Prickly Preparations (Canali)

Postby Antar on November 20th, 2011, 9:11 pm

Antar looked off at the receding woman's figure with a puzzled and worried look. He couldn't figure out what had happened, if anything between them. Whatever it was , it was her body language that spoke volumes over her words. Somehow- there was a tenseness there, in reaction to him, and he would have sworn he had heard a terse note in her voice. Her words said everything was fine, yet her actions said otherwise. There was no hitting, or yelling, or screaming like usual; this had been something different?

The rogue tried to get up to go after her, to ask what he had done but he found himself stumbling at the first try to get to his feet, seeing stars before his eyes.

His body felt weak, and his limbs were like jello and the pain in his temples returned as the man tried to force himself to stand up again.
Gritting his teeth, he bore the pain and sat down again opting that whatever it was for now that had so rankled Canali; it would have to wait until he had gotten some water, and some rest. His mind turned back towards the porcupine they were supposed to cook, and he realized the flesh was still sitting there upon the rock.

Bit by bit the rogue let his strength return, breathing fully slowly, one breathe after the other. For hours he just sat there, and threw small logs on the fire for the rest of the day, well until the sky grew dark, wondering if the woman would return so he might ask what was wrong. But alas, she never did.

After being forced by hunger, to cook what they had hunted the day before, charring it badly he might add, Antar set aside a small bit of the extra needles of the porcupine and split them into two smaller pouches he tied up from his destroyed shirt. When he finally could stumble back to his tent to rest, and get a new shirt for himself he left the tied bundle of quills at her tent's door, knowing that Canali should find them later.

Noth's dreams that night were filled with memories he'd best left buried in his past, his mind refilling his soul with some of the burdens which had taken their toll upon him. But in the morning when he awoke, he quietly rationalized that whatever had happened, it would be best to let Canali come to him and speak about it. So for the rest of the days at camp, Antar would be polite and cordial to her, but distant as well. He would never he linger in her presence for long, always finding some reason to give her her privacy, at least those were part of the excuses the rogue told himself.

The real reason was a simple one... he couldn't help but wonder that whatever had happened that day, that somehow, in some way he had let a darker part of his nature be seen by another person. Or perhaps even a weaker side. Whatever the case, only time would tell if they might reconcile...

Listen to the island
The waves and wind
That is the pulse
