Aly's stared off into the distance as her father disappeared from sight. Nawat rested a hand on her shoulder. Aly jumped in surprise,"Wha- Oh, Nawat.don't sneak up on me like that."
Nawat wiped a warm, soft tear from Aly's face, as it tricked down her cheek.
"I don't like it when you are sad, your face is always much nicer when you smile," He touched her hand. Aly shook her head,
"I'm fine. Why would I be sad? It was my choice to stay here. Uh. let's go inside."Aly pulled away, and walked inside, leaving Nawat.

A week after George's departure, Aly was just finishing riding with Dove, when Winnamine approached Aly. "Aly, may I speak to you?"
Aly and Dove looked at each other as they both dismounted their horses.
"In private."Winnamine added. Dove's looked at her stepmother, with big pouty eyes. Winnamine smiled and crossed her arms, "Dove, I think you're a little too old to be making faces like that."
Dove frowned, and led the horses to the barns. Winnamine turned to Aly, "Why didn't you leave with him? Is there something the god has not told us?"
Aly shook her head, "There is nothing you have not been told. I didn't leave with my father because I do not have the heart to leave what I have come to love."
She looked around herself and smiled. Winnamine looked at her, puzzled, "But you have a chance to go home, and you have been our slave. Why would you not want to leave?"
Aly smiled, "Lady, I have already told you my reason, if you do not mind me correcting you. May you please except my reason to stay?"
Winnamine sighed. "Alright, I trust you, we may leave it at that."
Aly curtsied, "Thank you, Lady," And she went to the barns to clean off her chestnut mare, Cinnamon.

"So what did my mother want?" Asked Dove, as Aly combed out Cinnamon's mane.
"Oh, basically the same thing that every one else here has asked me."Aly replied, politely.
Dove looked at Aly,
"I've been wondering the same, but I guess I shouldn't bother you with it, you probably won't tell me anything I don't know," She asked, as Aly hung up Cinnamons tack, and started to walk inside.

Aly was about to go to bed when Nawat came in. "Nawat, what are you doing here? It's really late."
Nawat smiled, and handed Aly a dream-catcher. "This is for, you. I spent all day working on it."
Aly looked at it.
"Wow, it's very pretty," She said, as she ran her fingers along the soft threads, intertwining through a circle of emerald beads, and crow feathers. Nawat put his hand on hers.
"That is not all," A mischievous smile flickered across his face "Speak your fathers name, and at any time, you will be able to speak to him, as long as he is near something shiny."
Aly gasped, her face glowing, and embraced Nawat. "Thank you! Thank you! Oh Nawat this is so great!"
Nawat smiled, and looked into Aly's eyes. "Hopefully this will be just as great,"
He leaned in, and their lips met, in a long, intense kiss. Nawat ran his callused, yet gentle hands through Aly's short, bronze hair. Then, he slowly pulled away, and walked out the door. Leaving Aly shocked at what they had done, yet in some way, very happy too.
