Surial slid into a simple pair of white pants and blouse, hands going automatically to his cuffs to do up the fasteners that were not there. A wry smile crossed his lips. It had been his own decision to pack away the formal clothing of his homeland; he was no longer welcome in Sandide and it was high time he started to follow the traditions of his adopted home.

Smoothing his hand along his shorn head, he looked out over Azize, eyes going to the sea. He forced his gaze back to the low white buildings that made up Azize, a white jewel in the sands on this desert peninsula. He'd lived here for seven years and still it didn't feel like home.

A sound from the courtyard caught his attention, Kade with Grandam and her colt, Lik'ta's first chance to play in the yard. Perhaps there was something here that felt like it could be home, after all. Tearing his eyes from the sight, he ran down the stairs and into the sunlight to join Kade and the horses.

Kade was leading Grandam out from the back stable, pants fastened around a thin waist with a long piece of rope, moving slowly so that Lik'ta could follow along, bounding 255

beside his mother, raising dust. The foal began to run toward Surial, stopping short as Grandam whinnied sharply.

Kade turned his head, the man smiling as he caught sight of Surial, scars white on the tanned cheeks. "Di'ben sud, Helan. Bright morning."

"It is, isn't it?" He smiled back, climbing the fence and sitting on it, content for now to watch.

Grandam stomped and tossed her head, knocking Kade on the shoulder, reminding him what he was supposed to be doing.

"Yes, yes, little mother, I hurry. Bring your son." He laughed, propping open the gate and leading her in, Lik'ta bouncing happily behind.

Surial watched as the foal tried to nuzzle against Kade's legs, chirruping softly. Shaking his head, Kade stepped away, unhooking the rope from Grandam and encouraging her on.

Surial chuckled, wondering why his vakla, who loved the horses so much, who had mentioned how much he wanted to work with the colts when he was a boy, was refusing to take joy in this one.

Grandam immediately moved to graze on the sparse grass that grew through the sand and Lik'ta began to dance around her, snuffling softly as he explored. Kade moved over to the fence, turning his back to the foal. "He grows well."

Surial watched the way the sun played over the black horse, glinting and sparkling through the black mane. "He really is a beauty, isn't he?"

"Yes, Helan. He is. He'll be faster than the wind when he's grown."

"He'll need a strong rider."

Kade laughed, pushing his braids back from his face. "In a few springs, perhaps. Now he needs love and sunshine and play."

"Like all children. Well, I think I've the right man for that job."

With a smile and a nod, Kade walked over to fetch some water, humming beneath his breath.
