Fields Of Gold

Internal Instinct - Prompt #5: A gathering is forming at the Shrine of Freyja and all the possible mates are within your grasp. Depict your Felvarg attempting to court/impress another Felvarg, are they shy? perhaps charming.
(BONUS: Chosen pair for Prompt #5 can be paired with one another to have a 10% chance at also producing a single pup.)

maybe fate is a thing after all! ;u;

It was the day, she supposed. The day Amaterasu was introduced to the other young individuals that made up the rest of the Felvarg population that were looking for love. She really wasn't certain she could do this, she had been fretting this for far too long but she was well aware she would be meeting them anyways. It was sort of a tradition of their kind.
Every so often, free felvargs that were mateless would gather at the Shrine of Freyja to meet others who were looking to settle down. Ama wasn't so sure she was among those others, but didn't want to pass up the opportunity of meeting other Felvargs she has not met yet. And maybe... maybe someone might catch her eye.
She did not want to give herself high hopes, but the possibility was there, and she couldn't deny that. She felt as though she were a bit young to have litters of her own yet, but she supposed if she found the right male that was patient with her, understanding, then maybe she wouldn't mind starting a bit early with him. Maybe, just maybe...
Amaterasu's mind wandered to distant places in her future while she travelled in the present, each step taking her closer and closer to the golden fields where Freyja's shrine stood. It wasn't so long ago she made this trip before to alert Freyja that the trees were supposedly dying. She couldn't help but smile at that warm, fond memory. How young and innocent she was back then. The memory was fuzzy, and faded around the edges, as if looking through a filter of an old photograph. But it was still there. And she doubted it would ever dissapear. And now she was returning to the shrine for a different reason. It felt weird, that these beautiful golden, sacred lands would stir up such conflicting feelings within her. Excitement, worry, anxiety, but above all: hope. She felt as though she would get vertigo by all of these emotions fighting to take control. But as she stepped into the golden waves of field that stretched as far as the eye could see, and felt the breeze sweep over her, it soothed her soul and made her feel at peace. And the memory of visiting Freyja rushed back to her once more.
She took the confidence of herself as a young pup again, and proceeded into the fields, eyes scanning for the large statues she was accustomed to seeing way back then, that seemed to have stood miles above her from her small stature as a pup. Her legs carried her closer and closer and soon she saw them. Huh, they weren't nearly as grand as she remembered, but they still felt intense in some way that she could not explain.
Was she the only one here?
"Did I miss it? Am I early?" She asked herself as she looked around and scoped around the area. She was the only one here.
She rounded the corner of one of the statues and practically bumped into another Felvarg, a much taller male with a white and black coat. "Oh! I didn't think anyone else was here, I'm sorry." Ama apologized as she backed up and gave him an apologetic smile.
"Ah, it's alright! I'm usually early to these sort of things, too. It's not that I'm eager, or anything. I just had a feeling that today was destined for greatness." He said, a sound of excitement to his tone.
"I see..." Ama said as she nodded and looked off to the side a bit. Well, that was a disappointment.
"I was honestly hoping just to meet some others around my age that wouldn't mind just being friends, or join me on hunts and the likes. I wasn't really expecting to find a mate, I suppose." The male said as he looked over the horizon of golden fields.
Ama looked back at him, her ears perking up "Oh really? Because I was thinking the same thing... Hm, maybe after this we could go on a hunt if you would like?"
The male looked excited by this invitation "That sounds like a great idea!" He said before he looked back to the horizon and noticed that others were infact starting to show up. "It looks like we have some company now, but I will catch up with you later before I leave to see if you'd like to still go on a hunt... Um, what was your name?" The male asked with a tilt of his head as he looked back at the golden female.
"My name is Ama. And yours?" She asked, her tail wagging excitedly.
"Khalfani, But feel free to call me Kha or Khal." He said with a big, proud grin.
"Khal it is then! I will see you soon then, Khal!" Ama said as she mirrored his grin, her tail still wagging back and forth excitedly.
"Take care, Ama! I hope you meet some interesting folk!"
"And you, too!"
