Basitin Courtship Rituals
🕑 Added 2020-03-22 16:00:03 +0000 UTCReally puts the "court" in "courtship". Suggested by zharis!
It's not that Basitins are completely without romance, it's just much more private and up to individuals. They're not big on public displays of affection.

"Just curious" is the hallmark of someone hiding something, and the king can read you like a wide open book Natani...
Stephen Gilberg
Can't really see any blush, but she certainly acts like she is.
Kai Elanzo
I'd love to see a sidebar develop on that relationship.

Sealeen: *sensually fills out form 1132-B and hands is to Lynn.* Lynn: *gets a nose bleed.*

The Eastern Basitins of "So Many Keith's" [ http://twokinds.keenspot.com/characters/ , https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/Twokinds-World-Map-296521380 ] are formal to a fault. But I think the Western Basitins would just add another tattoo to keep score [ http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1022/ ]! 😁

It makes so much sense that that is how Basitins would do things....at least on the western side of the island :P

Curiosity killed the wolf.
Paul hage
so who you marrying
Went Brown
Sorry Natani but Adelaide sees right through you.
Estragon
She perks up when she mentions Keidran rituals.
horoisawolf
somehow the king looks sad, when she says that Basitins aren't known for romance
Kaija
The king have good advice! XD

*hastily fills out Form 1132-B*
Mr reaper

Paul hage

Mr reaper

i'm reminded of the Wombats from Digger. http://diggercomic.com/blog/2008/07/15/digger-497/ http://diggercomic.com/blog/2008/07/16/digger-488/

I bet it doesn't help that Natani probably has Keith's scent all over her by now with how much time they spend together.
Kubulai
Oh, Natani. Even back then, everyone pretty much knew.
LupusK
Even Adelaide sees right through you Natani. ^^

Ooh, a dialogue heavy sketch. I wanted to suggest one of those, but I wasn't sure if Tom would draw it

Still wolves run deep.

Natani: "HEY, KEITH? Went to the king. Sounds like a snoozefest. We're doing my thing." Keith: "O-oh. Okay. Uh... when do you want to start?" Natani: "Whenever you like. We can do it tonight if you want." Keith: "Tonight? But... don't you need a Keidran shaman? To keep from getting... b-burned?" Natani: "Burned? Why would we be... Oh! The fire thing! No, no. The firewalking thing is a Tiger ritual. Each species of Keidran has different ceremonies and rituals." Keith: "So... what's the Wolven ritual?" Natani: "Run." Keith: "W-WHAT!?" Natani: "You run. I try to catch you. Tigers have their little campfires. Wolves... have the hunt. If it's a quick hunt, I have the dominant role in the relationship. If it's a long hunt, you get the dominance. If the hunt lasts longer than a day, you can... pick a different mate. (We'll just ignore that last part. More of a technicality, really.)" Keith: "So you... hunt each other?" Natani: "No. I hunt YOU, little rabbit. So, whenever you're feeling... game, let me know. Oh, and one more thing. Like most Keidran rituals, the Hunt is traditionally performed... in the fur." Keith: *Gulps.* "I'll, uh... I'll think about it." Natani: "I'm sure you will. Till then. See ya round, my prey." Keith: *Gulping intensifies.*

I'm the same way. Not really big on showing others my affectionate side, especially in public.

Is wolf courtship the same as Leopard courtship
Ardenx Delvou
AT ALL TIMES. It's the only thing I just Can't wrap my head around! Both Natani and Clovis are Characters who's Voices are so Abiguously Androgynous that they can Pass for Male without at all raising suspicions even around Particular people. Eric in Natani's case who somehow never caught on despite his Extreme Ultra attentiveness when it comes to I.D.ing Female Keidran. And All of Clovis's Men in his Guild who Should know Full well if he sounds a bit more Feminine. I really wanna know what they Sounds like just So I can satisfy my curiosity
Quite Possibly a Sombrero
Facial expressions approved!
The Sexy Beast
Anyone else try to imagine what everyone's voice sounds like as they read the comic?

Des rituels de parade nuptiale? pourquoi veux tu savoir ? je suis juste ... curieux! eh bien ... je vais te montrer ... (bruit sourd) ici il suffit de remplir le formulaire 1132-b avec l'intention de créer une union . Si c'est approuvé, ça peut être ... consommé au printemps avec tout le monde. c'est ... ça ? ça n'a pas l'air très romantique Non ! Vraiment pas ! nous, les Basitins, ne connaissons pas pour votre romance, prenez mon conseil avec le rituel keidran. Si ce que j'entends sur les rituels de keidran est vrai, je pense que keith l'apprécierait beaucoup plus de toute façon.. Quoi ... ?! qui a parlé de Keith? J'étais juste curieux ! ah autant pour moi . suggeré par Z haris
Norvin Fisk
heh, that one is cute. now we just need to know more about Wolf courtship rituals.
Ordithus
Natani the romantic? There's more to him than meets the eye.
Rob G
Heh, I keep forgetting how tall Adelaide is :) Towering over Natani there.
Sharpshooter
Keith would be happy either way
Grey Dusk
Little public displays of affection, just Public Record of Intention
InTheLionsDen
Perhaps Eric has been colorfully regaling the King with his extensive Keidran knowledge.
Keith Keiser
Indeed
Keith Keiser
So long as it's decent
Keith Keiser
You can't really take the King for a fool
Bebere
Eh. Could be fun if bureaucracy were the reason they didn't try taking advantage of the Keidran-Templars conflict to invade anyone ^^
Cleo-San
Long live the bureaucracy...
DCTunnell
Basitins..the bureaucrats of Twokinds
Natani Wolf
Long-eared weirdos
Natani Wolf
That's just pointless. Imma stick with Keidran rituals >:c
Bill Crye the Violence Guy
It’s happening, people.
Terra The Wizard
tsundere levels off the charts
Wolfy-fur
I think it's missing now, we need to know how the keidran rituals are like
Shockblaster
That is the short version for Keidran anyway, if you are a Basitin and want to court another, it takes a few more documents, permission from the Generals, up to 3 weeks of time to process, after which you must wait up to a month for the papers to be delivered, which all require to be signed. Threefold.
Wolf guy
You can’t hide the truth from the king lol
dankm3m3r
Ah of course... curiosity
Nekomimiranger
Blushing Natani is the cutest
