				~<strong>Lorna's son Thomas delivers the news of lunch being ready.&nbsp; His journy starting in the</strong> <strong>common cooking hearth</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=post;topic=167243.0;last_msg=7814323)~<br><br>Running from the cooking hearth Thomas comes to a skidding halt in front of the headman's hearth.&nbsp; "Unka Kerr!!!!!&nbsp; Lunch is ready!!!!!"&nbsp; Not bothering to wait for a reply he runs to the Fox hearth once again stopping only long enough to shout his message before sprinting towards the Mammoth Hearth.&nbsp; "Mammut, Vanyel lunch is ready!!!!!"&nbsp; Once again rushing off without waiting to hear a reply after all he's only 5 and has a mission to complete.&nbsp; The next hearth is the Reindeer Hearth where he stops again, "Sis come on lunch is ready!!!!"&nbsp; Thomas isn't really sure if his oldest sister is there or not but still he had stopped anyway before making his way towards the Crane Hearth the last stop of his run.&nbsp; "Tamen, Ayshia lunch is ready!!!!!!"&nbsp; Tamen looked up from his work and chuckled, "Yes little one I know.&nbsp; I've heard you at every stop along the way now run along and go get your lunch we'll be along shortly."&nbsp; <br><br>Thomas looked over at the large hairy man with a surprised look on his face.&nbsp; He knew who Tamen was but he was still somewhat scared of the large man with long whiskers.&nbsp; "Yeah... ok..." Thomas stammered before rushing back to tell his mom he had delivered the message.&nbsp; Running back down between the hearths he called out again this time without stopping.&nbsp; "Lunch everyone!&nbsp; Better hurry or Dalia will eat it all!"

A new set of clothes, because some of these were too wet to be worn again, a thin absorbent skin, something to scrape the sweat off her skin, her tea kettle with some of the tea leaves. While she was plundering her stash that was getting increasingly small, she noticed a small brown pocket tied tightly. A grin bloomed on her face, as a plan etched in her mind. She had worn the pouch’s content for wining a dare, last summer. It was a dried pepper of some kind. She remember the first time she tasted it – which was the dare – and burnt her tongue for taking too much. She had spent a week without tasting anything. She knew she’d have to be careful. She did not wish Valko any harm, and so the quantity used would have to be enough to sting and surprise, but not enough to burn his tongue…<br><br>As the plan etched in her mind, Ayshia went toward the sweat lodge, waving at her father as she saw him. She ducked into the tent, worked the central fire so that it would come to the right height and temperature, and she started to shed layers. He hissed when the coarse fabric of her winter clothes rubbed against her raw hands and pondered how something this small could hurt that much, when a much bigger cut bothered her less. Soon, the warmth of the sweat lodge had chased away the chill that had settled in her bones, and since she was alone, Ayshia laid onto one of the built in seats, on her front with her head on her crossed arms. <br></div>

She was feeling rejuvenated after their romp outside and her time spent with Lars. She didn't know why she had been avoiding the large man since he came. He was a very kind and warm person. She wanted to get to know him better but right now all she wanted to do was get into the warmth of the sweat lodge. Once she had her things she hurried there. She smiled when she saw her friend all stretched out on the bench. She stripped out of her clothing, unconsciously running her fingers along a scar on her side she had gotten from a bad accident as a child, then sat on another bench. <br><br>As the heat began to chase away the deep chill which had settled in her she sighed and relaxed, closing her eyes. She opened one of her eyes and looked at Ayshia then said, "So... you and my brother were trapped in that hole together for awhile. You were there laying on top of him... all close and cuddled up. I know he's the one who pulled you down in there but are you... interested in him?" She got the feeling her brother was interested in Ayshia. He had been asking about her lately, something he hadn't ever done before. She wanted to know if the feeling might be mutual.

She was too comfortable and her head had been playing the scene over and over. Falling on top of Valko and staying there because Mira fell on top of her. She had not had a man since her rites the previous summer. She was beginning to wonder now if she had had the occasion, but just not the eyes to see it. Naliya’s question came in time with her thoughts and she took a moment to think of her answer.<br><br>“My father and I spoke of me getting married this morning, you know. I think he’s afraid I might leave the camp and leave him alone, but I don’t want to leave the wolf camp. This is my family and I don’t want to see you people only at summer camps… Until this morning, I had never thought of Valko or Kerr as…” Ayshia appeared to be looking for a particular word. She propped herself up on her elbows before finally answering. “Potential mates. When father mentioned Kerr to me, I felt like running away. I can’t see myself with him, at all. Your brother is different. I think I could grow to like him more, I don’t know.”<br></div>

				Who: Mira, with Ayshia and Naliya<br>Where: Sweat lodge<br>When: Afternoon<br><br>Mira stopped at the reindeer hearth just long to make a quick cup of tea and to hang her heavier out wear to dry and gather fresh clothes to change into before heading to the sweat lodge, not surprised to find Naliya and Ayshia waiting on her.&nbsp; She stripped out of her wet clothes and took the closest empty bench, curious to hear Ayshia's answer to Naliya's question, which she'd caught the end of as she'd come in.&nbsp; She listened as her friend spoke, nodding sympathetically.&nbsp; "It would be hard to only see you at summer meeting," she agreed quietly.&nbsp; "I don't see myself as being a headman's mate either," she added.&nbsp; "I don't think I'd make much of an authority figure.&nbsp; With the twins and Dustin it's different, but for a whole camp?"&nbsp; She shook her head and shrugged slightly.&nbsp; <br><br>"Valko does seem to like you quite a bit," she added, turning the conversation away from herself and back to the original questionn, not wanting to seem as if she were eager to have attention focused on her.

She nodded when they both said they couldn't see themselves with the headman. She had to agree. "I can't see myself with the headman either. Besides, he's your Uncle Mira. You don't have to worry about it. He hasn't said anything to me but I think Valko really likes you Ayshia. He's been asking me about you and he's never done that before. I know our parents would approve. You know I wouldn't have any objections to having you as my sister. Maybe... you should give him a chance." she said then grew quiet for a bit before asking, "What about Lars? He is part of our lodge now..." She knew her own budding feelings for their newest member but she wondered if either of them felt the same.

Ayshia wondered, and her eyes went from Mira who had just arrived to Naliya. Was Valko interested in her? Sure, he had commented on finding her beautiful but that was just to get back at her for saying he had beautiful eyes. Wasn’t it? Ayshia felt increasingly uneasy, having been unable to see this coming at all. “I didn’t notice anything different. I think he’s barely said three sentences to me that were not of the ‘more tea please’ kind for the past year.” Aysha said, puzzled. <br><br>Could it be because, like Naliya, he was shy? Ayshia knew that she wasn’t exactly the most shy person of the camp and that her manners could come across as intimidating sometimes but Valko knew that… If she had not noticed his shyness before, she couldn’t accuse him of feeling shy around her for something like this, now. Could she? It didn’t matter, Ayshia decided. She’d be more careful around him if it was true that he was seeing in her a potential mate. Careful not to hurt his feelings, of not being so outspoken so he could feel comfortable talking with her. He’d get used to her way to talk, her way to think and sometimes in this exact order too…<br><br>The question remained. Could <em>she</em> see in him a potential mate? It definitely had crossed her mind – or rather almost did but she snuffed the thought right away – that they could share the pleasures. She certainly wouldn’t have thought this if it had been Kerr or Lars under her in that hole. Thinking of kissing Valko felt odd, but not entirely unpleasant. “It all depends on him, I guess. If he really wants anything to do with me, he should let me know.” Ayshia said softly, so that no one near other than her friends could overhear. She didn’t want her words to be reaching Valko the wrong way and she trusted her two friends would not do it. <br><br>And then came the Lars question. Ayshia was quite sure it would surface as the unease grew between them. Ayshia hung her head, resting her forehead onto her hands. “I met Lars last year. At the summer camp… he was chosen for me.” Ayshia said and she scratched the side of her neck. Hair sticking on her skin that was finally getting sweaty made it itchy. “There was a Mamutoi camp closer than ours from the Fox’ and yet he came here. I don’t know why he left, but I was afraid he was here for me, and I had… other more personal concerns regarding what we’ve done together…”<br></div>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/krystal_dragoness13/Naliya2.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong> Ayshia and Mira<br><strong>Where:</strong> Sweat Lodge<br><strong>When:</strong> Afternoon<br><hr><br>Naliya couldn't keep the shocked expression off of her face at that revelation. She also couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Neither of them had really talked about their first rites other than they'd had them. Ayshia saying hers were good, Naliya saying her's were fine. They hadn't said anything other than that and neither had pried further. Naliya really hadn't wanted to talk about hers. It wasn't that it had been <em>terrible</em> but it certainly hadn't been what it was supposed to be for her. The man had done very little to put her at ease, and of course she had been very, very nervous having to do something so intimate with a total stranger, and he had focused more on what she could do to please a man than what a man could do to please her. It hadn't been completely bad and while it had hurt for a bit she had gotten a little pleasure out of it. She had heard Mamut had been very angry with the one who was observing them when she found out they had allowed such a thing. Mamut had sat and had a private talk with her afterwards apologizing and telling her that experience hadn't been what it was supposed to be.&nbsp; <br><br>"Is that why you have been acting so strange around him?" asked Naliya softly. She wanted to ask more but it was a touchy subject with Mira there. She didn't want to say the wrong thing and make her more nervous than she surely already was. She wanted to ask if he had been bad. She knew she definitely didn't want to have anything to do with the one who had done her rites. Or maybe Ayshia had fallen for him. That thought made her heart drop a bit. Surely if he had a choice to make he would choose the bubbly, fun and beautiful Ayshia over her; plus he was obviously familiar with her. She had always admired her friend so much and often wished she could be more like her. She was normal but still very unique whereas Naliya just felt so very different. It didn't help that several people from other camps either teased her or completely avoided her, whispering things about her behind her back. The members of Wolf Camp always adamantly stood with her though, something she was eternally grateful for. She often thanked the Great Mother for putting her with these people.

She knew what whatever she said, her friends would not spread it. “He was good with me.&nbsp; I believe the woman of his hearth will be gifted with a very attentive lover in her furs.” Ayshia said, not without a healthy dose of red to her cheek. “I was weird around him because I didn’t know if I had been… ah… well, worth the effort, you know.” Ayshia cleared her throat and pulled all of her hair over one of her shoulder, so it wouldn’t stick so much to the skin of her back. “If I have issues bringing this up with you two, with whom I share everything, imagine how I was bringing the topic with <em>him</em>.” Ayshia chuckled, thinking how easy it had all been in the end. <br><br>“And just so you know, girls, he’s not here for me. I think he’s giving someone else his attention.” Her roguish grin and pointed stare at Naliya made rather obvious who that girl was. While Ayshia had been completely oblivious to the fact that she was interrupting something between them, the conspiracy that had followed to catch her. And Ayshia doubted that Lars had stayed behind just to watch the kids. He had never particularly cared for them since he had arrived. So what other motives did he have, to stay out in the cold, than to keep company to Naliya?<br></div>

				Who: Naliya and Ayshia<br>Where: Sweat lodge<br>When: Afternoon<br><br>&nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; <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.&nbsp; Still, that didn't mean she couldn't, only that things would remain as friends between herself and Lars, which she was fine with.&nbsp; "He must really like you, to want to stay and babysit," she smiled.&nbsp; "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>

She toyed with her hair a bit, gathering it and pulling it over her shoulder. Then she toyed with her hands as she confessed barely above a whisper, "I really like Lars... a lot. He made me nervous when he first came here. He looks so stern and all... and you two know how some people from other camps can treat me. But we were talking earlier and he's actually very sweet. He even told me that strange isn't always a bad thing. I would like to get to know him better." She couldn't help but grin happily at her two best friends. It was nice to share such things with them. What Ayshia said about him being good with her got her thinking about sharing such things with him herself. She wondered if it might ever come to that between the two of them. It made her feel both excited and nervous. She looked at Ayshia and asked, "You don't like him in that way then?"

She wasn’t laughing at her friend in a mean kind of way. She knew she was of a similar shade only minutes ago. She reached out for her cup of tea, which was on a corner of the bench she was keeping all to herself. After a along gulp, she heard Naliya’s question. She let out a small exclamation of surprise keeping her mouth full of tea, then she swallowed and shook her head before she put the tea cup back where it was. “No, I don’t. I’m glad that I got him to initiate me, and it was rather funny that we both thought the other might want more out of it, but no. I don’t like him this way and he doesn’t like me this way either.”<br><br>“We’ll become good friends, I think. Now that the air is cleared between us. I don’t feel so embarrassed in his presence.” Ayshia said and she smiled. She was happy for her friend. As she had just now understood, it wasn’t hard feeling for someone, but to find someone who would be sharing the feeling might be harder. She’d have to give Valko a chance. He didn’t inspire in her the same feeling than thinking about Kerr, which was already a good point in his favor and while in the hole, she had thought of sharing pleasures with him… well avoided the thought, as in didn’t to think about it… But would she love Valko? Would he love her if he could barely speak to her now? Ayshia let a sigh escape her lips, half longing, half content and rested her head onto her arms again.<br><br>“I’m happy for you, Nali.” Ayshia said, and quite sincerely too. “And the thought of becoming your sister is rather interesting.”<br><br></div>

Still smiling she looked down at her hands and said softly, "Thank you. I honestly didn't think I'd ever find someone who would be interested in me. At least someone I would like too." She looked up again at Ayshia and said, "I've always considered you a sister anyway but actually being family would be nice. I'm glad you'll at least give Valko a chance. He's not shy and quiet in the same way I am but he still is shy in his own way. He's nervous about saying the wrong things to women especially. I know how he feels. I don't know how to let Lars know I like him too. Or if maybe he already knows. I wasn't even completely sure if I was just imagining that he might like me or was just being friendly until you two confirmed it too just now." She smiled over at Mira and said, "And I consider you my sister too you know. I know you have enough of them yourself but you two are the only ones I have." It was nice to talk about the way she was feeling for Lars with them. She didn't have her mother to discuss such things with right now. Even if she did she probably would have preferred turning to her sisters anyway.

				<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Ayshia.jpg)</div><br><strong>Who:</strong>Naliya &amp; Mira<br><strong>Where: </strong> Sweat Lodge<br><strong>When:</strong> Afternoon <hr>Ayshia considered the words of her two friends. Naliya and Mira seemed to agree that the man who was a few years her senior – was it five or six? It didn’t matter – was indeed interested in her and worth giving a chance. She didn’t doubt the latter. Naliya was her closest friend, along with Mira, and as a child of the same hearth than Valko, she shared many common traits. Valko’s words from the bottom of his slippery sink hole&nbsp; came back to mind. He said she was stunningly beautiful. She had put it on the account of an answer to her tease, but perhaps, like her, he had disguised a truth with a teasing tone so that if it was not welcomed the consequences were minimal?<br><br>She let her friends talk uninterrupted about feeling like sister for a while, as she started the usual ritual to clean her skin from the sheer layer of moisture that covered it. Ayshia was introspective for a moment, but her mind went back to Valko. What had she done to earn his attention? She was still somewhat shocked that she had. Ayshia knew she could trust his sister, that Naliya wouldn’t say what she said just in hopes to match her best friend with her brother. “Nali, is there something I can do to make Valko more comfortable?” She asked during a silence. “I’ll need to talk to him sooner or later and I don’t want to do the wrong thing and make it harder for him…”<br></div>

She hadn't ever thought of anything like that. But thinking about how Lars had managed to get her to open up and talk with her gave her some ideas. She began to clean her skin as well. "Well... Lars got me to open up by asking me about the animals. You're definitely going to have to approach him first. It's not likely he'll come to you at first. I guess... just get him talking. He's always trying to think of ways he can make life easier and improve our tools. If you're struggling with something maybe you can bring it up to him. I can't think of anything really wrong you could do to chase him off. He has a good sense of humor so very few things really get to him. He's just afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing; especially to a woman he likes." she replied to her friend. She hoped things would work out between them. They would really be good together.

While talking to people was something that came somewhat naturally to Ayshia, when she forced herself to speak to someone or had to speak before the whole camp, it was as if her ability for coherent speech just vanished. Well, she had a reason to talk to him today, she wouldn’t have to find a topic right away. All she needed was to find a way to slip a bit of the powder into his cup in a way that he wouldn’t notice.<br><br>“Hmm… I don’t have a clue about tool-making or flint-knapping for that matter, but I do have a use for his tools in my trade.” Ayshia said, more talking to herself than to her friends, but still talking loud enough for them both to hear. Ayshia sighed and appeared to be paying attention to a small scrape on the side of her foot. It didn’t seem to get infected<br><br>“I wish mother was still here. She always had good advice when it came to people. She probably would have spoken to me about considering a mate way before my father did…” There was a sadness in her voice, but Ayshia was at the stage of grief where she remembered the departed one with a fondness and sadness, rather than acute sense of loss and emotional pain or even anger.<br></div>

I miss both my parents. I'd like to know what they think of Lars and so many other things." The couple of months her parents were supposed to have been gone had turned into over a year and a half now. It had been hard on her at first because she had always relied so much on her mother's gentle understanding and wise advice. While her father sometimes had a hard time understanding her and could seem distant at times she knew he loved her dearly and he had always protected her fiercely. They may still be alive but it wasn't like she could just speak with them whenever she wanted. She wondered if they might come home this year. To get their minds off such things she said, "What are we going to do the first day of spring? I know I for one am going to ride around on Tikka to give her a good run and wander the forest and plains to see what is new."

Her dare wasn’t for&nbsp; Mira however. She wouldn’t do this kind of things to Mira who had yet to be initiated. Her mischievous thoughts were for Naliya. “I'm not sure what I'll do..." And then she turned to Naliya to speak what was on her mind. "If you kiss Lars between here and the day of the spring celebration, I’ll give your brother a kiss.” Ayshia said. Oh it could backfire on her half a dozen different ways. One of which was giving Valko false hope to a relationship with her…&nbsp; but somehow, this didn’t appear to be the worst. Kissing Valko had absolutely nothing repulsive, it was quite the opposite. Hopes weren’t totally false, since she was considering it, right?<br><br>Nah, Ayshia believed it could backfire because if her friend would probably not have the guts to go and get that kiss from Lars, she knew Lars to be bold enough, confident enough, to take that kiss from Naliya if he was truly interested.&nbsp; Ayshia also hoped that if Valko learned that she had kissed him out of a dare, he might be hurt. She’d have to be careful with the way that would be handled. Either be straight forward about it if she wasn’t sure of her feelings, or to tell him that she wanted to do it anyway if her feelings towards him had taken a turn for the best.&nbsp; <br><br>Almost done cleaning up, Ayshia started to consider what she had to gather before leaving. Would Naliya’s desire to have her brother take Ayshia as mate be a big enough&nbsp; desire to give the young woman the courage to kiss Lars? Ayshia almost regretted speaking the dare. She knew she should think, then speak. Her mouth had put her in trouble more than once, but it was a lesson she had yet to learn, and was not sure she ever would… </div>

Then she closed her mouth and shook her head to try and get a hold of herself. Thoughts of actually kissing Lars made her blush even deeper. She took a deep breath and got her spinning thoughts under control before trying to speak again, "You mean you want me to kiss Lars before he kisses me or just any kiss with him?" Saying it made her turn even redder, if that was possible, "Do you mean in front of you or... someone? Just... just what do you mean?" <br><br>She wasn't one to normally turn down one of Ayshia's challenges but this one was a bit crazy. She didn't know if she would ever have the courage to kiss Lars first. But the fact it would actually get Ayshia to kiss Valko was tempting. She knew Ayshia would be having the same reaction she was if she had to kiss Valko. She had massive butterflies in her stomach just thinking of it.

Ayshia giggled at Naliya’s reaction to her dare. She was looking for a reaction and she had one. Ayshia was nowhere near cruel however, and while she was laughing at Naliya in a very friendly way, she didn’t want to put so much pressure on her friend. When her laughter subsided enough for her to form words, she reassured her friend. “I don’t really care who initiates the kiss, Nali. You have the benefit of not being the one having to do it. Whereas if you exchange a kiss with Lars, <em>I</em> will have to kiss your brother. I think the change will be rather obvious once you two have kissed for the first time, it doesn’t have to be before me.”<br><br>And as she spoke, Ayshia just understood another way how this could backfire. Would she really have the guts to walk up to him and kiss him? She wouldn’t have a choice. Ayshia bit her lips. She was in so much trouble, but she was thankful to be a little harder to read than Naliya or else she’d end up on the other end of the teasing. Great, now she’d be stuck with images and thoughts of kissing Valko. She’d have to clear up her mind, or else she’d mess up her prank with the spicy powder in his tea. </div>

The butterflies subsided a bit but still fluttered at the thought of actually kissing Lars. Of course, would it really be that bad if she had to initiate the kiss? It could really prove to Lars that she was seriously interested in him. She noticed the unsure look on Ayshia's face then she came up with an idea of her own. She smiled a bit and said boldly, "Well it seems only fair to me that if you kiss Valko before I kiss Lars then I will have to initiate the kiss with Lars." She was pretty confident with the way things were going with her and Lars they would end up kissing before either Valko or Ayshia had the courage to kiss. As she said it just seemed more fair to her that if by some miracle Valko or Ayshia decided to steal a kiss first the dare would still be on.

There would be feelings involved and while she wasn’t worried about&nbsp; Lars or Naliya getting hurt. Their mutual attraction was obvious. The two of them would go along well together and Ayshia knew the man to be a quite decent lover. It would have been easy for her to fall for Lars, but the chemistry between them was not one that would lead her to want him as a mate and she knew that Lars thought the same way, or at least appeared to.<br><br>The issue was Valko’s feelings. She could see herself kissing him without problem. She had felt a certain desire for him down in the snow hole. She was not being honest with herself and she knew it. She was simply afraid to look into how being so close to a man she found to be attractive made her feel. His words, although a reply to a taunt of her own, were playing in her mind. He found her stunningly beautiful. The physical side of the attraction was definitely not an issue, if he had said the truth and not just said these words to make her blush. Now she had to see if they could talk, spend time together without getting on each other’s nerves. Ayshia was quite confident that it would go well.<br><br>“Many things can happen&nbsp; before the first spring day, Mira.” Ayshia said in a matter of fact kind of tone. “Lars’ interest in Naliya will either be confirmed or not, same with my interest in Valko. I am sure that if either one of us finds out that a kiss would be improper, the dare will be off. “ Had she become so reckless in her dares that Mira thought she would not care if someone got hurt? Ayshia was always making sure that her pranks or her dares would be harmless. And frankly, this dare was on her a lot more than on Naliya. Ayshia didn’t think Valko would dare to try and kiss her unless she had been quite obvious about being interested in him.<br><br>&nbsp;</div>

We wouldn't just be kissing for the dare though. The dare is just a fun little thing between us." She smiled a little, "I see it as the little push Ayshia will need to acknowledge her feelings for Valko. I get the feeling they will be good together." She blushed lightly, "If they end up kissing first for some reason too it could be the little boost between Lars and I. Like Ayshia said though, if things aren't going in that direction for any of us the dare will be off." <br><br>She couldn't imagine anything that would make her not like Lars anymore but anything could happen. She continued cleaning off, remembering the feeling of his hand on her back. It had been nice and felt natural. Then working with him to take care of Tikka had been so wonderful. She wouldn't mind spending such time with him every day.

I told him while were stuck that he has very beautiful eyes, and he replied that he finds me beautiful.” He had said stunningly, but Ayshia already felt like she was sort of boasting, she didn’t want to make it so.&nbsp; “I guess I should have taken it as a clue. I thought he was just teasing me.” Ayshia said, almost ready to head out.<br>&nbsp;</div>

It was the third time in two days that she was sick, even if she had managed to keep some of the food she had eaten in between bouts of sickness. It wasn’t Oena to remain in bed, alone, so late without a good reason. <br><br>She turned onto her back and rubbed her breast gently. They were itchy, and achy. They had never felt this way before or during a period, speaking of which it had been a while since she last bled. It had been a while since she had shared the pleasures with Vanyel. Well, a while for them was less than a week, but still. With her breasts feeling so strange, she really didn’t feel like being touched. Maybe it was time to assume that she was, indeed, with child.<br><br>Once the nauseous feeling passed, Oena decided to get dressed and take a breath of fresh air. She quickly found herself outside with Lorna, Tamen and her beloved husband. She passed her arms around his waist and rested her head onto his shoulder. She was seeking the comfort of his arms, the warmth of his affection. “It’s a beautiful day.” Oena said softly. Before coming out, she had thoroughly rinsed her mouth and quickly downed the lukewarm tea that her husband had left her before going out. “I’m sure the children will be quite pleased when they will finally be allowed to come out and play.”<br></div>
