As Sleep took Napier, Tariku stayed awake, thinking over all that happened. She finally left Avaren, with its streets full of foolish people. But, she had left her father, who must be so worried about her, that he might even try to get out of bed. She made a little laugh that turned into a silent sob. Everything she had done to this point: leaving her father, running off with Napier, feeling love towards him, made her think..............'Am I ready for this?' She let the question haunt her, while she wept a little for her father, before Sleep took her too.

Napeir awoke, he had a restless night and was getting hungrey.
Looking over he saw Tariku laying there,he still felt bad for what he had done the night before.
Stepping out of the tent, he dug through his pack and got some more hurbs out. Setting up a fire he started cooking, sending a fresh, sweet smelling aroma nto the air.

Tariku woke, her eyes feeling sore. She didn't open them, regretfully remembering the question from last night. She lay there, thinking. She took a deep breath, a pleasant scent filling her lungs, calming her troubled mind a bit. She turned her head and opened her eyes. napier was cooking, looking intent at his work. Tariku found herself smiling. She crawled out from under the tent, stood and stretched. "Sleep well?"

Napeir turned to her.
" not as well as i hoped" he laughed
He lookedd into her eyes, seeing a hint of worry in their depths.
" is everything all right" he asked, walking over to her.

"Yes, of course," she said distantly, pulling her hair back. She gave him a half-smile and began to braid her hair, looking at the ground.

He slowly set his hand on hers.

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." She felt an uncomfortable ice in her stomach. Her hands had stopped when Napier's held them. She looked at him, searching his eyes. She swallowed and started to walk.

She stared at him, watching him stir. Then, without warning, she blurted out," Do you think this was the right thing to do?" She covered her mouth. 'That didn't sound right,' she thought.

"Yes," she said, chewing on her bottom lip. "Why did you help? I mean, we met in a stable for Heaven's sake. You hardly know me. I HARDLY KNOW YOU!" she began to pace. "what made you want to help me?"

" its always my way to help others in need, and i guess i just fell head over heels" he laughed
" i am sorry if you think that my choice to help you was wrong" he told her " and i am sorry if i had ruined anything you had planed"
He poured the soup into bowls, and offered one up to her.
" a little different from yesterday, but might taste even better"

She took the bowl but stared at Napier. She said slowly,"Head..........over........heels." She sat down, staring into the soup. They both knew that they had feelings for the other but they never said it out loud. She put the shaking bowl to her lips and took a sip.

" careful" he said" it is hot"
He blew on his soup and took a sip, gaging cause it was still hot.
"yep, i can't understand it" he said " your the first one i've ever felt this way about"
Then in a lower voice" the first one i've ever kissed"

She looked at him and, after a while, she said quietly,"You were mine too." She made a small laugh,"Odd, isn't it? Quite......" her voice faded. She looked at her soup again.
