We were far enough away where none of the children could hear my yelps. They wouldn't be afraid of anything as they dose off the sleep. I didn't know what time it was as she finished wrapping up my shoulder, but the sun was already close to setting. I took in a deep breath, smlinging quietly as I rose.
"Come child, you must be hungry-claud has made a fire and he is ready for us back."I smiled, nodding as I took her hand.
"Very well" I smiled quietly as I walked, on bare feet, back toward out caravan.
"Would you like for me to-"
"No, you may awaken your friend. I am light on my feet; I shall get the pot and food" I nodded, a giggled escaping my lips. She seemed to smile at me, and I walked back to the fire as she turned.
"You have grown quite the happy one in the past few hours haven't you?"
"I'm happy to be home" Ilooked across to the fire, and Claud who was standing it, warming his toes.
"Look who's all grown up" I smiled, giving a light bow before sitting on the groun, warming my body.
"I've grown since your trip out west? It's onlyt been five years, how would I have noticed?" He purses his lips and I smiled, shaking my head as I looked to the fire. Mira would be back soon, then I could eat.
