Cedar Sweep hereafter

Figured it'd be a funny coincidence :P

Having been much of a home body, Ar-Khalba rarely found reason to leave the copse. However, with news of Asherah's pregnancy still fresh in his mind, the Katimir ventured south in search of herbs that would quell her nausea. Ar-Khalba's medical know-how was rudimentary at best, yet he wanted to do his part to the sisterhood and the litter that the Malkaria would soon welcome. 

In a small clearing where the sun beat threw the thick canopy of cedar, Ar-Khalba found a small patch of dandelion. The yellow blooms of spring had all but gone -- whispy white balls of fluff remained in their stead. Unceremoniously, Ar-Khalba ripped a portion of the plant away, thus exposing the useful roots beneath. Its feather-like seeds were caught in the wind and floated away.

That was when he noticed.

On he same breeze that carried the seeds away, Ar-Khalba caught the tantalizing perfume of nature's call. The plant fell to the ground from his slackened jaw as he stood frozen in place. His body tended. He could not take a lover from beyond the Malkaria -- yet he did not know if he could fight the temptation. So for now, he stood tethered to the spot.
