Returning to the Harigga this morning I was so happy to report I had 41 satchels of salt. I looked everywhere for someone to tell. Seemed the main fire was cleared out. I did find one of Kam's Men who alerted me to trouble and I grabbed my medical satchel and headed out.. following the trail in the tall grass. Shi followed too.. and we met up with T'zuri and baby face.. AKA Slick. We joked and jested... till I gathered enough info to see that T'zuri's father was missing. There were blood splatter marks... and grass trails... all in all it didnt look good. I tested one of the spots of blood and it was definately human. Down the line abit.... we lost Shi and Kam... I believe they followed another trail. Meeting up with Fonce was at first a good thing. He made me feel good when He told Slick... "Keep an eye on my healer... if anything happens to Her... I'll take it out on you measure by measure" Well... proud smile?? yes.. puff up of chest?? absolutely... the look on Slick's face? priceless. More traveling.. more blood.. and T'zuri was getting nervous. I readied a hypo with a seditive.. just in case. From there on out.. things just went flipping mad. A larl attack... and just us three.. Fonce.. T'zuri and me. The larl went after the Woman's kaiila and Fonce ordered me to get ourselves away. I knew I had a choice.. I knew what I had to do... so I sent T'zuri off on Alpha with the guards... and ran back to Fonce. One thing I would never do is.... leave my Ubar... alone.. with an attacking larl. I didnt interfear however... I had my bow ready... and when the kaiila took a nasty bite out of the larl... then shredded it... only then did I move in. Fonce was none to happy with me... I expected this. But His words ring out in my head with each breath.... "Silken... I am going to beat the ever loving shit out of you as soon as I know your safe" And He seemed to mean it.. being He yanked me almost out of my boots by the collar of my vest. He was so close to my face... His lips just a whisp away... I wanted to just give Him a peck of a kiss and smile... but I knew better. I knew what I had done... and I wasnt going to infuriate Him further. I had disobeyed Him... but I knew the consequences well before I turned back to be with Him. Fonce is the Ubar.. and I did what I did for the sake of the People.. The Tuchuk. Let Fonce rant and rave... let Him do what He must... I will not back down on my decision. I would do it again.. given the chance... I will not run out on family. Period. I shot T'zuri up with a seditive when we found what was left of Her father. She rode back asleep on Alpha and I was on Rocca... Fonce's beast. This isnt good....
Now I wait.....
