"Fiihma"

 

tr'Pexil walked to the dark kitchen in silence. What had he done? What was he thinking? Should he run? A drink of draemn? Na this early. He was at a loss for words. Should he just stand here for a while? Wait, she was still in there. Perhaps she bolted out the door and hailed for the Talon. For the moment he just stood in front of the sink.

 

t’Aehjae sat there astounded, her hand still to her face. She could not believe what just happened. She had watched him step into the other room but wasn’t sure what she should do. She just remained seated, her eyes on the door.

Glass of water thought tr'Pexil. He filled two glasses with cold water, turned around and peered around the corner to see if she had left. She sat in silence. tr’Pexil made his way back.

 

"I... I am so sorry,” he began, shaking. “I do’na know what to say." He offered her one of the waters and sat at the other end of the couch.

 

t’Aehjae removed her hand from her face and took the glass. "What brought that on? I mean we do na know each other very well at all." She didn’t drink from the glass just brought it down level with her lap resting her arm on her leg. "I mean if we have had relations I could see it but we have na."

 

tr’Pexil nodded as his eyes looked down. "I'm na certain. I'm normally na rash. Something, in aur story, something inside said to… Elements!" He held his head in his left hand. "I guess I felt au needed it. I'm sorry, it is na excuse." The relative silence of the situation turned his stomach.

 

t’Aehjae placed her hand on his shoulder, "tr’Pexil I am na upset. Shocked, ie, but na upset." She removed her hand and placed the glass on the table in front of them. She then clasped her hand on her lap looking down. "IE I believe au were correct. I may have needed it. I was feeling myself fall back into the slump that I felt when it all first happened."

 

He sipped from his glass then laid it down at one end of the table. Every action seemed to take forever. "Still I had na right. I meant na harm or disrespect. Au should have punched or stabbed." tr'Pexil realized she could still bring this to t'Rexan's attention. Any amount of disciplinary action could be taken. He looked up at her.

 

She had na looked up. She was still sitting there with her hand clasped on her lap na sure what she wanted to do. The kiss shocked her, but made her think as well. "Do na worry I know au meant na harm.” She looked up at the sun beginning to shine in the window. "The sunrise is pretty isn’t it," she said, changing the subject.

 

His eyes widened at a thought. "Here, come this way." He urged her to follow him up a small flight of stairs just off the kitchen. A door lay at the top of the stairs. tr’Pexil brushed her shoulder as he keyed the code to open it. Inside was a large window facing the sunrise. "This is a better view," he said simply.

 

t’Aehjae went through the door and looked out the window. "Wow, this is a better view.” She looked around noting the room and stepped closer to the window so she could watch the sunrise. "When will aur family arise?"

 

"I think Lithara went back to bed already and my mother will probably awake within the hour. I heard my father had some business to attend." He had hoped this would wash away the tension he created. He could hear his sister say, "You wait ten years on one and not ten hours on another?" He'd not dare tell her this however. "It is na breakfast for au and I, but I'm sure my mother will be fixing something."

 

t’Aehjae just nodded and continued her watch out the window at the sunrise. She was na sure what she should do or what she wanted to do. The kiss had brought back forgotten memories. She wanted to run, but then again he had brought her here and she did na know how to drive the hoverbike. She did na wish to have questions coming from the Talon command so she just stood there watching.

 

tr'Pexil kept some distance from her. There was na telling how much damage the kiss caused. He swallowed hard. "If au want to go I will understand. I've... caused enough awkwardness already. I will be downstairs when au decide. All of the exits will stay unlocked.”

 

She turned and looked to tr’Pexil. "Au need na worry tr’Pexil. Au wished to visit aus family, I will remain and na say anything about what happened to anyio. I will remain up here until aus family has awakened and then au can come retrieve me. I do na plan on crawling out a window. I came in through the front door I will leave the same way." She turned back to the window honestly enjoying the view. She had na seen a real sunrise in she could na remember when.

 

"Good, hann'yyo.” Before he turned he spoke, “For what it is worth, I do like what I have seen… of au." With that he headed down the stairs. No one had yet arisen. He thought of those last words, but at this point enough was going through his mind to care.

 

t’Aehjae turned just in time to see him turn and leave. She at first thought of following then decided against it. She let out a long sigh and looked back out of the window. ‘What was it he just said? He liked what he had seen of me? He was t’Temarr's right? What would she do to her if she found this out?' She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened then and just stood at the window.

 

Draemn = liquor
