curiosity killed the cat . satisfaction brought it back
It made sense that he would think she was hiding her words from him when she spoke a language that he didn't know. She'd come across a few in Dorobo who had held the same sentiments. 'They speak that language so we won't know what they're planning next.' was a popular theory that she had foolishly believed at one point when she was young and stupid. "Papa Echo taught me to speak it." She murmured. "He found me after Mawindo...." Her voice rrailed and she cleare her throat before continuing. "I had a lot of time ... a lot of healing to do so I asked him to teach me the language. It helped when I talked to the Debwani tribes to find out what I needed to know."
"Mchumba? When have I been your sweetling, Ada?"
"Mmmm, I'd say since the first time you spared my life." Ada said softly. She wanted to continue on, to giggle and joke, but she caught the way that Tembovu was looking at her since she'd mentioned his wounds. It was like he was waitiing for her to bring up his past ghosts and she wondered if he wanted her to.
Dare she...? Dare she dredge up the memories of his dead mate and child?
Their playful banter was quickly turning into something else and she didn't know if running away from it or tackling it headfirst was the better idea.
He admitted to hating himself for what he'd had to do to her even after she'd made it clear that she didn't hate him and it saddened her. But she couldn't say that she wouldn't have done anything different. If she'd had the power then she'd have tried to save everyone. "I... would do things differently, too." she admitted after a few moments of silence. "If I could go back I would have been there ... when your family was attacked and I would have defended them so they could escape. I wouldn't have been too late." She stared down at the water that they stood in. "They didn't deserve what happened to them, especially an innocent child."
