Rhiannon hadn’t dared at first, although she knew that Nerissa wasn’t opposed to her intentions. She had hemmed and awed for a while, until the next bonfire; deciding that she couldn’t wait anymore after all and that this was the perfect opportunity. They had dated a while beforehand, but never made things official and this time it was about to change.

“My dear,” she spoke tenderly, raising her hands to cup blue cheeks that she so adored. Nerissa leaned into the touch, eyes closed as she simply enjoyed the touch that she’d been given; the water sloshing gently in her horns and stirring up the fragments in them.

“Let’s go to the bonfire.” She suggested, kissing Nerissa’s cheek softly and watching as the blue Opexo’s eyes opened at the touch and question. It almost appeared to be wonder in her gaze as she stared at Rhiannon, as if she dared not believe the question.

Nerissa eventually nodded her head firmly, “I would be delighted to.” She replied and allowed her hand to be grabbed and then she was tugged along for the enormous fire that already blazed into the night, spreading its warmth and making the pair sweat.

Once they were close enough, Rhiannon released her hand and their paths parted for only a moment as Rhiannon went to get help from the men to help her woo the woman of her dreams. She didn’t need much help, as she knew that the other woman was already sold and their hearts already belonged to each other in their minds. It couldn’t hurt to put extra effort in the moment though.

Nerissa simply waited, until she spotted Rhiannon as she had rejoined the crowd and danced. Twirling, stepping from side to side, going forwards and backwards… basically moving around and calling it dancing. The priestess wasn’t much of a dancer, but it looked like she was having the time of her life.

Nerissa simply watched and allowed her heart to swell up with emotion for the other Opexo, allowing herself to be impressed and staring at her, taking in the bright colors that she had painted upon her lovely shape. She adored the woman with her entire being and she was glad that the other had taken the first step to make it official for them.

It still took a while for the shy Opexo to join though, encouraged by Rhiannon’s dancing and motions to approach; the colors hypnotizing her until she stepped forward and closer to the crowd that moved and writhed around her.

She didn’t mind once that her hands were captured yet again and they danced together; wildly and without abandon, caring little for what others thought. Even if it did take a little while for the shy Opexo to loosen her restrains enough to do just that.

They laughed together, cared little if there was a slight stumble and a daring caress against their bodies; freely touching and without any shame, although making sure they kept it chaste and wouldn’t get too much raised eyebrows. What counted the most, was that the two female Opexo were enjoying themselves and the night at the bonfire.

Hours passed and eventually they leaned against each other, giggling and staring at each other and they both knew what this moment entailed. Arms wrapped around each other’s waist and neck, catching their breath for just a few minutes with big smiles on their faces. Rhiannon soon grabbed her hand once more and then led her away from the bonfire and Nerissa willingly went, to ensure that their bond would have the start to be recognized.
