Amelia was fidgeting anxiously, her big green eyes watching the two female hunters with anticipation as they stared at each other. Jac'in brought Kali'adah inside their quarters, much to the frail servant's surprise, as their room was never visited by anyone since the yautja huntress adamantly refused to have anyone even remotely close to her. The territorial behavior came with the package, she assumed, especially since she started noticing how the alien female sought out her attention and touch lately. She asked her about it, voicing the thoughts that had plagued her, trying to verify if she was indeed going mad.
Jac'in came clean, however, casually telling her how she longed for more than a life of servitude from Amelia and -well, the human girl had been on edge since then. Careful not to glance up at males or other females especially, including Jac'in's human hunt sister, a woman that defied everything that the notion of 'pyode amedha' stood for. Amelia admired her from afar, secretly envied how she could walk proudly, chin up and posture confident, just like her current lover.
Her presence here had to be due to important matters considering the way Jac'in stormed in after having gone to only bring food in their chamber. Instead, she came back with the fearless human and no fruits for their lazy afternoon.
"So I have accepted his…" jade irises snapped back up at the two other females in the spacious room, both sitting at the table on the far end, across from each other. "Yes, I fear so," her beloved spoke clear and loud, making the ravenette cringe in a way that was so human it made Amelia's heart sink with longing for interaction with another of her kind.
When she first met Kali, she was so happy and excited, so different from her usual timid self, until she learned that the woman had little knowledge of human language or social behavior that even resembled that of one. Jac'in later told her of her story, how she had been raised in their culture and how she took their path. Amelia felt angry at first, when she learned how she was stripped of her humanity, how she was not given what she deserved, not given what was hers to begin with. Ripped from her own culture, ways and expectations and thrusted into a cruel and relentless world of blood and survival -somehow, she strived, she blossomed, radiated with confidence Amelia could only dream of, shone with strength, burned anything close to her, like a great star. A faint sigh left her lips and she squirmed underneath the heavy pelts on their bed, her fingers combing through her long blonde braid, adorned with ornaments that Jac'in made for her, in a manner of self-comfort.
The yautja female, having surely heard the soft sound she made, quickly glanced her way, just to be sure she was fine, a heartwarming gesture that Amelia came to adore, before she returned her attention to her hunt sister. "What do I do?"
"You must participate in the mating season,"
"What if I don't?"
"Then you insult his honor because you gave your word, made a promise through your acceptance, you become dishonorable if you do not uphold it,"
"Pauk'de…" the human hunter cussed, placing her elbows on the table and growling deep in her chest. Jac'in clicked her tusks together, thoughtfully. "Remember our ways, mei-jadhi. There are males that perish during the mating act, because they are weak and unable to handle the female,"
"Are you suggesting I should fight him throughout it and hope I get-" but the yautja female placed two of her taloned fingers on the human's mouth. "I am not suggesting anything," yet, the mirth in her eyes said enough. Amelia curled up against the headrest of their bed, keeping the pelts close to her naked body underneath and smiling mischievously at her lover's words.
The subtlety wasn't lost on Kali, because her lips spread in a smile. "Ki'sei."
"Kali," the blonde found herself addressing the other human, with a twinkle in her playful greens "Perhaps you could stay more, tell me of your new trophies. I've already seen Jac'in's," she added, a pretty smile on. The yautja female chirped curiously, allowing her incredibly alluring gaze to pass over her, a look that made Amelia shiver with delight. There was something primitive, a candle that was set aflame whenever she was with the alien, a carnal desire she never felt with men before. "If you are fine with it...Jac'in.." she murmured shyly, fidgeting with her fingers again.
"Sei-i."
At the reply, Amelia grinned joyously and slipped out of the bed, a pelt tight around her figure. "I'll go get dressed and bring the c'nlip!" it has been entirely too long since they spent time like this together.
...
Later, after a few goblets of the favorite alcohol of the yautja, Kali'adah found herself sloppily training in the kehrite, aiming jabs at a wooden dummy meant for young bloods preparing for their chiva. She learned early on that this was a good way of calming her nerves and also getting the intoxication out of her system, as the beverage was rather potent.
At this very moment, most yautja were asleep, their bodies requiring more time to recuperate than that of a human's, therefore most places were barren, other than the occasional patrols through the clan ship's corridors and the main deck. The kehrite was just as empty, allowing for her panting and bare feet moving on the mat to be the only noises echoing the large and spacious hall.
One last snap of the wooden staff and she straightened up, deciding she was feeling better and there was little chance of a nauseous waking after her slumber. In a way, she was dreading returning to her room, but there was no more she could do. Sighing, Kali walked to the left side of the kehrite, where weapons were strung on the wall and placed her staff back in place.
"Kali'adah should sleep as well, ooman or not," the sudden grave voice behind her, accompanied with clicks and heavy footfalls, allowed her to recognize the individual almost immediately. Turning, she met the scorching golden gaze of R'ka, the hunt brother of Lar'ja, standing tall and proud just behind her.
"Cannot, mind is…" she trailed off, looking away from the dark red striped male. "Occupied?"
"Sei-i."
"Busy mind keeps body distracted," he trilled, watching her closely. Him and Lar'ja completed their chiva when she was not even an idea in the making. Both elites, getting ready for their next steps into glory. R'ka was waiting for an approval of his request to become an arbitrator, given he already met all requirements, trophies and background check. Lar'ja was obviously groomed to become the next clan leader, no matter what other side tasks he was taking, the end goal was him in his sire's stead.
Word carried, though, that he was going to push to become an arbitrator, like his buddy.
Kali regarded him quietly, saying nothing just yet. R'ka was probably in charge of the deck for now, directing patrols and overlooking their journey and pilots, while the clan leader and his trusties were resting. It made sense why he was awake and here.
"We meet Tu'jan clan, exchange kainde amedha eggs for fuel and metal." this got her complete attention, her eyes now sliding up over his face as she tilted her head in curiosity. "Was asked to let Kali'adah know she will participate in exchange, chosen by clan leader," he added, clicking his tusks twice, upper tusks stretching in interest.
"Participate?"
"Sei-i. Lar'ja participates as well, R'ka, Bha'stu, Bhu'ja, Ca'sto and clan leader too," he mimicked her and tilted his head to the side as well, his gaze unwavering. Why was she going to be part of the exchange party? And why did they need more fuel? From every hunt, every rotation, they never needed more fuel and the path was always the same. So, Kali couldn't help but wonder what was the change that made them take this detour.
Especially now with mating season on their doorstep.
"Ki'sei," she finally answered with a curt nod. R'ka, however, took a step closer to her and her body tensed instinctively at the close proximity of the male. "Nracha-dte wei-ghe'h, do not think so much," he drawled, eyes gleaming with knowledge and amusement. Kali huffed and glared elsewhere, anything to make the rise in her body temperature stop.
"Respond to the ka'rik'na, sei-i?" he straightened up and squared his shoulders, looking down upon her. "Sei-i."
"N'got."
With that, R'ka remained behind while Kali left the kehrite in a rushed manner. Not only was she curious about why this exchange was taking place, but now she was also jittery about the fact that she had accepted a male's mating request without realizing.
Sleep was going to come slow, she had concluded as she went inside the bathing chamber. Perhaps she was going to be debriefed by the clan leader once she was summoned along the others? It only made sense. Frustrated and annoyed, the human female showered quickly and marched to her hammock, leaving wet footprints behind, before she climbed up her makeshift bed with a huff.
