Welcome to Gaia! ::

Petra walked through the jungle basin with her head held high. Her bronze eyes kept forwards. She was a strong female, strong in mind rather than of body. Though she could hardly be called weak in body she paled in comparison to the size of her brother. She was if anything of a delicate stature though she knew few who would turn around and challenge her.

She had proved herself as her brothers advisor, she kept her eye on him and felt she protected him. She could take the hits her fur colour threw at her, despite Eywas blessing. She could stand all of those things, though she often grieved in private, she showed nothing but strength when she stood beside her brother. She could face anything, that was her will, that was the will of Eywa.

All of that paled next to the reason she was marching to her brother for. Her stomach turned in mighty lurches as she padded and clawed her way up the small rise to stand next to her brother.

Keeping her gaze forwards she smiles a little smile directed secretly at her serious sibling. "A penny for your thought brother?" She whispers, her gaze sweeping over the masses below. Taking a breath the soft brown lioness let a smile lift her lips further. "I need to speak to you..Privately." She cleared her throat. She would normally just say what she thought, that was her way, but the reasons he was here, she wanted to keep private, at least until she had her brothers blessing.

Clach waddled beside the lioness a fierce look on his maw. He nearly matched his friend and he was here as a smaller, though very furry crutch. If Petra couldn't get her words out, which he knew was most unusual for the lioness, he would fill in the blanks. He was here for encouragement to get Petra to tell her brother of what had conspired. He grunted an acknowledgment at Pietr and waited in a half slump for them to retire to some where more private.

Petra smiles lightly, following her brother. When they had moved away from the main crowd she leaned in and brushed her forehead against her brothers wavy mane. "How are you?" She asks, she had to ask her brother came first always he was after all important to this place and though she had her own things on her mind it was important to ask how her brother felt.

She sits slowly glancing down at the honey badger as he waddled up and sat close to the lioness.

"Just say it already, you always do this." he grunts, Clach was, as always, a grump, but he also saw that Petra deflected her problems and concentrated on everyone else's.

Petra flushes slightly and looks up at her brother letting a long sigh roll over her lips. "You don't have any..plans..for me to mate do you?" It was a delicate thing to ask, if her brother decided she needed to be betrothed she would not deny him if he said he had someone in mind for her, but, it would break her heart if she couldn't have Txur, still, she had to ask the hard questions. Did her brother have anyone in mind for her? Did he?

Petra flushed slightly, her pale cheeks burning red. "Well..The thing is.." She takes a long steadying breath "Txur has asked me to be his mate." She blurted her chocolate brown eyes dancing happily. She hoped he would approve, she guessed he would know who Txur was. Oh he had to approve.

Clach snorted and shook his head "See, quick is best." He rolls his eyes and looks up at Pietr, he knew the siblings were close and that if her brother did not approve Petra would walk away from Txur, no matter what she felt. it was beautiful really, loyalty to a fault.

She looks up at her brother holding her breath and counting her heart beats, she so needed her brother to say something before she passed out from lack of oxygen.

The lioness giggled, which was a rare thing for her to do, she did't giggle she couldn't be a giggly girl and assist her brother but his words made her giggle. "Oh Pietr, I am so glad you approve! I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't!" She gushes attaching herself to her brother, burying her nose in his mane under his chin.

Clach grunts and shakes his head. "I did tell her there was nothing to worry about. Your sister loves you more than anything you know?" He raises a brow, she always put her sibling and the pride before herself and he saw that all the time.

Petra pulls away and smile up at her brother. "I thought maybe you wouldn't approve he is younger than me and, well, I wasn't sure if I should mate or if you would have anyone in mind..." She trails off and shakes her head "I should have known better."

She chuckles slightly licking her brother on the chin. "You know your help is always welcome brother." She smiles. "I do think that Txur and I can do it ourselves though." She chuckles a little and shakes her head, all the worry she had harbored for this moment had flown away so quickly, she was allowed to be happy, to settle with who ever she wanted. She was just so pleased.

Clach snorted and shook his head. "yer best be getting back to the lad. He'll be wondering whats keeping you." He snorts a laugh and looks up at Peitr. "Think I'll go a scrounging for some food." With that said the complimentary ratel shuffles away.

Petra chuckles quietly "He is such a grump, but he is right." She shuffles up to her brother and cuddles in to him. "Thank you brother. I should go and see Txur, give him the news, I told him I had to speak to you alone." She smiles. Pulling away from her brother she looks up at him happily. "I'll come back later, I need to go and tell him in case he gets worried." She laughs gently and skips away from her brother. "Thank you Peitr, honestly, you've made me the happiest girl in the world." She beams and dances away with her tail held high in the air, happy, proud, excited. She finally had a mate.
