Chapter Sixteen

Kave

Kave was beginning to understand the mated warriors that walked around with silly grins on their faces. Having a mate to plow on a regular basis truly put one in a good mood. He had already pondered the face of his first son. He imagined a light green skin with perhaps hair (dark green would be good) and a glowing tattoo of his clan in the middle of his chest. He would be strong and fierce and would be a warlord of his own right. Kave would teach him how to wield a blade before he could walk.

Humility had taken to the life well. Their routine had begun to settle into a nice easy pace that Kave was happy to have. Humility had already smoothed his contact with the other wives. It was great. He could actually breathe without Meadow ambushing him over the latest detail of some party. It had only taken a bit of conversation to convince her of her duties.

“You want me to what?” she’d asked him.

“Be decisive. But fair.”

“I don’t know anything about being in charge.”

“Use judgement. And make a list of the requests you are unsure of, and we will review them once a cycle.”

“And the other women, they’re just going to accept my commands?”

“They will because I have given you authority. In a few days, you shall see that the requests generally repeat themselves. Meadow and Jane have a good idea of the resources available and now that all the wives have arrived, things will finally settle.”

“All of them?”

“You are the last. The best for last, I believe is the Terran expression.”

“Ha.”

Humility did not seem to grasp his compliments. Maybe Kave was doing it wrong. He was going to have to ask Jane to instruct him on how to give compliments again.

He caught her crossing the quad a few minutes later and called out to her. Kave noticed her pausing a moment, nearly considering walking away, but waiting.

“Jane! I told her that she was lovely and smart and strong and the best for last, but she did not seem pleased. She was not angry, but she was not pleased. How may I improve?”

Jane stared at him a moment, raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? Honestly, that’s not my forte. I lean more into field dressing rifles with my eyes closed, not complimenting the ladies.” Jane stared off to the horizon for a moment, and sighed. “But now that I’ve gotten to know her a bit, I’d imagine that she’s just not used to them. Compliments, I mean. Sincere compliments. So she may not believe them at first. Just keep telling her your feelings. She’ll believe you eventually.”

Kave watched his mate closely, trying not to hover and still being attentive to his duties. Humility wandered around, exploring, her face mostly unanimated. Many of the wives gave her a penetrating stare that suggested they were sizing her up. It had been a long time since Kave had seen that stare from a warrior, but he knew from his youth, training with Athen, what it meant.
