Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:17:23 PM)
oh no no...i'm fine...i have some nice arm candy*she'd smirk slightly at him squeezing his arm*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:18:04 PM)
*he whispered to her* If it's chocolate candy, don't tell dalton.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:19:09 PM)
Know now before you go further, that since your lives have crossed in this life you have formed ties between each other. As you seek to enter this state of ritual you should strive to make real, the ideals which give meaning to both this ceremony and the honor of mateing.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:19:23 PM)
With full awareness, know that within this circle you are not only declaring your intent to be mated before a philiodox of your tribe and your brother, but you speak that intent also to Gaia, Grandfather Thunder, Crow and the Nation.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:19:45 PM)
The promises made today and the ties that are bound here greatly strengthen your union; they will cross the years and lives of each soul’s growth. Do you still seek to enter this ceremony?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:22:15 PM)
*She'd look over to steven allowing him to be the first to answer. She'd squeeze his hand though and look up at him. So that explains the cake*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:23:17 PM)
*Steven had to put some serious thoughts before agreeing to that, sure he actually liked this woman a lot. Some might consider it genuine love. However he knew that it just might be to soon. Given the departure of his former mate, it would cause a whole lot of strife between the family unit they had. Something he wasn't to keen on breaking. But given the talks he had with the two of them earlier he nodded* Yes, I want Tasha as my mate, my lover, and life long companion.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:26:03 PM)
*She'd gaged steven for a few moments and it did not take her as long to come up with her answer* I agree completely ...I want to take Steven as my mate and life long companion

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:26:31 PM)
*Gage)

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:27:49 PM)
*She of course was only concerned at the moment with her own happyness and stevens happyness and of course that dalton found approval in them. After all who elses say really mattered. The Alpha and the Beta and the rest well Tasha didnt care much for what else they had to say about it. She'd squeeze stevens hand again*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:28:01 PM)
*He looked at them a moment and nodded his head then he would continue with his ceramony Daltons voice took on a more superior deep rumble like the begining of a thunder storm as he said the next part..* In times past it was believed that the soul shared characteristics with all creatures of Gaia. It is this belief which assigned virtues to the cardinal directions; East, South, West and North.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:30:01 PM)
*She'd look to steven adoringly*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:31:03 PM)
*steven nodded and felt Tasha's eyes on him, he gave her hand a gentle loving squeeze*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:31:09 PM)
It is in this tradition that a blessing is offered in support of this ceremony. Blessed be this union with the gifts of the East. Communication of the heart, mind, and body Fresh beginnings with the rising of each Sun. The knowledge of the growth found in the sharing of silences. Blessed be this union with the gifts of the South. Warmth of hearth and home The heat of the heart’s passion The light created by both To lighten the darkest of times.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:32:17 PM)
Blessed be this union with the gifts of the West. The deep commitments of the lake The swift excitement of the river The refreshing cleansing of the Storm, The all encompassing passion of the sea. Blessed be this union with the gifts of the North Firm foundation on which to build Fertility of the fields to enrich your lives A stable home to which you may always return.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:32:46 PM)
I bid you look into each others eyes.

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:33:17 PM)
*he followed along carefully processing every word then looked to Tasha's eyes*

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:34:02 PM)
*She'd turn and look into stevens eyes. Her cheeks extremely flushed now with the words Dalton spoke*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:35:20 PM)
Steven, Will you cause her pain?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:36:49 PM)
*he thought on that a bit* As we both experianced before. There are things outside of our control. While I won't do it intentionally, there are things that might happen that does cause pain.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:37:17 PM)
*Her eye brows would rise and she would pinch stevens arm and look at him pointedly...speaking to him with out words*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:37:22 PM)
Is that your intent?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:38:07 PM)
I don't intend to cause her pain. But it may happen.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:38:15 PM)
Geeze steven

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:38:37 PM)
*Looking to tasha next* Tasha, Will you cause him pain?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:39:39 PM)
I will not cause him pain....but i will shake the shit out of him

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:39:55 PM)
Is that your intent?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:40:48 PM)
Of course not...i love him ..i'll never intend to cause him pain and i'll never actively seek to harm him...i'll never allow anyone to actively harm him

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:40:54 PM)
*to bring light of the situation* You know how many garou die from Shaken Garou Syndrome? Yeah, probably none, bit it could happen..

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:41:07 PM)
*She'd pinch his arm again *

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:41:23 PM)
*To Both* Will you share each other’s pain and seek to ease it?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:41:36 PM)
Of course

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:41:39 PM)
Absoultely.... I love her.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:41:51 PM)

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:42:46 PM)
And so the binding is made. Join your hands *First cord is draped across Steven and Tashas hands* [Tasha], Will you share his laughter?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:43:22 PM)
Just as long as he's not laughing at me *she'd say with a smile*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:44:57 PM)
[Steven], Will you share her laughter?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:46:22 PM)
*she'd mouth to him "I love you" while he thought of what to say*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:46:45 PM)
Of course. Im a ragabash.. it's my duty to put the smile on the face of a rather dismal world.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:47:36 PM)
Will both of you look for the brightness in life and the positive in each other?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:48:00 PM)
Always

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:48:09 PM)

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:50:05 PM)
And so the binding is made. *Second cord is draped across the couples hands* Tasha, Will you burden him?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:50:56 PM)
Only with blessings

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:52:24 PM)
Is your intent to burden him?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:53:08 PM)
Never

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:53:37 PM)
[Steven], Will you burden her?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:53:43 PM)
Yes.... she will carry my child one day, but I'll be there with every step. *he was very serious with that answer*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:54:02 PM)
Is it your intent to burden her?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:54:58 PM)
Only to better the tribe and our relationship.

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:55:58 PM)
And so the binding is made. *Drape third cord across the couples, hands* [Tasha], will you share his dreams?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 4:57:00 PM)
Yes

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:58:48 PM)

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 4:58:51 PM)
Yes as she already haunts mine. *he smiled to Tasha*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 4:59:28 PM)
*Grinning at stevens reply about tasha haunting his dreams then he spoke To Both* Will you dream together to create new realities and hopes?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:01:58 PM)

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:02:16 PM)
Absolutely

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:02:31 PM)
And so the binding is made. *Drape fourth cord across the couples hands* Steven will you cause her anger?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:03:42 PM)
Oh of course... im a ragabash... It's my duty as given by Luna herself to test the patience and rules of such things. To do otherwise would be a grievious crime against her.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:04:06 PM)
*She'd Narrow her eyes at him when he said that*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:04:34 PM)

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:05:02 PM)
Is your intent to cause her anger?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:05:38 PM)
It's the nature of the beast... my only intent is to keep her from being angry for long..

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:06:09 PM)
Tasha, will you cause him anger?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:06:18 PM)
*she was still glaring at him*

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:06:32 PM)
Yes...

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:06:45 PM)
Is that your intent?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:07:06 PM)

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:07:29 PM)
*he slightly chuckled at that one and gave her hand a squeeze knowing he'd still love her regardless how upset she made him*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:08:23 PM)
*To Both* Will you take the heat of anger and use it to temper the strength of this union?

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:08:38 PM)
*he nodded* Yes

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:09:24 PM)

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:12:03 PM)
*he nodded* Never

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:12:24 PM)
I will never

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:14:58 PM)
And so the binding is made. *Drape sixth cord across the couples hands**Tie cords together while saying:* The knots of this binding are not formed by these cords but instead by your vows. Either of you may drop the cords, for as always, you hold in your own hands the making of breaking of this union. *He looked down as he worked at the knoots and ran his finger over them a moment before pulling his hand back so they could clearly see the symbolisum of it and truly grasp what they have just done and the journey they have sworn to make together under the watchful eyes of the spirits they could hear the rumbling of thunder in the distance taste the comming of a fresh storm.. *

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:18:55 PM)
*he looked to Tasha and mouthed the words 'I love you' to her. Then turned to Dalton waiting for him to continue*

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:19:12 PM)
*she'd purse her lips and look up at steven. Her eyes getting a bit teary at daltons words*

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:22:51 PM)
*He then said* You are now Honorably mated. *as he began to remove the cords he placed them in the crow shaped mystery box.. He allowed the pink gaia candle to continue to burn.. . He handed the crow box with the cords in it to tasha. He handed the chrystal container with the golden lid that showed a storm over vast hill side to steven..* congradulations..

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:24:25 PM)
Thanks Mouth... much appreciate it man...

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:25:39 PM)
*She'd move and give dalton a tight hug* Thanks Dalton! ...*she'd step back and quickly wipe the corner of her eyes* Wow...it didnt hurt or nothing '

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:27:25 PM)
*He smiled at tasha then looked at the wipeing of her tears* I did not think it was ment to be painful.. I just assume putting up with johnny boy for the rest of his life is painful enough..

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:27:50 PM)
*He offered her a wink* you guys should have some cake down stairs before heading off to new york for your honeymoon yes?

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:29:29 PM)
*she'd turn to look at steven she'd kiss him nice and slowly. A proper kiss if there ever was one*

Steven Vincent (Feb 11, 2011 5:30:12 PM)
*he nodded and kissed his new mate, only finally speaking when she released him* Yeah... probably should do that..... I have some things to pack as well.

Tasha Rackow (Feb 11, 2011 5:36:36 PM)
So thats what the cake was for...dalton your such a sly dog...i thought you were making a joke about steven being taken by me

Dalton Fortman (Feb 11, 2011 5:36:41 PM)
*Dalton left the room and headed back down stairs leaving the candle burning a gust of the storms wind blew out the candle as the clouds begain filling the sky leaving the one sunlit room dark with just the two lovers alone in it as the door closed with a definate thud of finality leaving the two alone in there the scent of the rain the sound of thunder mingled with the pattering of the drops against the roof and glass*
