Tersias snuggled into him, licking his nose, and batting at his ears a little with her paws. "I didn't get a chance to say hi properly yet, did i?" she smiled "Hi" she grinned, rubbing her nose against his, then realising there were people watching them and blushing. Seema rolled her eyes "Get a room already" she said in a bored tone "You got the crystal, blablabla, hooray"

"I'm glad you seem to be feeling alright," said Mira, amused. "If you think you are up to it, we can take you to Skalahkruh for your initiation. If not, we can stay here a while, or I can let you ride on my back. Seirei is still on the mend."

Seirei smiled, but didn't blush. He didn't need to be embarrassed when he was with Tersias anymore, he felt that their bond had strengthened in that way. He frowned when he heard what Seema was saying.
"Finding your crystal is one of the most important rites of passage in the Tribe. It joins Tialkans together in light and stone."
He realised that Tersias felt a little embarassed showing her affection in front of everyone else, so he leaned away, but only just a little.
"Soo, when you're feeling better we really have to get your birthday going" he grinned. "Or we can place your crystal in its place."

Tersias laughed, and licked Seirei's nose again, then turned to Seema. "I really didn't want to have to confront this today, but it can't go unsaid" she said in her sternest, most mature voice "I am not a child any more. What's more, you're my sister, not my mother. I am living my life the way I choose Seema, not the way you choose, in every aspect. If that means that I'll make a few decisions you disagree with" she looked pointedly at Seirei, "Then you can like it or lump it, to be honest, Seema. I'm a big girl now, I don't need you to protect me, or tell me who I can and can't trust. In fact, I never needed that to begin with, I just didn't want an argument. Now, unless you can deal with that, you can flaming well stay out of my life" She turned away from Seema and walked across to Mira. "We may as well go to Skalakruh now, get it over with" she smiled "And I'll walk, thanks, I'm fine" she chuckled. Seema just stood, open mouthed. Nobody ever spoke to her like that! She didn't know quite how to respond, somehow she couldn't find a witty comeback.

Mira hid a chuckle at the back of her throat, and smiled down at Tersias. "Of course, but should you feel tired or woozy, let me know. I know you are not a child anymore, but I don't want you to collapse again, okay?" She waited for Tersias' reply before leading the small group down the mountains.

Seirei hid a smirk behind his wing as he stretched them, standing up to follow them to the Stone Circle. "It's a bit of a long walk. I'm not used to getting to places by foot," he laughed. "He placed himself behind Tersias, in a protective way, but he also wanted her to be close to him.

Tersias smiled and turned around to Seirei, nuzzling her head into his neck. "I didn't do the wrong thing did I?" she whispered so only he would hear, terrified that she'd screwed up. Seema blinked a few times, and shook her head, pulling herself out of her daze. She prepared to follow, silent.

Kiba caught up to the group before long. "Hey, can I join yall now, or is it still family only?" Kiba smiled and waited for their response.

Mira laughed. "We are on our way to Skalahkruh, for the initiation rite," she said. "You may join us, if you so wish." She had a smile on her face as they continued down the mountains.

Kiba walked next to Tersias and whispered to her, "Nice job standing up against Seema. I heard that even from where I was." He smiled at her and continued to walk with them. He didn't want to bring up the fact that he could teleport them there. It seemed part of the experience to walk. Even through the foot of snow, even if it was getting thinner and the snow had stopped falling.

Seirei continued to walk behind Tersias. He smiled when he saw Kiba walking in front of him; it must be hard for him to resist the urge to teleport, but it was part of a Tialkan's journey to go to the Stone Circle, so it was more of an experience to go by foot.
"Say, Kiba", he whispered in his ear. "Got the party ready for Tersias when we get back?"

Reaching the base of the mountains, Mira could see the formation that was Skalakruh. "Come on, we will be there soon," she said, making sure that they were all behind her. The sun was warm and bright, perfect for a birthday celebration.
