Sanemi woke up early that morning, he had received only a few hours of sleep before being woken up by a horrific nightmare. The memory of the dream was long gone, but the fear that he felt was still etched into his bones. Still shaken by the night terror, he got up grimly and took a hot water bath. He let the warm water patter onto his back, massaging his sore muscles. He relaxed a bit after he exited the room. He was aiming to have a morning run, but was called out by the guards.
"Lord Sanemi, the chief, requests your audience in his study." The guard informed him. Sanemi let out a huff and trudged behind the guard.
He was led to a room full of different assortments, knives, blades, maps, artwork and so much more. He could say that Giyuu liked collecting stuff. The guard left the room after Sanemi entered.
"Quite a collection isn't it?" Giyuu asked
Sanemi kept his mouth shut, he didn't know how the alpha would react if he spoke out of turn, best to stay on the safe side. Yeah nah, Sanemi ain't following the rules.
"Looks like bits of junk to me." He stated.
"Finally!" Giyuu exclaimed. This took Sanemi by surprise.
"Over a half of these things belong to Shinobu and Sabito. Whenever I say that it's junk they just laugh at me. I'm just happy that someone shares my opinion." Giyuu explained, his voice monotone.
"Well, shouldn't you clean it up?" Sanemi questioned.
Giyuu gave a nod.
"Well, this isn't the reason I called you here," The alpha spoke. Sanemi waited for him to continue.
"Since you will soon be part of this tribe, Shinobu thought it'd be good if I gave you a tour. Plus, you seem like a person who doesn't stay cooped up indoors." Giyuu finished, looking at Sanemi's attire.
"Only if you agree to make this stupid engagement official." Sanemi seethed.
The alpha only stared at him.
Sanemi grunted, "When is this?" He questioned.
"Right now if you want it to." And Sanemi gave a nod.
He was excused from the chambers as he went to change.

Sanemi went outside the large manor and found Giyuu waiting, with two horses at his side.
"We have a lot of distance to cover so I thought it'd be best to go by horse." Giyuu justified.
Sanemi walked up to the alpha, his white robes flaring behind him, he stepped up to a white horse and led his hand of the coat of fur.
"What's its name?" Sanemi asked, mesmerised by the white horse's beauty.
"Her name is Rina, and this is Lida." Giyuu spoke, patting his own horse at the side.
Sanemi put his lips against the horse's ear and spoke a few lines of gratitude. It was a ritual practised everywhere, when a person gets a new steed, they must thank the animal before riding them. Sanemi got on the horse and watched as Giyuu did the same. He followed the alpha through the roads.
In all his life Sanemi had never thought that Aqua would be so big. Honestly, the place could easily fit ten of his tribe.
"I see that the space is new for you." Giyuu pointed out.
Sanemi nodded in a daze," We never covered this much area." He admitted.
Suddenly he felt small, like a tiny lost puppy. He knew this was going to be the unfamiliar place in which he would have to reside. He felt like he could drown in the crowd and no one would ever even look for him. He felt scared.
