As they walked towards the Oasis, Gaucho silently noted the way Tae seemed determined to keep pace with him. And so, not wanting to deter her at all after the stresses of that morning, kept his stride at a fairly regular pace. He doubted his daughter would appreciate it if he were to take it easy on her. And so, he didn’t.

As they walked, Gaucho began to fill the silence with some of his thoughts as of late. Things about their growing family and about the safety of the herd. All had been quiet, and the dun wondered if it would last. The last time there had been this long stretch of peace the wraiths had come and not long after that, the Moon Goddess had worked her way with him and with them all. The thought made him grit his teeth, but he spoke through it. He knew that Tae liked to listen to the strategic workings of his mind, and so he indulged her. He spoke of patrols, rations, how the construction of the church was going, what the roster of the herd was. It was easy for him to just rattle off this information - it was simply giving voice to the thoughts always being tossed around in his brain.

As they neared the top of the hill, Gaucho paused to take a breath (more for Tae’s benefit than his own).

”Me ajjin afazh asshekh!” He exclaimed, not unhappily, as he began to once again move towards the cool waters of the Oasis. Vorsa fluttered forward, gayly flying on the breeze, while Mara rode happily in Gaucho’s antlers, soaking up the warm rays of the sun.
