An Ooman Ambassador

Chapter 4: Learning Anew

A/N: Wow it's been a long time since I posted the last chapter. Apologies everybody. Still can't get the stupid thing to edit like I want so you yet again have my apologies. Thanks for so many likes, favorites, and the few reviews I got. I have kind of decided to go with BookLovingPersonR.B.L's idea and put the English equivalent of the Yautja words in parenthesis after the word. However there will continue to be repeats. I won't change that one. Anyways! Onward to the next chapter! Enjoy kits!

Nearly a year had passed and Tjau'ke Thwei had to admit that being mated to L'sa was not bad at all for they got along quite well despite a couple disagreements here and there and though they had yet to actually mate he wasn't going to push her into anything, especially seeing as he had become quite fond of her.

Lisa walked quietly down the halls with a now much larger Yeyinde following her for in just a month he had went from being the size of her hand to being the size of a thirty pound dog and was nearly five feet long.

Granted Yeyinde could still ride on Lisa's shoulders if she didn't mind but she had started to make him walk which was also fine to him as he followed quietly at her side.

Lisa was still doing her ambassadorial duties along with training with some of the Elders in their combat styles though many had been put on their asses by her speed alone.

Some of the Elders who trained more in fighting the kainde amedha (Hard meat; Xenomorphs) however were quite easily able to keep up with her until she threw in all she had and they too landed on their asses.

However, today she would be training with her mate so that he could further assess her dtai'kai'-dte (Battle; fight; fighting) skills and she hoped that she would be worthy enough.

Tjau'ke Thwei nodded upon seeing his mate enter the room before he began to pull off his awu'asa (Yautja combat armor) expecting to fight her jedhin jedhin (One on one; hand to hand combat).

Lisa sighed but did the same before she motioned for Yeyinde to guard her stuff and he obeyed, curling around it protectively as she got into her hiju (Fighting/combat stance).

Tjau'ke Thwei nodded for it seemed that his mate was well versed in the hiju (Fighting/combat stance) for she held herself correctly albeit a little low to the ground but he didn't bother to focus on that and with a roar he charged forwards.

L'sa threw Tjau'ke Thwei completely off with her speed and he wasn't ashamed to admit that she was much, much faster than he was.

Lisa smirked as she managed to throw Tjau'ke Thwei onto his back before she quickly straddled him.

"Ha! I win."

Tjau'ke Thwei chuckled underneath L'sa, he had to admit that he hadn't expected her to be able to throw him like she did but if she thought she could match him in brute strength she was mistaken.

In an instant Tjau'ke Thwei had flipped them, pinning L'sa's wrists down beside her syra'yte (head) even as her legs wrapped tighter around his waist in surprise.

Tjau'ke Thwei purred softly as L'sa remained relaxed beneath him before he lowered his syra'yte (head), purring softly in her ear.

"I win, mate."

Lisa nodded, conceding to the loss before Tjau'ke Thwei carefully released her wrists and looked pointedly down her body before she realized that she still had her legs clamped around his waist and released him.

Lisa let out a soft oomph as her back dropped onto the ground before Tjau'ke Thwei carefully moved away from her and offered her a hand which she took before he easily pulled her up.

"You dtai'kai'-dte (Fight) well."

"I've had a lot of practice."

Tjau'ke Thwei nodded before he pulled his awu'asa (Yautja armor) back on, watching as L'sa did the same before he walked over to her side, wrapping an arm over her shoulders as they headed to the mess hall with Yeyinde hanging off of Tjau'ke Thwei's shoulders.

Lisa ate her fill of the mostly Yautja food, mainly consisting of proteins but it was well balanced with the fruits and long piece of flat bread.

Once Lisa was full she grabbed a plate full of meat and leaned down, offering it to Yeyinde who carefully dug in, always making sure that his fangs came nowhere near her fingers.

Nihkou'te-s'te sat down across from L'sa and Tjau'ke Thwei and watched as L'sa continued to feed Yeyinde carefully but her syra'yte (head) cocked slightly towards him, showing that he had her attention.

"We will be leaving Earth in the next month. Your replacement is trained well enough. None of my men will remain here. Nor will the other Elders."

Lisa nodded obediently though she was nervous about having to leave Earth that had been her home for the past 24 years but she had a mate now and an entire Elder Council fond of her.

Lisa was no fool, she knew that many would completely disregard her, figuring that she was an ooman Aseigan (human slave) who had only reached the rank that she was at now because Elder Tjau'ke Thwei had been forced to marry her.

Many Yautja was definitely going to be sent to the medical bay and Lisa was probably going to end up there as well a few times because she was going to have to fight her way from what they figured would be the bottom.

Which is exactly why to kind of curve some of those battles Lisa was going to ask Tjau'ke Thwei to send her off on a kainde amedha chiva (hard meat trial). Granted she knew that she would most likely be going alone but that suited her just fine.

Once Yeyinde was full she placed the empty tray back on the table and pat her shoulder causing him to jump onto her back, placing his lower feet on her hips and his upper feet on her shoulders as his tail wrapped around her thigh and leg.

Lisa wondered around for a little bit before she spotted her replacement and immediately waved her over, continuing to teach her the Yautja verbal language and how to read their body language.

The woman was a soldier but a very open minded and well behaved soldier which had suited the Yautja just fine and had been the first one that Lisa had pointed to.

The woman was extremely attentive and gave her all during the lessons of anything that had to do with the Yautja seemingly not wanting to mess anything up.

"How you can speak this stuff so easily is beyond me Lisa."
"Well I have been practicing since I was 4 Sherry."

"So…what is that on your back?"

"He is Yeyinde. Tjau'ke Thwei has a specific name for them but just lets me call them dragons."

"He is uh…um…a-a'ket'anu (beautiful)."

"Very good."

Lisa leaned her head against Yeyinde's finding that as he grew bigger the mental bond between them grew stronger as well.

:Would you like to say Gkaun-yte to Sherry?:

:Sei-I (yes).:

Sherry froze as the large dragon that Lisa had named Yeyinde slowly crawled over her shoulder and onto the large table before it leaned its long neck easily, most of the way across the table and gently bumped her head with its own before moving back to rest behind Lisa.

"Oh…oh…wow."

"Sy'ua (wow)."

"Sy'ua (wow)."

Lisa hissed softly as claws slid into the back of her hair before they gently began to scratch her scalp and she immediately relaxed with a soft sigh as Sherry smirked.

"Remind me why I told you my hair was only sensitive when pulled?"

Tjau'ke Thwei purred as he felt his mate relax even further, despite the fact that his hand easily dwarfed her th'syra (skull) but she showed m-di h'dlak (no fear) as always.

Sherry smirked, truly happy for Lisa and her mate for it had been a rough start the first couple of months but seeing as the year was almost gone they had went from very standoffish to quite tactile and Tjau'ke Thwei seemed to love her hair.

Sherry had watched them go at it in hand to hand combat as well and she would admit that she like the others had bet that Lisa would have her ass handed to her within a couple of seconds.

However she surprised them all by her speed and knowledge of any weapon in her hands, even if they were Yautja weapons she wielded them with ease and had kicked a few Yautja asses along the way.

Despite pinning Tjau'ke Thwei a couple of times he had always managed to brute strength his way free and turn the tables on his mate which from what Sherry had learned from body language he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

Though Sherry and a few of the other girls had asked Lisa about her sex life they were given the whole description of mating Yautja much to their horror and fascination seeing as they found it quite amazing that such huge, large hunters would allow females to completely dominate them if not kick their asses in bed.

So far what they had gotten from Lisa was that she and Tjau'ke Thwei had yet to become an actual mated pair, though they were pair bonded it wouldn't be fully complete and any female with a pissed off attitude could challenge Lisa to her claim over Elder Tjau'ke Thwei.

When they had pulled Tjau'ke Thwei into the conversation as well they discovered that the males had absolutely no embarrassment when it came to terms of sex and mating with females.

Tjau'ke Thwei was easily able to point out the many scars that littered his hide from females that he had mated over his long years of life giving him 475 children.

Having been given quite a bit of knowledge over the males with warnings not to see more than just a one night stand, many of the Elders amusedly accepted mating offers from several of the females several times.

The experience was new for both species and showed that the females of the human race were nowhere near as delicate or fragile as they appeared seeing as many could handle most of the strength and full weight of the males during mating.

When the other women were walking with a limp or bowlegged for a couple of days the other girls merely giggled as the men shook their head, muttering about the craziness of their counterparts.

Sherry watched as Tjau'ke Thwei gently tugged on Lisa's leg, asking if he could sit beneath her and settle her in his lap and she nodded, pulling Yeyinde into her lap before Tjau'ke Thwei easily lifted them both and sat down in the large chair, sturdy enough to hold a Yautja's weight in full awu'asa (armor).

Tjau'ke Thwei easily settled L'sa and Yeyinde into his lap and purred softly when L'sa leaned her syra'yte (head) against his shoulder and relaxed with a sigh as Yeyinde sprawled over her lap and chest.

Deciding to go out on a limb and hoping that neither Tjau'ke Thwei or Lisa would hate her she asked the question that had been bothering her for nearly a year now.

"Elder Tjau'ke Thwei?"

"Sei-I (yes)."

"Mind if I ask a question?"

"H'ko (no; negative)."

"Do you love Lisa?"

"H'ko (no; negative). I am very fond of her however. An ooman year is not enough time for a Yautja to truly love. We are a pair bond and soon hopefully, a mated pair."

"Oh."

"Did you expect him to say sei-I (yes)?"

"Did you?"

"H'ko (no). Of course not. I do not love him either but I am fond of him. Which is exactly why we have yet to become a mated pair. I agree with Tjau'ke Thwei. A year is not enough to truly love someone. Some people can managed it but I cannot. Besides we are a different species. There are some human courtships that last anywhere from 5-10 years and some court for their entire lives but never become a pair bond."

"I see."

Tjau'ke Thwei purred softly as he nuzzled his syra'yte (head) against L'sa's pleased with her answer and explanation for his mate was extremely intelligent though she hid it from the others of her species.

Eventually the year was up and Lisa was packing all of her things as Tjau'ke Thwei's dozen Aseigan (Yautja slaves) carefully began to carry it to the medium sized drop ship having stopped first where she had lived at for a year and then stopped again at her true home.
