She also saw Pedro, the two elders, Scar and Rainbow approach. They had been holding a conference.
It was the old man who spoke. He had an adornment in his hand.
Pedro spoke. "Gerald, the elder's message is this: You are a very brave man who put yourself in danger to save the life of a man you barely know. Only a warrior or someone who has done an exceptionally brave act in defence of his tribe can wear such an adornment. He, the elder, and Scar, are the only two men who are allowed to wear such an adornment."
The elder spoke again.
"But he is in a quandary," Pedro explained. "He cannot give this it you as long as you are not of the people. He asks that you honour them. He wants you and Aiko to join the tribe so that he may properly honour you by offering you this adornment. It includes the snake's fangs."
Gerald asked the obvious question. "How do we join the tribe?"
"Through an initiation ceremony at tonight's feast. It is very similar to the one that would take place, if a man or woman from another clan were to join."
"And what does the initiation ceremony entail?"
"A dance followed by a physical union that symbolizes tribe unity."
"Physical union?" Aiko asked. "What do you mean?"
"Sex," Pedro said smiling. "Remember every woman is, to use a 'civilized' word, married to every man, and every man is married to every woman. Therefore, you join the tribe by, if you'll excuse the use of an inadequate English word, 'marrying' into the tribe. Of course the marriage has to be consummated."
"Oh," Aiko said stretching out the sound.
"And what about you," Gerald asked Pedro.
"I've been invited to join the tribe too. They say I have brought much good luck to their people. Good luck is something to be kept."
"Give us just a minute alone," Gerald said.
Pedro walked away.
"Let's go for it," Aiko said. "This is so exciting."
"You're insatiable," Gerald said smirking.
"So are you," she replied. "But we aren't really doing anything we haven't done before. The only thing that's different is this totally unexpected turn of events."
"True," he agreed.
Gerald signalled to Pedro. Their guide was talking to Scar and Rainbow.
"Tell them we would be very honoured to be of the people," he told Pedro.
