The Sleepwatching Ritual (Vit’wa Fal) │ Night 3

It matters to me a great deal that we finish this, John.

(insp.)

I don’t know what to say.
Then say nothing.

You see, when Minbari become close as we have become close, it is tradition that they spend three nights together. The male sleeps and the female watches.
Watches what?
During the day, we all put on the face we think will do us the most good. But at a certain point in your sleep, as you relax, your true face is revealed. If the female approves of his true face, she will stay two more nights and continue to observe.

We each have our obligations. Mine for now is to return home.

One day, they’re shooting at you, the next day they’re taking you out to dinner. What a universe!

They’re doing it to us again.
