Chapter Thirteen

Shemza

There is a brook not far from where the shelter is, and I take my Lorna there to get cleaned up. Much as I don’t ever want to wash the scent of her from my skin, it does not agree with our decision to keep things between just the two of us. So we rinse off in the cold, fresh water before dressing and beginning the journey home.

It is not as late as it was yesterday, so there is no need to carry her. We walk, my arm around her shoulders, until we come close to the village, when we put an acceptable distance between us. As we arrive at the village edge, my Lorna gives me a smile full of the knowledge of what we have shared, and I confess, it is hard to let her walk away from me after that.

I head for the healer’s hut. It has been some days since I have given proper attention to my craft - busy as I have been with warrior patrols and my project. I’m pleased to find Grace inside. It appears that she has been doing experiments with her ointments again. She makes them for the females to protect their skin as they clean the unused huts ready for Darran and Walset’s arrival. The basic ointment is easy to make - a treatment for rashes and skin irritations - but Grace likes to include strong scents in it. It makes the human females very happy. I often see them trying the new ointments and exclaiming over the scents with delight. It makes my heartspace glad that they can take pleasure in such simple things.

“Good evening, Shemza,” Grace says, the words slow from her tongue, but well shaped.

“Good evening, Grace.” I point to her latest concoction. “Good?”

Grace nods, holding it out for me to smell. Floral scents tickle at my nose, and I suppose they are pleasing in their way. I just prefer the scent of my Lorna’s cunt, though I would never say such a thing to Grace.

I help her tidy away her things, checking our stores as I do. It has been a quiet few days in the village, with only Ahnjas’ teeth requiring any healing treatment. Although it can mean long days for me without any cause to sharpen my skills, I would always prefer my skills to be blunted than my brothers or sisters injured.

But as if Lina is displeased by my complacency, the door bangs open. Grace jumps, her hand flying to her chest as if to contain her heartspace. I turn and see Vantos holding Rachel in his arms, my apprentice looking pale and sickly.

“Rachel!” Grace says, all concern and worry in her voice.

I note that Vantos hesitates to put Rachel down with interest.

Grace ushers Rachel over to the bed, where she promptly bursts into tears. Some of the females have been tearful since their arrival, but Rachel has not been one of them. She has always seemed at ease in my presence, a little nervous when tasked with something new, perhaps, but otherwise comfortable.
