The alabaster maiden caught her in the act of a diversion that she hadn't even been aware of creating. Kalika was intelligent and stern, qualities that the tawny woman felt intimidated by.

Much as she wished they could just drop this and continue teasing one another, it seemed important for Kalika to know exactly what was going through her head. Salish did not like it much. It seemed like a power trip to her, like paranoia, as if  Kalika was trying to exert control.

"I enjoy your company." But she had answered, nevertheless.
