Lands of the Isj-hai

[Vau]

*In the Dark Depths of the Drakheort a rough hewn orc encampment is nestled amongst layers of vicious defensive fortifications seemingly added to haphazardly over a number of years. Vau guides the visitors within the fortifications and call out to the other orcs.*

Thrak-izg shaûkûrzum kaalgrish-ob agh lârzlob-az. Nargzab-izg maubûr thrak-u loik-ghaara karnmaukumlobaz strok-dhog.

Thrul-throquum-ûr shara agh golug.

*growl* Please come and rest by fire, purebloods, *snarl* mannish and elvish safe food will be brought soon.

*Crystal is frowning slightly as she tries to pick out recognisable words in the orcish around her, but sits by the fire with a smile.*

*Soon a deer is roasting on the fire and an old man, weathered but still hardy and muscular, brings vegetables and mushrooms for the elves and others who can eat them. When the roast is cooked, Vau steps forward and draws his Neresian hook bladed knife in a ritualistic manner.*

Lûp-Udu-az throquum-ûr.

*Vau solemnly carves off a generous portion of the best cut of meat onto a plate.*
Thrak-izg kraashmau-u Crystal-az

*Vau takes the plate and kneels before Crystal presenting it to her.*

*Alina who has been sat quietly observing the sittution, watches Vaus display of affection, smiles to herself and goes back to eating her mushrooms*

*With the slightly hesitant movements of one who is lost in unknown ettiquette, Crystal takes the plate.*

Narnulubat Vau. *smiles slightly impishly* Although I'm not sure if that's the right response since I missed most of that after "bring"...

*snarl* It warrior portion. I give you as honoured guest. Now any may take cut. *He gestures to Sister Alina and the others*

*Vau waits until others have had a chance of cutting a portion, then takes a piece for himself and returns to sit with Crystal.*

So Crystal-az, you say you explain *growl* "Wooing" *rrrrr* how is related marriage that pureblood sister Alina not want?

*Crystal almost chokes on what she was chewing and looks faintly embarrassed*

Um... well it's generally what people call the bit where one person tries to persuade the other to fall in love with them... it's usually a precursor to marriage or... *looks slightly more embarrassed* other stuff which I have no personal experience of...

*She is very determinedly not meeting the eyes of the other people around the fire, it could be the firelight but her face seems to have gone a little red*

"Defender it is normal if A man has romantic feelings towards a woman that he may try and show her how he feels. Sometimes he will do this by sending her letters or poetry."

*She pauses looking embarrased*

"It does not always mean he wants to marry her though"

*growl* Poetry, gifts and letters? *rrr* Do not understand where country of "Rum" fit in. *snarl* but if not always want marriage then why is wooing for marriage only sometime? *rrrrr*

*looks confused* What does Rum have to do with anything? And sometimes there are other things that the person doing the wooing wants, things of which I have no personal experience so you'd have to ask Richard Big cause I'm sure he'd explain it. Or Nathaniel since he's busy wooing his guiadonese lady and they apparently have no inclination to marry.

*blushing she looks around at the others hopefully as if one of them may answer for her*

sometimes they want other things. Perhaps you could describe it as a mating ritual.

Rum-an-tic *growl* 'that which is of Rum?

*Vau looks deeply troubled*

So wooing is meant lead to marriage or to similar *growl* but not other reason?
