There is nothing more satisfying then hearing my name called with the need of friendship. I was half asleep when Mezoo came clambering up to my wagon on her Kaiili. As little as I had ridden before I missed it now that I simply could not. I crawled out to the platform groggily and grinned at her."Skies your going to wake the dead." I scolded her laughingly.
I had a feeling I knew what this was about. Mezoo looked radiant, I would have given anything to look like she did right then, to feel as complete and wonderful as she had to be feeling.
She tied off her mount and hopped onto the wagon steps with me, I pushed over but we sat close together. Neither of us would be going to sleep anytime soon and it was just as well.. we had much to discuss!
Mezoo filled me in from the first glance to the last goodbye and I think I was nearly as giddy about her life as she was! I thought the decisions she had made were wise.
Later I even told her about the things I had told Fonce and how I felt. I needed to tell someone.. someone who would not judge or accuse or assume. Someone who would just smile and be glad I still had the ability in me to feel this way.
Even here though I will not share the whispers between friends.. Some things are too precious and too intimate to share.
