WILL I BE TOO SLOW? ☆ blood division ceremony

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

Lumia's somewhat drowsy gaze rose at the approach of heavy footsteps, her green gaze seeming to light up as Diya came into view. Similarly to both Danny and Vayne, she was overjoyed that her mentor was around to see her complete the ceremony. A tired grin graced her muzzle as Diya's touched her head, Mia's words warm as she responded, "Thank you, Diya... I'm really glad I managed to do it." A warm feeling of pride hummed incessantly in her chest, almost enough to drown out the exhaustion. Well... almost. She could still feel the lure of rest clinging to her back, and the polar bear's offer of a ride was especially tempting. In any other circumstances, she might've turned down the offer, valuing her pride too much to let herself be carried. However, she had been through a lot already, and found herself nodding, a groggy mutter leaving her, "That would be... nice, yeah. I'm feeling a bit unsteady on my paws." She had no idea of how long she would sleep once she returned to her quarters, but she had a feeling it would be a lengthy bit of time.
