Heavenfall

Inga sighed. "Well to be honest, it was help this people or... lets just say that my tribe doesn't want me around that much." She shrugged. "Besides, it sounded like a fun adventure." At least I am not hearing the complaints of the tribe elders.

Dawei cocks his head, but he does not ask after the story that must underlie that comment.

Instead, he says "As I said, your assistance is appreciated, and I hope you will find a place that wants you."

"Hopefully, helping this Kami people will cleanse my karma and allow me back. Or as you said I may find the place where I truly belong."

Dawei lifts an eyebrow.

"Which would suit you better?"

"I am still searching for my path. Perhaps I shall continue wandering... or perhaps get married to one of the followers of the Kami."

Dawei raises the other eyebrow.

"Oh? Has someone caught your fancy, then?"

The girl shook her head. "I doubt I will be noticed by any of the people around here." She closed her eyes and let the rushing water soothe her thoughts.

Dawei shrugs. No sense getting into that argument, he thinks.

And, being comfortable with quiet, he is content to observe for the moment.

Might be something to her practice, maybe.

With her eyes still closed, the woman inhaled softly and exhaled. "Found you wood, Dawei of the Seppun?"

"Not here, though something better did present itself. But I will leave you to your practice, if you wish it."

"Hope you find what you are looking for." Inga nodded as she continued her meditation.

"And you," Dawei says as he makes his /exit. (And thank you for the thread!)
