Running her hands over her newly acquired outfit, Dhianeila made sure to take close, considerate looks at it before actually putting it on. Any little stitch or pattern - the ritual of marriage on the planet was certainly something she'd never seen before, so she was interested in more than simply going through with this for the sake of a mission. If she had to do this, she might as well learn more about the ways of the people.

The mixture was certainly interesting, too. And cute, she thought. The idea of the sort of bond being made by creating a pattern on one's partner, nothing expected so the end results for every couple would vary. She figured she had a good idea of most peoples' intentions, so wondered if the patterns on the other crewmembers would resemble intentions of the mission.
