The first day of the journey was as always a bit slow as each wagon began its slow creeping along the ground, leaving a gouge in the ground as the wheels strived to grip and turn to begin its fate upon the trail.
I was glad of the men that Cana sent over to me as I did not have to worry, I rode Eclipse back towards the clan wagons, I had to smile as I watched my youngest son ride along side Chulun, thinking he was every bit of a grown warrior, young ones always in a hurry to grow up and then when we get older we try to slow down the passing of time.
During the last leg of the journey for the day Hallie rode past me, on her kaiila, she had great pride in the beast as she had as she said, helped him to see the way of things, I found it interesting her words,she did not say she tamed him or broke him. Although I begin to wonder if she will live to see old age the way that she rides that damn thing, I saw her fly past us as if on fire and her laughter rang in the air as she gave him free reign. Reminds me of myself when I was young like that and I used to race mine with my sister and friends or of when I just would let the kailla run free and wild,and I wonder why my father had grey hair when young.
I was glad to stop for the night, the first day causes my muscles to protest at the extra time with movement, I was sitting by the fire with a bowl of black wine when Silk joined me, that was a surprise she has not spoken to me in quite some time. We spoke of various things, some I had not been aware of because they had occurred when I had been injured and ill. She spoke of her imprisonment to the wagon and of Shi taking the twins. I listened as I usually do when communication is open, I am sure she thought I had turned my back on her but I assured her I had not known of these things. If I am not around there is usually a really good reason for it. We spoke of various people, Fonce has been helping her which is good, she told me of the rumors that whisper in the winds of the two of them, this was one of the few I had not heard, and I have heard of quite a few, I had to think on this one. I just could not quite put that one together in my head. She shared her thoughts on Ba'atar and Ayguili, of life in general, Garyx, Shi and men, and while I have a different frame of thought regarding each of these people, I do see her outlook as well, and I have learned long ago, each of us think and see things differently , it does not mean any one of us are wrong or right, life and relationships are all about perception. We spoke of many things, some things that in my mind are given in confidence and I will not speak of them, there are times we know that things are to be kept quiet and not shared. She has started a new chapter in her life, there are still lingering hauntings, but I see that she is taking small steps to find herself and I think there is a realization of many things. Perhaps she will begin to see things I have been telling her for many turnings. There are some things people share with me I do not even write down. I keep much in my head, it is a scary place to be.
However, she can be assured I will be thinking of a way to get even for the bugs
