Quote: "Myrna.... I know.... But..... Are you sure he's alright?" Kaliska asked hesitantly. She put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm worried about you.." "Wish I hadn't known him...." Braxton grumbled, heaving into the straps. After a few moments, he put a hand up to stop. "That's good. Now we gotta get this dirt back to the crops."
Myrna sighed. "I think so... I don't see how he could hurt me. I am not going to bond to him unless I know for sure... and he is very handsome.. and he likes me." It was obvious Myrna was getting a bit starstruck.

"That feeling is mutual... He takes all he pretty ones for himself... then the slowly disappear... Speaking of which you need to tell her why it isn't safe. She asked me. I told her that was your business to discuss not mine. She can handle the truth. Not to mention she was just past the orchard during our romp a few days back. That's why I pulled her into the herd. So she wasn't alone." He looked at the loosed dirt. "Do you have a hover bucket?"
OOPs Sillkies I bumped the wrong one
Sorry)
"Myrna, I trust your decisions. But please, do be careful." Kaliska said gently, looking into her sister's eyes. Then she took her arm and walked back to the men. "Ready?" she asked them.

Braxton turned slowly, his face serious, but his eyes frightened and pleading. "Ferris, I don;t want her to know who... what, I was! I tortured many mares! Cause them to suffer greatly! I can't reveal that to her! She'll think horrible thoughts of me!" he said, running his hands nervously through his hair. He grit his teeth and closed his eyes, as if painful memories came flooding into his mind.
Myrna nodded.
Brenk looked at Barrett, having been silent. He wanted to confront him about not realizing he was going to take his sister out. But figured he'd just watch like a hawk. Besides, he didn't care to ruin his friendship. He knew Barrett needed that much. He then took Kaliska's arm. "My dearest.. lets go to the ball." He smiled hissing her cheek.
Myrna gave Barrett a smile after she release Kaliska's arm so that Brenk could escort her. "I hope they so the ring dances, those are my favorite." Myrna chimed.

Ferris eyed him a while then let out a long sigh. "You might be surprised.. but she need to know about the abducting. She needs to be prepared, you know they target Ruke blood. And if she pries let her know a little.. her forgiveness may be what you need to help recover." He spoke calmly. "My old man was no better, but he killed them... he was too rough. My mother he was more gentle with until the end, but he hasn't changed.. you... you have."
Bump Silkies
"I've never been to a dance... though I do love to dance." Kaliska admitted, grinning excitedly. Barrett took Myrna's arm, careful not to touch her hand.

Braxton stopped, looking queerly at Ferris. "You know... you seem to know a lot more than I do." he chuckled nervously, as if subtly trying to change the subject. "Oh, and uh about a hover bucket. Nope, I use this." he held out a canvas with many straps. He hitched himself to them, then, in a wide circle, scooped up lots of the rich soil.
(lol that's tricky in dancing.. it limits them LOL)
Myrna's smile grew and he face was shy as he took her arm. "This will be fun." She bit her bottom lip.

"You work hard to bury things.. I get it.." Ferris looked around for a shovel. "And I only know about some things.. because of what I went through. Us foals see plenty of what happens in the tribe... hidden or not... buffers or not... I was fifteen and the ones who got me out were killed in the process.. living with that guilt.. makes me hate looking at myself.. saying was I really worth all that?"
