M’Nalie arrive early to the music appreciation clubs weekly meeting. It wasn’t her habit to go normally but since she had gotten married she had started exploring activities that her mate liked. It was part of a tradition humans called dating. M’Nalie had insisted upon doing so as while she had accepted a arranged marriage as her duty to her clan.
She had little desire to follow Caitan custom to closely. That is she had no interest in being tied down by the dictates of Clan, caste and her Mother into a loveless union that existed solely to create the next generation.

She brought the Music all the club used into being and added a assortment of musical instruments that were the usual choices of the club members. To this she added A Caitan instrument. It’s name translated to caterwaul in Galactic standard. If played badly it made a horrendous noise. M’Nalie had no clue what to do with it and kept her distance. Xouchi, her mate, was one of six Caitans who were considered masters of the instrument. As for herself she took up a simple hand drum.it was by reputation a simple instrument that it was hard to use improperly. Or so she was told.

As the club members arrived they took up their instruments. Tonight was going to be a jam session so no planned or formal arrangement. Each musican would add to the sound as they saw fit. Her mate would be running late as his job as a teacher kept him when one of the kids needed more aid with formal musical training. He had suggested she sing but M’Nalie thought he must be making fun of her. All she knew were war chants and warcrys.

She sat and waited not doing much more than marking time till her mate would arrive.
