Varali awoke on the morning of her coming of age ceremony with a smile and well rested. Her mother had insisted on her and her siblings getting a good nights rest for today. She said they wouldn't want to meet Eywa exhausted. She was right. Varali was beyond excited to become an adult and pass through this milestone, but admittedly a bit nervous about it. A quick look around the hammock told her that her mother was already awake and ready as she was not inside. Her father was gone as well, probably meeting with her grandparents and other family members. Not that this wasn't just as important to him but this milestone meant something different to Vinata and Varali knew that. Her mother was not born in the Navi but came here at a very young age by chance after getting lost from her parents. Vinata's whole life and perspective was changed by this pride and Varali's father Silron'zem. So this milestone just reaffirmed that Eywa did exist, that she watched over her children and that everything she and her children experienced was because of her. Maybe it wasn't entirely true but her mother believed it.
Varali looked over her siblings for a moment before making her way out of their family hammock for the last time. She would live in a single hammock until she found someone to form Zahalu with, the bond, one that would never break. Of course Varali didn't really think about that and in some way she was like her mom. She didn't think that a mate or cubs were in her future. Her mother only said "we'll see" with a laugh when she mentioned it though. "Mother, I see you." Varali beamed when she saw her mother sitting outside of the hammock, her eyes trained her paws.
