<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Ayshia.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Who:</strong>Valko & Tamen<br/><strong>Where: </strong>Center of the Crane Hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late  afternoon<hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Ayshia wanted to melt and disappear.   The more Tamen spoke, the more she wanted to find a crack in the floor and hide. Her cheeks were taking a darker shade of red and she was pinching her lips, trying really hard not to reply to her father in a tone that would be considered rude. Facing Valko, she knew that he could see it all very easily as she wasn’t trying to hide it from him at all. He was blushing too anyway. Ayshia understood her father’s approval though. To her, he had just given his consent for Valko to court her with the assurance that her father approved. It was, in her opinion, premature and so embarrassing. Was he really so eager to see her joined to a camp mate?<br/><br/>His fingers on her felt like an hesitant caress. As if he wanted to take her hand, but wasn’t sure if she’d welcome it.  It is how she felt it anyway. She could see it, now that Naliya had helped Ayshia open her eyes about Valko’s interest. It wasn’t obvious, and could easily be ignored, but it would be no longer ignored.  She had to look into it, to know if she could come to love him for who he was, rather than to like him because he was Naliya’s brother and a member of her camp. She leaned toward him when both him and her father were done talking and whispered, though Tamen could most likely overhear anyway. “I’m sorry if the old man embarrassed you, I’m beginning to think that he’s eager for a grandchild to spoil.” She admitted with a sheepish smile.<br/><br/>She felt her father’s hand on her shoulder and heard his word about making another wolf. Ayshia turned her head to him and shook her head. “Not another wolf…  Another animal perhaps? A lion, or a horse?” She suggested. The wolf was unique, and Ayshia wanted Valko’s necklace’s main piece to remain unique. He was, after all, the very first man that she considered could become a mate to her. She returned the needle in her container and made sure that all of her supplies were back into the box before she set it aside, out of the way for now. <br/><br/> </div>
