"No no it's okay, we're still learning how to get through our languages together. Oh when it comes for prep there's a few things expected. Of course you have your usual talking to the parents of each family to quaint yourself better after that the bride and groom both do their own things separate but the traditions are the same. A bride will go off to meditate and pray. Now how this is done is up to them, many like to soak in water because water is often seen as a great way to communicate or be close with the Goddesses. I've known some to go to sea for days and days just to think and pray. The talk with a Priest or Priestess, usually it's whomever they want to do the ceremony for them but sometimes it's just a trusted one with the family."

He wasn't exactly one for sitting around and waiting for something dangerous to come to him, but...since he couldn't exactly claim expertise on hurricanes, he had little choice other than to nod. "Sorry, I'm an optimistic pessimist. Believing that the worst possible situation will occur, and either being pleasantly surprised that it didn't happen, or prepare so much that it passes over you..." Aceus would explain. "I'm probably fretting over nothing."
"Ah I bet you find us just as too relaxed about the situation. It's just so hard to say we've heard warnings of storms and nothing happens and heard warnings and everything happens. These are so seldom predictable."
"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best is all you can do. For all we know it could already be on us given the storm right now"
"It feels ordinary to me" Hina remarked "hurricanes usually have a lot more wind. Don't worry Anna, we'll make it through it, if nothing happens great if something does don't worry you got us!"
"mmm this is a bit morbid to ask I know," Anna inquired "Just how bad have you experienced? I''m from the plains, farm country where I'm from, and I've dealt with my share of storms and twisters but something like a hurricane is all new to me..."
"We've had it as bad as pretty much everything is gone." Haru honestly replied. "But we can rebuild, replant, get new livestock. And yes sometimes in the middle of it we've had to mad swim or run for our very lives. Important thing is we make it through together as our family. I'm sorry to you both, I wish we could give more answers but sometimes there's just never telling how bad it's gonna be until it's right on you. Just have to use judgement from what sky watchers and sailors are saying. "

"that's right." She nodded "I'm also blind so I have to get special books for me. They're not readily in Corona so I have to travel to get them when my teachers can't get them delivered. It's okay I don't mind, as long as my mama goes with me. I know I have to start to rely on myself more but having her along makes the experience easier."
