<div class="floatleft">(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/krystal_dragoness13/Naliya2.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia and Mira<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Sweat Lodge<br/><strong>When:</strong>Afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>Naliya couldn't keep the shocked expression off of her face at that revelation. She also couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Neither of them had really talked about their first rites other than they'd had them. Ayshia saying hers were good, Naliya saying her's were fine. They hadn't said anything other than that and neither had pried further. Naliya really hadn't wanted to talk about hers. It wasn't that it had been<em>terrible</em>but it certainly hadn't been what it was supposed to be for her. The man had done very little to put her at ease, and of course she had been very, very nervous having to do something so intimate with a total stranger, and he had focused more on what she could do to please a man than what a man could do to please her. It hadn't been completely bad and while it had hurt for a bit she had gotten a little pleasure out of it. She had heard Mamut had been very angry with the one who was observing them when she found out they had allowed such a thing. Mamut had sat and had a private talk with her afterwards apologizing and telling her that experience hadn't been what it was supposed to be.<br/><br/>"Is that why you have been acting so strange around him?" asked Naliya softly. She wanted to ask more but it was a touchy subject with Mira there. She didn't want to say the wrong thing and make her more nervous than she surely already was. She wanted to ask if he had been bad. She knew she definitely didn't want to have anything to do with the one who had done her rites. Or maybe Ayshia had fallen for him. That thought made her heart drop a bit. Surely if he had a choice to make he would choose the bubbly, fun and beautiful Ayshia over her; plus he was obviously familiar with her. She had always admired her friend so much and often wished she could be more like her. She was normal but still very unique whereas Naliya just felt so very different. It didn't help that several people from other camps either teased her or completely avoided her, whispering things about her behind her back. The members of Wolf Camp always adamantly stood with her though, something she was eternally grateful for. She often thanked the Great Mother for putting her with these people.
