Dovahkiin mating rituals

I believe I should start by simply following the points I made in the first dragon mating ritual post I made.

• The first step of the mating rituals actually makes much more sense to humans than it does dragons. The first step is to get to know your mate, the form a strong bond with them before you decide that they're the one. This is something even people without the dragons blood do..but when two people of dovah sos enter this stage of courting, a likeness can almost be physically felt no matter how strange the other may seem in their eyes.

• The displaying of thu'um can be tragically one sided for a dovahkiin. Most of the time, they are the only one of their kind..so this can be done by them simply showing off mild abilities like "Become Ethereal." However in the case of Miraak..think it similar to a peacock displaying it's feathers. The two dragonborns will shout at each other and into the heavens as a means of showing their power.

• The physical fight after this, as you can about imagine, is also different. It's much more like a wrestling match between Miraak and Ldb, at least one where his intent isn't to murder them and vice versa.

• After the dovahkiin/s decide that they want to make their relationship an official manner, it isn't long before they seek to share the same home. That nesting instinct from their dragon souls tend to rear its head quite strongly once the two become one.

• As for the actual nest building...this can be done in a number of ways. Perhaps one of them will be fire to gather an immense amount of firewood whilst the other piles countless pelts onto their shared bed. It could even be the pair working together to fortify their "nest" by warding the home or preparing it for the cold winter nights.

• Specifically referring to Miraak in this case, his version of the "preening" would be braiding his mates hair and having them braid his as well. It's simple, but it means a lot. In addition to this, frequent baths shared together become a commonplace for the pair.

• While it may seem quite dramatic, the dovah side of the dragonborns will only grow more restless as the final steps of the mating process are completed. This tends to make even the most humane of dovahkiins act animalistic towards any and all that aren't their mate while the mating season is still in affect.

• The ethereal form of the "Dragon Aspect" soon becomes normal for the pair of mates to be seen donning. It's a deep reflection of their very own soul, bearing it for their mate is the most romantic and trusting thing they can do. What else is sweeter than showing your soul to someone and have them say it's beautiful?

• It's only a few days after the revealing of their aspect that the pair will begin the consummation of their union and breed. Usually initiated by roughhousing, the pair will playfully flip each other around and fight for dominance until they tire themselves out.

• While a dovah in a human's body can't physically breed for days on end, they'll have enough drive to do the closest thing possible. Male or Female will typically see strange increases of hormones and libido during the three day period of non-stop sex, feeling no other desire than simply screwing their mate and slumbering the rest of the day after gorging themselves on mead and meats.

• It takes a little longer to know for sure when compared to their winged kin, but once a pair of dragonborns successfully convince, a noticeable shift will happen. They'll both seek solitude from the outside world, having to begrudgingly remind each other that it was still necessary to visits priests and priestesses to endure their spawn's health.
