And it can be done in a way that leaves the normal humans none the wiser if they see it, unlike say tugging your dress up until you bare your tummy. But for Maria it doesn't matter, it is tradition and she will follow it dammit. They lost way to much of their ways, so many traditions lost, so many tales forgotten, songs lost to the mists of time, and dances no longer performed. It saddens her so to think that the way of her ancestors, who endured for so long are no more.<br/><br/>“Thank you, sister Wolf, I'm glad you are here."<br/><br/>She is startled that he would address her, she knows she is gone so much that many hardly notice her. Always more tourists to guide around, many who like to claim to be Native American themselves because their great great uncle had a few drops of Native American blood in them. Not that she is a snob, honestly she is flattered that they would think that is something to be proud of. Much better that then being disgusted by it. So she does all she can to educate the tourists, and hey it brings in much needed money to their community.<br/><br/>As her new Alpha addresses them all she lifts her head and looks up at him, it will take a little while getting used to having him in charge. But she knows in her heart of hearts that it is for the better, at least it will be someone they know and not some stranger that has come breezing in and challenging the old leader. This is a friend, kin. The way it should be.<br/><br/>"Tonight we celebrate"<br/><br/>Her face breaks into a grin and she resist the urge to hoop and holler like some teenager, ok so a small cheer might have erupted out of her throat as she stands up and smooths out her dress only to see Alex come over and offer her a bottle.<br/><br/>“Drinking from a bottle are we? Rather.. barbaric.”<br/><br/>She winks and accepts it and takes a small sip before her eyes bulge out and she coughs violently, her eyes watering as the liquid tears it's way down her throat.<br/><br/>“What IS this stuff? Engine degreaser?”<br/><br/>Her hand waves off any further offers from the bottle but she is still grinning even if her eyes are still glittering with tears.<br/><br/>“It had to be done, we all know it and I for one am glad it was you. This way we won't have any major upheavals in how things are done.. or? You got some new decree ready? No wait, don't tell me. Hmm.. All female wolves shall present themselves before the new Alpha and offer up themselves to His pleasure?”<br/><br/>The words said with barely contained laughter, Rayen isn’t the only one that can be a bit naughty at times. Though Maria almost never means anything with it, while she may be chatty and outgoing she rarely takes those extra steps to drag a pack member into bed. She just shakes her head at Tòmas, to expect him to change his ways is as stupid to expect winter to stop following autumn. The man can be annoying at times but it is hard not to grin at him.<br/><br/>"What do you think Gwen? How long do you think he would last if he tried to get us ladies to do that?"<br/><br/>edit: fixed an embarrassing mistake that made her question to Gwen sound like something completely different
