Lion Head Mesa tea at the treedome

for @Toula whenever you get a chance <3 follow up after tuna's initial acceptance into Akashingo

tuna had never experienced something like this before. after meeting the grand high lady herself, she was swept up by another coyote and sent to eat and... bathe? while tuna was glad to eat something and get cleaned up, she hadn't really expected that it would be something that the queen would require of her. and certainly Tuna didn't expect the type of scrubbing that came with her bath. it's probably the cleanest she's been in god knows how long.

so now the lowly fellahin was fed and cleaned upon instruction. with the spoiling done, tuna was then taught the ways to travel through the land of the reeds. and while she liked to believe she had a good sense of direction, she had good reason to believe it would take a couple wrong turns in order for her to finally commit to memory the layout of the underground system.

after the instructions, the other coyote came to bring tuna before the royal blood once again. following what she had done before, tuna comes to press her forehead against the ground in a humble bow.

"y'er majesty," she comes to say while her head is pressed against stone, "am back from m'ah bath 'an all. how can 'ah serve yew now?" she wondered if there were other things Toula would prefer to be called, but tuna would cross that bridge when she got there. for now, she was just happy at the fact that kindness seemed to radiate from the young she-wolf.
