A/N: that last chapter wasn't as long as I had planned. Everyone is coming now, they are all reuniting again. YAY!
Chapter 5- the feast.
The next day was a blur. Well you couldn't actually call it a blur because it was the most nervous day of Alanna's life, besides the ordeal of course. Everyone had arrived from Tortall and were catching up when Halef Seif announced the beginning of the feast. The feast was spectacular. Alanna shifted from spot to spot talking to Myles and Jon and Thayet and everybody else who summoned her, but most of the time she was by Georges side. She was glad to hear of everyone's happiness for her and George, although Thayet's mention of arrangements had scared her.
Alanna after filling herself with much food smiled at Halef signaling that she was ready. She walked over to George lifted him to his feet, while calling for everyone's attention. She looked into the eyes of everyone around her, her friends, her family, her and her love.
"I have great news for you all."
Now everyone was listening closely curious to hear what the Woman who rides like a man had to say. She gripped George's hand and felt him grip back in encouragement.
"George of Pirates Swoop and I your fellow tribesman, Knight and friend, not to mention daughter are betrothed." There she'd done it.
Everyone jumped and clapped in happiness. Halef let out an outrageous cry of laughter after seeing the reaction and joined in the clapping and jumping. They started to sing and dance around the fire, and others whispered to each other their thoughts of the news. Every single man, woman, and child of the tribe congratulated her with kisses, hugs or nods of approval. George had whispered a few words to her that she knew already but had seamed to light her up even more.
"I love you Lioness," "I love you back George Cooper," she whispered.
