Lunae offering

Laguna had pointed out the joys of the festival foods before he had taken off to honor the spirit of the moon.  His words echoed in Sakura's head. "I honor the moon by scrying, others do different things to honor the moon."  He had then toodled off to wherever he needed to be, leaving Sakura to her own devices and thoughts.  Honoring Lunae seemed to be what this festival was about, and she did want to fit in, at least to the best of her ability.  She was already taller than most in attendence.  No need to stick out further.  How though?  How did she honor Lunae and the moon?

From what she had gathered, some sort of offering was appropiate.  Offerings needed to be personal.  Memories of home came drifting through, as she recalled some Druaesi hummed and Swayed with the forests in a type of meditation.  Maybe that might do?  Laguna had also mentioned scrying.  Maybe she could combined the two?  Humming and swaying while the moon was reflected in water seemed fitting for the festival.  A lot of the other Enivi seemed to wander to the streams coming back slightly more sedate than they initially left.  Sakura picked an unassuming Lunaeasi pair, both floating glasses of milk in front of themselves, to a smaller stream bank with slowly ebbing and circling waters.  She split off from the pair, wanting to give them privacy, and found her own spot a little further down.

She found a solid looking back and stepped partially into the water her hind hooves remaining dry.  Her front hooves submerged, feathering billowing lightly to follow the water flow.  She waited until the surface had calmed from the intrusion, paying attention to the reflected image of the moon in the water.  Gently, the Ortusi started swaying and humming as her offering and appreciation of the moon.  She felt that the humming had to rise and change with the waves, as bodies of water move with the moon.  Her offering rose to a peak, before trailing off and ending on a prolonged down note, and she stepped back, seeming satisfied with the result.

Sakura retraced her steps to head back to the grouping of Enivi still celebrating, looking to also continue her celebrations.  In her focus, she didn't see the smaller albino Lunaesi fall into pace beside her.  When he spoke she jumped a little, looking down at the individual who had shown her the candy stalls previously.  He grinned a little, commenting.  "You seem to have had some success appreciating the moon and honoring Lunae."

"Did you want to share what worked for you?"

Sakura shook her head, resuming the pace she had before being disrupted by the smaller male.  "It, feels like a birthday candle.  It just doesn't quite feel right to say how I showed my appreciation, and that by saying something, the wish or sentiment won't hold."  She stomped a single hoof to accent her words.

"Maybe it's time for more celebrations, instead of questions?"
