[center][color=f26522][h2]Kalani Solle[/h2][/color]
Bride of [color=bc8dbf]Cuwarr Naxremis[/color] and Sister-bride to [color=a2d39c]Sorici Amberra[/color][/center]

Everything had happened so suddenly. One moment she was being circled by some dirty vultures and the next she was having a piece of surprisingly delicious meat stuffed in her face by some Drakken lord with some manners, though even he was a bit strange. He did not have to treat her so kindly. He was a Drakken and she was a mere Gem. She was forced to be here and he had every right to snatch her away and use force if he needed to. Perhaps she was lucky this time around. [color=f26522][i] "They save the best for last, indeed,"[/i][/color] she thought to herself with relief. She did not mind too much when he had touched her face or ran his fingers through her hair. He was at least cleaner than most of the Drakkens here nor was he disgusting. In fact, he was fairly young and handsome. But what was that thing he was wearing in front of his eyes? Was it some sort of Drakken fashion statement?

She chewed on the meat and swallowed it, covering her mouth the entire time as not to be rude. After she was done, she curtsied in front of the Drakken lord and the Gem who he had already chosen as his bride. [color=f26522] "Thank you for your kind words, my lord. I am Kalani Solle,"[/color] she replied. [color=f26522]"And what shall I call you, my lord?"[/color]

She glanced over towards the other Gem who was about a head shorter than her. She was a very beautiful woman who also appeared to be strong-willed. It seems that this Drakken had a type. Hopefully the two of them would get along in the future if they were going to be sister-brides.[color=f26522] "It is pleasure to meet you, Sorici."[/color] Kalani warmly took both of the Gem's hands in her own. It was obvious to Kalani that she was a Earth Gem as it was very obvious to anyone else that Kalani was a Fire Gem. She could not tell what elements the Drakken controlled over though, not that it made much of a difference. 

While she would not admit it right away to herself, she was actually quite fond of the nickname "auburn rose". It was to her knowledge that roses were lovely flowers to gaze upon that also had sharp thorns that cut those careless enough to pluck them. She felt like it suited her. 

But she mustn't get carried away by his sweet words. He was still a Drakken and she had to be careful. This wasn't about feelings or love. It was about protecting her people. 



[hider=Summary]
Kalani is relieved to finally have been chosen. She introduces herself to Cuwarr and Sorici. While she may be okay with Cuwarr, she is still cautious.
