Although Kanu consulted with no one outside his tribe, and then only to arrange a place for the newlyweds to stay once they are pronounced husband and wife, none of Summer Wind's relatives are surprised by the news. The women, however, must all see and admire the dress, compliment the bride-to-be on how well it suits her, and enthuse profusely over the one-shoulder style of it. Moon Shadow informs them the asymmetry is very eastern, and Smoke Cat notes the "Silver" trim and "frost" flowers.

Summer Wind also says, very seriously, "This is more than just a beautiful dress. It is I-understand-you. And I... I have not thought to give you anything in return..." Kanu kisses her then, a soft, sweet kiss. "Oh yes, you have. You have given me everything." Since Kanu, meaning "intelligent", has chosen a time when he and Summer Wind can be alone for the offering of this special dress, it is followed by an uncounted number of other kisses, of several different varieties, but all lovely.

On the other hand, the young woman is thoroughly tired of waiting. The dress, with its compromise of sheer, and solid, and lace, seems ideal to her. So Summer Wind says yes, it would please her very much! She adds that she, too, would like to be joined, or bound, or whatever, with her family in attendance, even if that means having multiple weddings. And Summer Wind grins back at Kanu. "Perhaps," she teases, "by the time we are finished getting married, we might actually be old enough."

"I had this made especially," he tells her, "because the short dresses worn by brides from my region just didn't seem right for you. Yet I wish to be wed in the sight of my family, and you would swelter in a traditional northern gown." Kanu grins. "You are still too young. I am not certain that I am not too young. But if it pleases you, I will marry you anyway." Summer Wind, for the first time, agrees that she feels too young. She isn't ready to settle down and start a family immediately.
