While Clare was busy trying to figure out what had caused the minor rift between Miria and Tabitha, Seto was busy training himself a little. Deneve and Helen were out with Tabitha while Miria was doing whatever it was she wanted to do (apparently it was important enough to keep her from overseeing the others). It was as she was busily working on something that Cynthia caught a glimpse of what their leader was so busily working on. Miria was for the most part trying to fix their ruined clothing and (as Seto was growing still) obviously some new clothes for their additional member.
Things eventually settled down into a pattern that Tabitha enjoyed a little. They would be up before first light training, and then they would rest briefly before training until the night closed in enough to make it hard to see without yoki. Tabitha still hadn't come to terms with the fact that Miria held little more than an older sister's degree of caring. She didn't know however that her captain was struggling with problems of a unique nature. Unlike the other warriors Miria was at the age where most human women would be having their ninth child (given that the first was had at a very young age) and where most half yoma her age were looking to settle down. She didn't expect to feel that she was like a mother hen, but the other younger warriors made that feeling quite powerful. It had of course some uses, however those would only be of any use if she were bearing children. Miria found that she wasn't the only one that was the eldest and thinking that way. Seto was roughly the same age as she was; a little younger than her by half a year, but still quite a deal closer than the others. Cynthia was three years younger than Miria, Deneve and Helen a mere few weeks apart from both each other and Cynthia; while Yuma and Tabitha weren't that much behind, they were a good four and a half years younger than Miria. Clare was the youngest; she was five full years younger than Miria. Not just in the time that she'd been a warrior, but in their human ages as well. It was enough that Miria found the differences were what was causing somewhat a rift that she didn't likeā¦
