Pardon the wall of text, but I wanted to do a little world building with this piece so I wrote out a quick story

Kees rarely attended traditional Eastern Wolf gatherings, When he does, he stands off to the side, and doesn't engage in the activities. Like many modern Eastern wolves, not wearing traditional dress when attending as well.

Ida was quite the contrary. She dressed in traditional wolf clothing for each event, begging Kees to take part with her each time. She began to have serious doubts about Kees as this continued.

This would soon change. As the Eastern Wolf equivalent to Thanksgiving approached, Ida noticed Kees was rather enthusiastic about it. Talking to her about it and learning a bit more about Eastern Wolf Tradition and customs. When the day arrived, they went to the day's events in the village. Ida quite enjoyed that Kees was engaging and conversing with other Wolf folk, Eating the food with her, and meeting Kees' family.

At this point their relationship is nothing more than close friends. As the night rolled on, they both sat down next to the bonfire in the village square. This part of the celebrations meant for the couples to get to know each other better, or for single Wolves to reflect on their life. Ida intended to go to the bonfire by herself, but poked at Kees for wanting to go to the bonfire with her, joking with him about wanting something more than just a friendship. They both had a laugh.(edited)

After some silence and watching the fire and the other couples dancing, Kees got up to go do something. Ida assuming Kees was leaving became a little worried, but didn't think much of it. After some time waiting, Kees came back, Ida turned to see Kees in traditional dress. She was taken back by his move, happy, yet shocked. Kees asked if she liked it, nodding her head yes. Kees walked around, the bonfire behind him. He beckoned Ida to stand and she did, confused as to what he was about to do, she had a confused look on her face. Kees asked if everything was ok, worried he was messing something up.

After a few moments, The jokes of being more than friends becomes a reality Ida, shocked, watched as Kees set out his left hand. A traditional gesture that had lost itself in the modern world. The gesture symbolizing the beginning of a relationship if the female accepts. Accepting is done by the female putting and holding her right hand in the left hand of the male. Ida freezing before putting her hand in Kees' hand. ecstatic that Kees had done such a gesture. She came back to reality and rested her hand in the palm of Kees' hand. Kees pulled her in, both happy, They began dancing.

Eastern Wolf Traditional clothing is designed around the individual. The colors used in the fabrics complement the fur colors. Younger wolves outfits tend to cover less, symbolizing youth and freedom, while the elders wear more modest clothing, to symbolize the holding of knowledge. Delinquents who still follow some traditions may wear nothing at all to spite the elders, who look down upon such acts.
