Edie was glad, truly, that Kato had decided not to argue too much when it came to her insistence that she go to the market alone. Truly, the woman was hardly looking forward to it. She would have rather demanded Kato's presence with her the whole time, but that would do nothing but cause issues, she could see from the look Maeve gave them at the request. No, they weren't staying in Africa, but there was no reason to go out of her way to not be a part of Kato's family. After all, Kato may have been choosing to stay in Sacrosanct with her, but they were a part of him. Kato would miss them when he left, and making sure that she liked them and was welcomed back with them would be important to the man in front of her. It was that that she had in mind as she insisted that she would go alone, ignoring the gnawing feeling at the pit of her stomach. She reached up, tracing her thumb down his cheek before she moved up, kissing him deeply. "You'll do no such thing." She insisted. "You'll drop me off at the square like any man would, and that'll be it. You'll see me in the afternoon."

It was that only bit of discussion she was willing to have, happy to have the music to distract her. It was easy to lose herself in it, twirling around and against Kato. She didn't now much about the music, didn't even know if the moves were correct, but it was enough that she didn't care. Kato had that stupid, wonderful grin on his features and it was enough to intoxicate the girl. She would do anything for him, especially if it made him smile like that. He had such a great smile, one that seemed to reach all the way up to his eyes and always drew her in. It was in that that she was content to let herself be pulled against him, dancing until the fatigue seemed to set in her and she spent more time having Kato hold her up than actually dancing. "We dun have to..." She mumbled as he moved her out of the celebration, the girl waving a sleepy goodbye to Mosi before she allowed herself to be pulled back to the hut.

"You can go dance..." She insisted as he tucked her into bed, his own body coming to rest beside her. But ah, it seemed as though the male seemed to have other ideas. The girl was exhausted, sure, but it didn't stop her from pulling the man into her, her body responding to all of the touches that he seemed adamant to place upon her skin. It was within no time that her clothes were discarded onto the floor of the hut, his hands moving to explore her body and coax out the soft moans that poured from her lips. If Edie was shy in any way to the exposed way they were in their hut, she didn't show it, hardly hesitating to pull him down on top of her.

It had seemed like she'd just closed her eyes when the man beside her had crawled out of bed. "Kato..." Edie whined, rolling herself to the side to look at him. She wanted desperately to fall back asleep, to curl back around him. But no, the sounds of children woke her up even further. She sat up only slightly, leaning back on her elbows to stare at the curves of his body. She let out a soft groan, letting out a big yawn before she sat up all the way. "Okay, I'll meet you there," She mumbled sleepily. As much as she wanted to protest, her body's need for food won out, and she was content to kiss him and let him go. She'd just pushed the blanket up and off her, setting her feet down on the dirt to retrieve her clothing when she felt the presence of another in their hut.

The fox didn't look up, instead a smile working onto her features at the intuition that it must have been Kato. "Couldn't get enough of me, could you?" She teased, her gaze finally looking up to meet Lana's form. "Oh." The girl seemed to pale instantly, hurried to pull the bra she'd been wearing back over her head, following suit with the shorts as she didn't look at Kato's mother. It wasn't so much that she minded being nude. She was a Were, after all. More people had seen her naked than she could count, but Kato's mom was different. There was something about her gaze that seemed to peel off layers of Edie, and the nakedness only seemed to allow for vulnerability that she wasn't sure she wanted to show.

She was hardly surprised, really, that she was being accused of sending Kato to market with her. She'd just opened her mouth to explain when Lana continued, seeming to want no answer to the question that was asked of her. Edie's lips pursed together at the accusations that seemed to be held between the lines of her words, the girl moving to fold her arms over her chest as she listened. "I'm not making him do anything," She protested, shaking her head. "I asked him to come to market, yes. I didn't know any better. Once I found out men can't go to market, I told him he was staying here, Lana." She watched the woman come into the hut, the girl refusing to move or back down in any way. No, she was stronger than that. She was Frost's Beta, and that meant something.

But ah, there it was. The accusations, the outright comparison to the wife that Kato had lost. Sophia. She'd yet to have been given a name for the woman he'd lost, but now that she had a name in her mind it seemed to soothe her. Sophia. Sophia. "I'm not Sophia," Edie said simply, her gaze moving to meet Lana's. Yesterday, she'd avoided looking directly at the woman out of nerves, but today there was none of that. Nothing but the cocky, self-assuredness that laced every bit of Edie's personality when she was in Sacrosanct. The personality that Kato loved. "My name is Edith. Edie. And Kato loves me for who I am, not who you think I should be." She frowned, shaking her head. "And as for assimilating. I've been here for a day, Lana."

She stared down the woman, clearly annoyed by the woman. Oh, how she wanted to point out that she wouldn't be staying. That they wouldn't be staying. But no, that was not her place. For Kato, she would keep her mouth shut in that regard. For Kato, she'd do just about anything. "Kato doesn't want me to be Sophia. He wants me to be me, and nothing you do or say is going to change that." She stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and the woman. "I know you do things a little differently here. I know you're a leader of this pack... or herd, that you call it. But back home, I'm a leader. I'm a Beta. And no one talks down to me. Got it?"
