She closed the rather worn cover of her journal and sighed. Kahleena hadn't know why she'd been motivated to read the contents there, some had made her smile but many of the entries reminded her of the painful choices she had been forced to make.
Well, not forced.
Kahleena had simply seen no alternative to the choices which were available at the time for her to pick from I still think we could have seen them. I wouldn't have minded seeing the places you've thought about so often of course Okalinath fully supported the direction of her mind <<You are probably right, but I'm not the girl who was taken...not anymore. I'm sure they moved on now. I couldn't go back and expect anything to be the same - I certainly couldn't be the wife he married>> she replied, keeping her voice as low as possible.
Not that there was always much point when Okalinath was around. A dragon as loud as her gold would always make sure that her presence was felt even when reminded to soften the volume a touch. It was an amusing if at times rather frustrating trait for her to possess. Especially given how unobtrusive Kahleena generally was for the most part <<Are you finished?>> she asked.
Okalinath had needed to feed and while the whole process wasn't something that she'd go out of her way to watch, there was no kind of doubt that she'd come with Okalinath at least when her own duties and responsibilities allowed it.
Which was passingly rare these days.
So, when the chance to steal an hour away from the Weyr and all the responsibilities had appeared Kahleena had leapt at it with as much excitement as she could muster given the weariness that often assailed her due to the frequent poor sleep she managed to get.
You could have napped. I would have kept watch and course Kahleena could trust that would be the case, the sensation of warmth and love wrapped around her rather like the feeling of being held in her mothers arm. There was both a certainty and security to that deep and abiding affection and love <<Oh I know, Okalinath. But I'm not so very tired today>> it was true, keeping secrets or telling a lie would be pointless as her dragon would know immediately.
Kahleena paused to shield her eyes as Okalinath's shadow moved ahead of her I am landing now, although we don't need to rush back... the feeling of something smug about her dragon had Kahleena standing up, her hands putting the journal and remains of the picnic lunch she had brought along into the satchel at her side <<Why? What did you want to do?>> the question asked as the golden bulk of Okalinath settled onto the ground, disturbing only a small amount of pollen and dust from the grass and flowers which covered the place they'd chosen for this interlude.
"hmmm maybe I should think about a diet for you...?" she murmured walking towards Okalinath who immediately swung her head around on her long neck Do not TEASE like that Kahleena, its not funny! I don't need to DIET! "Oh hush, my great golden love. I'm not remotely serious as you well know..." the brief laugh ended but her smile remained on her features as she reached out to stroke along the hide of her beloved gold.
Well, not forced.
