Playing hookey.
Katima elected to stay home from school after the incident with the football team and the cheerleaders. It wasn't that she was afraid of them anymore; Alerron had shown them pain and fear without even doing anything. It was more that she felt terrible for what had happened and more than that for just how disconnected she had been. School had taken a lot out of Katima, perhaps more than anyone realized. She wasn't exactly socialized as a child.

Which is why she decided that with the house to herself, cartoons and Lucky Charms were in order. The funny cereal was remarkably like something she barely remembered having as a child on Korugar before everything changed for her. Tucked up on the couch, she took a deep breath. She hadn't realized how very stressed she was feeling. And how awkward.

"Is is from Starhaven.." replies Avalon, his tone soft. "They are able to fly in space with their wings; they can survive the vaccume of space without a Ring.. But I can not. I can thank him for my wings, however.. But sometimes I think that had I not become a Lantern, then I would not be much of a son to be proud of."

Idly, he toys with a bit of her shirt, rolling the fabric between his fingers as he says even more softly "I... was not raised on Starhaven, so I do not know their customs well. I am a warrior of my people, but not of theirs.. Father wants me to take the Great Hunt and pass that rite of passage."

	Avalon can't help but grin and looks down to Katima as he says "The Great Hunt is when boys go to become men. You must slay a Feartail, the most dangerous and biggest preadtor in Starhaven skies. They can even fly in space for limited amounts of time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah. This is similar to the dangerous training on Okara. Not that anyone had to slay a dangerous predator like that though. Are you going to participate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He wants 'enry and Josh and I to do the hunt." he replied softly. Looking to Katima, he then smirks and says "he said that you had already had your own rite of passage from your tribe, and that he was very proud to know that I had taken an Indigo Lantern into my life."

Katima frowned a bit and opened her eyes before sitting up. What Avalon had said didn't make much sense to her.

"What did he mean by rite of passage? We don't really do anything. I spent time on Okara, but that was training, not a rite."

This wasn't the first time she had heard a rite of passage mentioned outside the Tribe, but she had no recollection of such a thing actually happening.

"You passed your training, right? You earned your ring and your staff... that was your rite." said Avalon with a gentle smile. He then tilted his head to the side, looking down at her as he opened a wing up some to make more room. he didn't want Katima to feel smothered.

"Every people is different. Earth does not have a standard rite, there seem to be many.." he offers as a way of explanation.

	"I was never trained in the sense that I earned my ring, Avalon. My parents died, Indigo 1 came for me, I got a ring. That's really all it was. I was later sent to Okara, but that wasn't a training or an initiation. I've never done anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)
