Return (Open)

[Akilah Windsong]

Why did Kaja have to ask that question, Akilah despaired, before pasting a smile on. Damara was still watching, watching rather closely in fact. "It tastes wonderful, if only a bit sweet."

Later, when they were out of earshot, she'd explain to Kaja, but for now all that mattered was that Damara didn't find out about the drink.

"Ah...you do know where most things are..." Akilah stroked her chin, thinking. "Everything else you can figure out using those basics...hmmm...." A tour of the rest of the place was out of the question, then. Kaja didn't need to see the same place twice.

And she'd invite Kaja to one of the games her friends were probably playing, but then she'd have to play too. Her muscles would be sore enough tomorrow as it is without any added strain.

Glancing up at the slowly sinking sun, she suggested, "Should we return to your friend, then?"

[Kaja]

Sipping at her drink more she listened as Akilah thought things out aloud. She nodded as she spoke. The sun was lowering in the sky and as much as she would like to spend more time with her she probably should go home and sleep. She was thinking about maybe going to the training tent and doing some exercises that Revin had taught her a few days ago. She really had to practice them so she could get them down. She didn't want the knowledge that he had given her to disappear like everything else from her distant past.

"My Friend?" She asked a bit dumbfounded at first. And then dawning came to her face and she whispered, however it was still in hearing level, "Tebridiar, umm... Well she isn't really a friend as much as an acquaintance I just ran into her." She shrugged. She didn't know really. She supposed she should at least check on her? "Should I at last check on her?" She inquired of her new friend.

[Akilah Windsong]

Oh, not a friend then. Akilah corrected their relationship in her mind--she should stop assuming that everyone who talks together are friends. There were other relationships besides 'friendship'.

Looking up at the sun, she realized she'd have to head home too soon. With a large family like hers, if she got to the dinner table too late there wouldn't be anything good to eat.

And she still had to get Damara her tarts.

"Well, no, it's fine if you don't. I have to head back to her anyways to get Adámas and Vespera, so I can check up on her before I head home." Noticing they had walked far enough from her friend, she added, "Oh, and about before--it's just that she made my drink out blackberries as a prank." With a mischievous grin, she added, "But I'll get even soon enough."

[Kaja]

Kaja was unsure what to do. Finally with a cock of her head she looked at Akilah. "I will come with you." She nodded she also was wondering if the young woman she had run into before had come together and was okay. They made their way back toward where they left her and Kaja blinked. "Wasn't this where she was?" She asked of Akilah. It seemed she had finally moved off and was no where to be found.

Kaja turned toward Akilah and then smiled slightly. "Well I suppose we just have to hope that she is okay." She hoped she was anyway. She then looked back at Akilah and said, "I suppose it is getting late. I think I want to try to practice some training in unarmed for a while." She tilted her head and then said, "I hope we see each other again soon."

[Akilah Windsong]

Akilah nodded, already walking toward the entrance of the city. "That would be nice."

It was a silent and quick enough walk, and she was a little surprised when they arrived at their destination. The girl was nowhere to be seen, her seat vacant. Her horse trotted to her, her pup slumbering lightly in the shade of a nearby tree.

"I guess she left," she answered, shock still filtering in her voice. "I'm sure she'll be fine though, if she's in trouble someone will help her. And the city is safe enough."

"It is late and I have to get home as well," she acknowledged, the sun's last rays making the world a deep orange. "I'm sure we'll see each other soon, we're both here in the city after all."

Giving Kaja a tight hug, she then picked up Vespera and departed, waving as she moved.

[Kaja]

Kaja wasn't as surprised as Akilah. Kelvics moved around especially when they were uneasy. The young horse Kelvic would have moved by nature she was a fight or flight type creature rather then a predator like herself. She would have fled to gain her composure rather then stay and dealt with what was going on. Kaja simply nodded her head in response to Akilah saying she would be okay in agreement. She was sure she could take care of herself she like her had made it this far in her life without dying so she was sure she would keep herself safe.

Kaja was a bit shocked by the young girl's enthusiastic burst of affection toward her by hugging her, but returned it with the same ferver and then watched as she walked off in the direction of her own dwelling while she headed off to the diamond pavilion to train a bit.

THE END!!
