It was early in the morning... before any real light of the day had risen. I kissed Jerus gently as He slept and pried myself from His grip. tanya was already up.. blasted slave. But.. I gave her instructions to tell Jerus where I went... and all the details to Jax and Jort. I begged the guardsmen to stay behind as this was important they not be hovering over my shoulder. Not sure if they did or not... will find out if Jerus hears what happened when we get back. Going to the kaiila pens I had my beastie readied.. water.. food and the like put to the bags. Somehow.. Tarra's kaiila just showed up then.. perhaps knowing it was needed. I didnt approach.. I kept supplies for both of us with Alpha. I quietly wove my ways through the rows and to Her wagon and snuck in. I didnt wake Her up to startle Her or in a scary fashion. But instead just told Her.. Sister.. your coming with me... now we can do this the easy way or the hard way... please.. just trust me. Tarra is Tarra... and put up a verbal assault for some time before giving in. We mounted our kaiila and took off to the open plains to a spot I knew well. We talked as the kaiila trudged through the grasses.... well... I talked.. Tarra did alot of listening. She had been mostly quiet of late... to be expected.. but I knew that had this been me.. She would have no sooner kicked me in the ass and said... Silks.. Get over it and live. Ok.. so She has done this before. ::She laughed:: A small stream was approached on the outer rim of the bosk herds and the kaiila's both welcomed a chance to rest and drink. "Its quiet out here... not many venture this far from the Harigga" I said to Tarra.. getting Her nod and watching Her look around. There was the small outline of OutRiders about... I of course would not jepordize me or my Sister by doing something stupid and leaving the plains. Besides .. I liked my neck the way it was. Finally Tarra looked at me and said... "Why are we out here?" I told Her how this was a good place to scream... to rant and rave.. away from the eyes and ears of other's that could not see. Kam had taught me this. Reguardless.. Tarra was not interested as She always had a quiet way about Her and just always let things build up inside Her. I wanted Her to lash out at me so She would maybe feel better as it had always done in the past. I wanted to help Her with the hurt and pain... I wanted to be there for Her... and I wanted to let Her know She didnt suffer alone. I wanted Her to know.. I loved Her more than those that held my bloodline... those that were blood family.. but went about there way without here nor there for other's. I did my usual stuff to irrate Her.... I taunted.. I teased.. I poked and annoyed Her.. but still She didnt give in. Finally I just looked at Her and said... " I know your hurting.. but like you told me. Get off your duff and deal with it. It's life and it isnt fair. " Now.. Ive known for many turnings now Tarra has wanted to throttle me for various things .. but is always restrained. Actually.. I never expected Her to even do anything.. which is why... I was surprised that when I did turn back around... I caught a momentary glimpse of a fist... then stars. Pretty in the day time... and there I was lying on the ground... knocked right out of the saddle... flat on my back with a bloody....throbbing nose.
Uhmmmm perhaps I underestimated this idea.....
