Captive?

I tried to absorb everything Fonce said about Seve.. she was not technically a slave.. huh? She was his captive... and would have to speak to the Ubar... well this is very confusing.. I thought if you submitted you were a slave.. but I guess not really... Another reason never to submit...

I had not talked to Seve in a few days.. but I had heard that she wanted to talk to me.. so.. I waited in my favorite spot.. the Herds... I was sitting there talking to Hiram.. when I heard my name.. Skies above I thought the bosk was talking to me.. but it was not.. thankfully... :grins: It was Seve.. she was dressed.. her hair braided.. she told me that Fonce had freed her... Thank goodness someone had sense about them.. But.. she had changed.. she seemed more relaxed.. We talked it seemed for hours and hours.. we even danced yes.. I danced.. I don't know what happened.. I did not ask.. But I was relieved and happy to see her free again.. You see she is not a slave.. just a mad woman in love with a warrior... Unfortunately she has lost everything she owned to an insane uncle.. well almost everything.. I had borrowed paints and a few brushes.., which she now tells me is no longer her Uncle... I am going to make her a new skirt... a special new skirt.. and will drop of some of my ribbons to her new wagon.. which is close to mine now..

I did not have the heart to tell her that her Uncle destroyed Yew... it was not my place to tell her anyway.. the Ubar or Fonce should...

I told her about the warrior that I am making a bunch of things for.. and of Silkens odd behavior.. We talked about so much.. It was good to have my friend again.. not that she was never my friend... I did not tell her that this warrior mades me smile and so did his children... I am not telling anyone that.. because well.. I don't understand myself so why confuse matters anymore... I was hurt once already . I do not plan on making the same mistake again... I am just doing some leather work for him.. I will not allow my feelings to get that close to the surface again.. And to look a fool again... I would rather not go that way.. no not now.. maybe never.. I just do not know.. He thinks he is too old.. I wanted to say. well if the Ubar can have feelings for a woman that is only 16.. then he is not to old... but I did not say that.. I just smiled to him.

I have kept to myself since all this happened... I have stayed away from the main fires.. I did not want anyone to say anything... that might make me mad.. Maybe they do not understand her... but I do.. I do not agree with it.. it would never be an option for me.. but maybe for her.. it was something she had to do.. maybe to prove to Fonce just how far she would give of herself... Maybe now that knucklehead will move in the right direction... She is perfect for him... She does not talk to much.. she blossoms when he is around... and you can see something in his eyes as well.. this is my hope for her..

Well I think I am going get to my furs.. I have alot of work ahead of me.. and it has to be perfect..
