Anouk's Rite of Merit: Partnership

Description

Gian bit his lip nervously as he recount his flock for the second time. There were still two missing from the mass of sheep bubbling around the wooden gates which confined them. His gaze shifted back to his friend as she gently corralled the culprits further towards the lake, and further and further from the flock they seemed quite desperate to return to.

Anouk was raised to be a guarding Tokota, rather than a herder, but had taken well to the training. She had a knack for interacting with herd animals, so livestock cutting seemed like the obvious choice. Why she had chosen two rather than one, he still didn’t understand. Why she chose the terrible twins was an even bigger question. Surely any other sheep would have been easier than those two young troublemakers? None the less she seemed to almost enjoy the difficult task, rotating between keeping the two young lambs together, and foiling their desperate attempts to return.

The Tokota seemed almost unrecognizable to even Gian. This was both a deliberate attempt to startle the sheep from their otherwise harmless guardian, and a celebration of this momentous event. The hand paint was temporary, and would easily rub off before the day ended. But for now the paint glittered in the mid-day sun. Her collar was mostly decorative, bright with false eyes to scare the sheep. Each tassel was laced with a bell, furthering its function.

Gian exhaled, closing his eyes and listing to the distant ringing as Anouk danced. He would just have to trust her now.
