<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Ayshia.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Who:</strong> Valko<br/><strong>Where: </strong> Cooking hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong> Afternoon<br/><hr/>Ayshia felt clean, warm and a little excited as she headed toward the cooking hearth. She had not worked on any of her projects so far, but she didn’t care. The day had been good, so good. Strange though, with her  thoughts suddenly so angled toward finding a mate for herself. It was most likely her father’s worries that made her think about it so much. He was a good man, very concerned for her and she couldn’t – and would never – hold it against him. <br/><br/>Entering the cooking hearth, she filled a basket with various root vegetables. She was looking forward to the summer harvest; fresh mushrooms, green leaves to make a salad… Anything but carrots and turnips would be good, even though she loved those too. Once her basket was filled with enough vegetables for the camp, she hooked the basket on her hip and almost went for her usual spot when she saw Valko sitting there. The pouch of spicy pepper hung at her belt and she hesitated. <br/><br/>What if Naliya was right? What if he was interested in her that way? What if her prank made him change his mind? Ayshia wondered as her feet took her toward him. She figured that if he couldn’t take a small prank from her, he was most likely not  one fit to be her mate. Now how to get that spice into his tea? The answer presented itself when she saw him tilt his cup to sip his tea. It looked like he was reaching the bottom.<br/><br/>“Valko, if you want to warm up, I’m quite sure Mira and your sister will leave the steam lodge soon. It’ll still be warm… would you like more tea?” Ayshia offered as she placed the basket near his feet and got her cup out from under the vegetables. She looked up at Valko from her crouched position and smiled at him. “I wouldn’t mind getting it for you, I need to fill my cup too anyway.” She added, trying really hard not to betray herself in her smile or look in her eyes. Tamen would know she was up to no good at first glance, Ayshia was sure of it, but would Valko know her well enough to even suspect she was going to take revenge in the form of a prank?</div>
