Author's Note: I'm finally getting reviews! Whoever was this guest, Thank you! I'm in HEAVEN!
According to the tone in the last chapter Hakoda is too, isn't he? I hope to get more reviews, I like them, good or bad is not important…. Let's see how the story proceeds.
It was one of those mornings when you hear birds singing and music play somewhere in the distant. He had heard about people awakening like that, but never experienced it before.
Hakoda felt a weight on his shoulder, his arm was already going limb. He looked down and saw the beautiful woman next to him. During the night she must had cuddled up to him. Then he looked around in the small tent. Good thing, he thought, that there was not much in here. That little bit that was in was pretty much in disorder.
He felt her stir, still laying on his arm. Carefully not to wake her he laid a hand on her head and stroked threw her curvy, pitch black hair. It was a part of her which made her stand out from other women, he thought, it was a more intense black, like a lacquered casket. We must be totally crazy, we just met the other day and now we're already in bed together., he thought, lightly kissing her on the forehead.
"Mhmm...", came from under his head. Hesitantly she opened her eyes and looked up to him through thick lashes. Then she stroked his chest and let her head fall against his shoulder again, attempting to just go on with sleeping.
He chuckled and started to kiss her awake. Slowly she started to return his kisses. And soon after that she sat on him again. Through kisses he managed to say, "No, me top this time.". She protested, but they were both interrupted by a voice from the tent entrance, "Can I join?".
Bato, that was Co-Chief's name,went out again and readied the men for the thing that was to come. He said, during the night Hakoda seemed to had meet a woman, a healer with special powers. He let out that he seen them in bed, but the men knew that they were overnight together in a small tent…
Inside the tent they both grabbed their clothes hastily and after quickly dressing they stormed outside.
Only to be greeted with a warm, unison , "Morning Chief!", from the men.
Toreth had to introduce herself to them, but no one protested against her being a dryad, they were all fine with her coming with them. A healer could be useful, whatever her special powers were.
Afterward Hakoda hold a little speech explaining that they would travel north and the west to a certain bay. Toreth had agreed to come with them without thinking twice about it, even if she did not understand anything about ships and sea and so on.
