have to make sure he doesn’t have a fever and is on his death bed.” She mulled over her comment again, letting the silence grow once more. It was companionable, and she appreciated how he would just let her think without prodding her impatiently. Sometimes it was hard to remember to live for herself and not just her clan.
“Well, if I ever get that stone faced and boring, just remind me to not turn into my father, ok? At least I won’t look like him, all grumpy and wrinkly here and there.” Another moment and she turned to give Gadane a look. “But you’re seriously ok, yeah? Sounds like you did better this year, but I am not sure if I would call you a perfect participant.”

Gadane laughed and felt a little bad that they were joking about the wanidatsi being on his death bed but.. he wasn't just the wanidatsi, he was her father and a lion himself so.. it felt well earned, at least coming from his hardworking shadow.
"Don't worry, I'd love you even if you turned into a grumpy old man," he said, leaning over and resting his head against her, "But.. we'll avoid it if we can."
Dohi turned to get a good look at him and pressed the issue of whether or not he was really OK and he smiled sheepishly at what she'd heard about how it went.
"Ehh.. I think I ended up in third place," he said, "And I can't figure out how, I'm definitely not very good at it. S'probably why I hurt so much right now, but it's nothing to worry about. I'll feel better tomorrow."
