Paint me Blue?

I had been so busy I had not been to the fires in many nights.. And then there was the odd skies.. that only I had seem to be seeing.. But last night I had seen the stars in the sky and my mood lightened.. So I headed to the fires of the 1st wagons..

Cana and her mate were there with the babies, and so was Ayg.. he had a baby in his arms.. He looked very natural.. you know he is not hard on the eyes.. He would make a fine mate to someone one day.. He needs to hurry thought.. he is getting old..

The Ubar has decided that I am to be painted blue.. I am not sure why.. He wanted to paint his daughter but I think Cana put a stop to that.. So I guess he has now decided that I am to be painted.. I am not exactly sure why. but he is the Ubar.. if he wants to paint me blue there is really nothing I can do about it.. I hope its a nice shade of blue.. I did mention I did not think I wanted to be painted.. so at least he knew I was not really looking forward to it..

Cana said that the warrior Brayce had left the tribe again and mated some woman in a city ... I am so thankful.. What if he had claimed me and then wanted to leave the tribe.. He would have been leaving alone.. I will never leave the tribe or the plains..

My brother Ord has finally gotten permission to claim the young woman of the next wagons.. Samie is her name.. She is ok I suspose.. but to willing to do anything my brother says.. I bet if he told her to jump in the cold stream she would... Boring!... where is the excitement... Yes Ord.. No Ord Yes Ord.. No Ord.. Well if that is what she wants I suspose it works for them... I think it will be a very boring life.. Never having the unexpected happen.. I bet she will give him many sons... Anyway I am helping Mother prepare a feast for the outer wagons.. It is my first brother to mate.. and if I know my other brothers well enough the last for a long while... My other brothers seem to like the slaves more than the women that trail after them.. I am still waiting to have my boots knocked off by some warrior.. I am not actively looking at any warriors.. I guess thats the best way to be.. There are a couple that I do like and would not mind being mated to..but so far they have not taken any notice of me..

This morning I head to the old womans wagon.. Cana and I had spoken about her last night.. She is the one that carries a large stick and swats anyone she wants with it.. I had a pot of fresh made stew from my mothers fires with me and a loaf of bread and some of my mothers honeycookies..

As I venture closer to her wagon.. there were signs that she had been doing some swatting last night... I grew concerned when I saw her wagon was still.. in poor shape.. it looked like someone had ... oh no.... I put the stew pot down and the other things.. and ran towards her wagon.. and Called out.. Old Woman!.. Old Woman!
