<div class="floatleft">(http://americablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kili-203x300.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Sitting by the fire at the cooking hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>Valko was relieved that none of the rather bold statements he was making were causing her to run off. She was blushing but that wasn't such a bad thing. He thought it was cute. Some of the things she had said had gotten him to blush too. Maybe she was actually interested in him too. The thought made both his heart and his stomach flutter. He still couldn't get thoughts of the feeling of her body pressed to his out of his mind. He set the cup aside and brought out his knife to help her with the vegetables. He was a bit surprised by her question. She wasn't one who had a habit of asking such random questions - especially of him. After thinking for a moment he replied, "I guess I would have to say blue. What is yours?"<br/><br/>Then he remembered something he wanted to show her. He had been going to use it as an excuse to talk to her. Now seemed as good a time as any. "Oh, I have something I wanted to show you." he said and quickly finished the vegetable he had been working on. Valko reached into his pocket and pulled out a small roll of leather and unrolled it to reveal an ivory needle and showed it to her. It was much smaller than the ones they normally used especially where the eye was. "I happened to break off a little sliver of flint when I was working with some and it looked like a smaller version of the drill used to make the holes in your needles. I know you and Vanyel are always talking about how you wished you had smaller needle to bead with. So after I saw this sliver I started thinking I might be able to use it to make holes in smaller needles. I can't tell you how many I broke trying to figure it out but I think I've finally gotten the process down. If I get the flint hot it really slices through quickly. So do you think this might work better than what you have?"
