It seemed as though they both held their breaths until Ibis finally spoke. It seemed as though eternity had passed in the meantime. Eljay held his breath until she eventually said... yes? Sort of? She seemed very awkward in the situation herself and Eljay felt taken aback. He'd never had a leader that was, well, awkward in any way. Towhee was always cold and calculated and collected. Wiffle was probably the closest to it but even though she was gentler and kinder than any of the other leaders he had ever had, she was still strong and clear, too.

Still, he breathed out in relief and a big smile appeared on his face when finally Ibis gave her blessing to their union. His tail waved a few gentle beats as he said, Thank you! It means a lot to me. Even though it was a bit needless to say, considering it was very visible on him how much it meant to him.
