Welcome to Gaia! ::

She never thought this day would come and, as she opened the heavy chest that contained her basic essentials, she never thought she'd be wearing this outfit. Several turns had passed since her arrival at High Reaches, and over those turns she'd scrimped and saved every mark that fell into her hands in an effort to buy something nice. Originally everything had been spent on Arlie, all money she made going towards seeing that her sister wanted for not, but after the Impression those two turns ago there was no need to really try that. The money then was turned towards her own interests and wants, and eventually she'd had enough to buy....a dress.

It was simple by the standards of most, probably, but for Haveli it was to most beautiful and most expensive piece of clothing she would ever own in her life. The dress she was meant to wear to the hatching feast the day she Impressed. The outfit she would wear with her lifemate at her side, and the outfit that in the future she would look at fondly and recall that special day for the rest of her life. Today was going to be that day, and as she slipped into her dress she could feel and hear Sathanaseth's approval.

It suits you. His words hit her harder than any punch ever would, straight to her gut and threatening to bring her to tears. Tears which she'd managed to hold back, which she still was holding back. Haveli didn't cry, period. Now let's get moving. I have no desire to go but I know you do. The brown was not hiding his dislike of the idea of crowds at all, the mental image of him frowning ever so clear, but Haveli laughed it away gently as she finished up her hair, grabbed a beautiful red cover, and hurried out. We're not staying long.

Haveli laughed again. "We are staying until I'm completely satisfied, understand?" He did, reluctantly, and followed at her pace as the reached the feast. It was instantly overwhelming for the pair with people and dragons galore, but nothing that Haveli couldn't handle and nothing that Sathanaseth wouldn't learn to suck up and deal with (for now). Perhaps it would be best to start with someone calm and quiet to talk to? She knew the names and faces of almost all those who Impressed alongside, save the transports from Western. Those she would meet later, be sure of that, but for now? There was one rider she wished to congratulate.

Looking for Kinye and hers - a small green, if memory served - Haveli carefully moved through the crowds with a rumbling brown at her side. This was...the moment of her life.
