Who: Naliya and Ayshia<br/>Where: Sweat lodge<br/>When: Afternoon<br/><br/>Mira flushed slightly at Naliya's having to remind her she didn't have to worry about mating Kerr herself, feeling more than a little foolish that she'd had to be reminded of the kinship between them.  Naturally she was closer to her mother and the younger children, sharing a hearth with them, and rarely interacted personally with Kerr all that much.  They were each so busy with their own roles within the camp, it was true, but she felt foolish for her oversight just the same.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened along with Naliya's at hearing of Ayshia's previous association with Lars, and she wondered whether her two friends might want to talk by themselves.  She was the only one of the three of them that hadn't yet had first rites, and though she was curious to learn more about the experience might have been, she was glad Naliya asked the question instead.  She wished she could be more outspoken, especially around these two, but at times like this she felt that she didn't have a lot to contribute.  In some ways she felt as if she were a lot younger, not able to share in their experience, yet in others she felt as if she were already in charge of a family, with the help she gave her mother in watching over the three youngest of her siblings.<br/><br/>"I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed," she said, offering Naliya a grin, happy that her friend had someone's interest, though she'd been wanting to get to know Lars better herself.  Still, that didn't mean she couldn't, only that things would remain as friends between herself and Lars, which she was fine with.  "He must really like you, to want to stay and babysit," she smiled.  "He doesn't strike me as the type who takes to children that well, with how quiet he usually is," she added, remembering to keep her own voice low, so no one could overhear their conversation, especially Lars or Valko.<br/>
