Moonspear like a lost puppy

Sialuk nearly missed the woman's reference to her lover as another woman, not a man. A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, glad to have yet another among their ranks who saw the beauty in more than just men. It was a sad tale, one that ended on a bittersweet note of circumstances separating the two lovers. Sialuk herself had more than one lover who was no longer due to similar circumstances. And she often had been the one to leave on her travels.

Village Moonspear is a peaceful place, she assured the small, dark woman. A place of healing and learning. Perhaps, in the days before Sialuk had returned and remade this place, it had been more fraught with violence, but those days were long gone. Under her watchful eye, the spear had been quiet and calm, save for a few injuries here and there. That is, of course, until the girl from Brecheliant had attacked her son. Sialuk thought one such thing in nearly a year was a fairly good track record, and it had not happened within the bounds of their home, which was safe.

The starwoman noted the worried glances to Talisman, and she understood. Be with him, she said, taking her leave and letting Kusuma tend to her friend.
