IT'S A TYPICAL STORY ☆ o, merger celebration

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Of all those that now lived within Palmclan, Rhine found Vaas to be one of the scariest. He knew that the tiger could be more than reasonable, as demonstrated by the fact that the merger had happened in the first place, but the other still seemed volatile. Rhinestone would never go so far as to avoid someone or kick them out just because they were occasionally snappish, but he had to admit that seeing others part around Vaas wasn't a good sign. Despite this, Rhine was determined for this not to be a negative celebration. Vaas might've been in a bad mood, but perhaps the leader could make efforts to change that somehow. With this in mind, the tom turned on the spot, venturing towards the layout that had been set up. His pale gaze scanned over all that was present, before he eventually grabbed a rather large fish, as well as a coconut full of coconut water. It was a bit of a balancing act to keep both the drink and the food in his mouth at the same time, but Rhine managed, making his way over to where Vaas had made himself comfortable.

Placing both the fish and coconut in front of the large feline, the rusty red male took a deep breath inward before he spoke, offering the other a smile, "Hello, Vaas... welcome to the celebration! It's good to see you out and about, considering things have been so busy lately. Here's some food and a drink, if you're feeling hungry or thirsty, you know." Rhine shrugged his shoulders casually as he watched the other, trying to carefully gage his reactions. The leader didn't actually think that Vaas would attack him, or anything of that sort, but he sort of did expect to be snapped at. Yet still, he continued on, smiling crookedly before he questioned, "Do you think you'll be participating in the seashell necklace ceremony? It's a big part of Palmclan culture, and I'm sure that one would look great on you, especially with how bright your pelt is." In his head, Rhine hoped that Vaas wouldn't think he was flirting with him, since that wasn't the intent. He was just trying to get the other excited about being truly integrated into Palmclan as a whole, although he wasn't sure he'd be able to get that to happen.
