Em sat forward on her seat, enjoying watching Lesh cook- she was fascinated with the ways gypsies ate, and how they survived on what they made and found. It was such a departure from village life.
"We'll make sure to tell Val when we reach our next trading post. ...I know she has somewhere special for us planned- there was a glow about WhistleStick the other night- I don't know what she was up to..."

"Uh oh..." Leshya'e giggled and nodded, "You never really can tell what she's up to" She continued to knead together the dough.

Marissa was running. Happily she ran, around the outside of the caravan, inside it's snug ring of wagons, weaving in and out of the oxen. Kale was strapped to her back, fox head peeking out of his favorite leather knapsack. His tounge lolled and he met his mother's merry speed with great ecstasy, enjoying the blur of colors, sights, and smells. Marissa laughed as Kale barked happily, running towards the fireside- which was suddenly occupied! Slowing immediately, Marissa flusteredly shuffled over, hoping no one had paid much attention to her sporadic playfulness. She smiled at the occupants and ran a hand through her curly purple hair, trying to catch her breath.

Leshya'e looked up and giggled, "Hello Marissa...good timing, I'm about to bake some bread, care to join us?"

"Hello you two!" Em put her hand out to encourage the friendly fox to come for a good ruff scratch.

Caroline Rainiera sits down on the ground, setting Rojiza down on a bench beside her. The little squirrel chatters endlessly to herself, having nobody around that understands her. Well, except for the local squirrels, but they are never much inclined to listen to one that talks so much about humans. Caroline just nods and smiles at her small charge, wondering when she'll obtain a quest to become an infant. So she can learn to talk in English. Or at least Spanish.
Caroline nods politely to the other occupants of the circle, smiling especially at Em.

Marissa laughs breathlessly and takes a seat next to Emelyn. "Hello Lashya'e! Em! And Men, too! Wow, hello everyone." She smiles. Reaching behind her, she adjusts the knapsack to hang around her front, wrapping protective hands around it to keep her small one from falling in his somewhat immobally impared perch. Kale recieves the outstretched hand warily at first. He growls until Marissa strokes his head, then sniffs. Finally lowering his head in submission, he rubs the top of his head against her palm.

Leshya'e smiles at the group of friends and then continues to knead the dough. "So, how is everyone? Lovely day, yes?"

"Aye, that it is," replies Caroline with almost a Scotch burr, reaching down to stroke Rojiza's head. The squirrel in question chatters happily, almost purring under the loving touch of her guardian.
Rojiza sniffs the air and then spots Kale. She undulates across logs, leaping from this place to that, even using the tops of peoples' heads as touching points. Finally she lands on Kale's head, ignoring a stern warning from Caroline. Rojiza cuddles up to Kale, sensing that he's like her in some way.
Caroline just sighs.

Tierra followed her nose to the camp where the gypsies were gathering, chattering and preparing food. She giggled watching the lil' ones play and for the first time since she met these warm welcoming travel mates, the fork in her hands felt warm. The sensation shocked Tier to the point she almost dropped it. A tiny sensation pulsed through her short pale fingers. Her eyebrows furrowed. "Am I losing my mind?!!"
She shook her shaggy mane and continued her journey to the fire. " Hello... Miss Leshya'e was it? That bread smells mighty fine." She sniffed the air, then noticed she had gotten Leshya'es attention. Once again her pale cheeks flushed as she wrung her pitchfork lightly, nervously. sweatdrop

The chattering caught her ears and she turned to see Rojiza on Kale.
Hehehehe. Tier giggles with a hand to her mouth, sets the pitchfork down and scoots closer to them. "My! Aren' you a playful lil' one." She stroked Rojiza under the chin. "An Kale it is, you have grown almost overnight" With a nod she sat with her hands together placed upon her skirt as she sat on her heels, smiling. She was happy and comfortable both at the same time. Amazed she found a family practically overnight. Perhaps things were going to work out after all. No more wild ni... then a thought struck her like a blow to the back. Visions of her mother in the circus being whipped by her human father for the amusement of crowded onlookers, laughing, pointing... the shame. The visions swirled faster and faster... the full moon, the rabbit hunts, blood, pain, clothing tearing, a storm, the pitchfork, the cattle. lightening, a fire... Tier caught herself...her fingers dug into the earth. Grounded, she steadied her thoughts as the panic was ebbing. She blinked. And turned her gaze back the the camp.

Leshya'e smiled and nodded silently to Tierra. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and then looked around, "Oh dear, Ani must have crawled away while i wasn't looking" She stood up and looked around, "Ani? Ani!...Can someone help me look for her?"

After ensuring that the caravan was correctly tethered and that Bavol was occupied with a rather succulent section of grass, Mirela had made her way toward they gypsy circle. She had yet to meet the majority of the caravan's residence, except for the day when Val had returned. Not long after Val's return, they had set off once more, and most had become absorbed in their own affairs.
Her brow furrowed in confusion as she heard one gypsy, Leshyae she believed, calling the name of her daughter. "I'll help you look" she said, trying to calm the excitement rising in her at the chance to help another gypsy.
