They were older, and things were changing between Tahigwa and Ilyra, but at the same time they weren't changing at all. The two were still best friends, the only other that Ilyra considered above her best friend was her new mother Briella, who really wasn't new at all if she thought about it. She had been living with Briella and her sisters for some time now. She had become an Prentice, and was allowed to do more things by herself. She had even gone all the way to Tale by herself!
She hadn't seen Tahigwa since then, and was excited to tell her about how she met Pahana and her adventure there. They still needed to plan their own adventure, plus the one with Briella and Yaholo. It was a master plan that they had made as youngling and had yet to carry out. Now that they were older they could make more and better plans! Plans that were just them, and did not involve that stupid sun haired boy.

Tahigwa was as happy about growing up as she was assured Ilyra was. They could travel farther, climb higher, and wander where ever they pleased without getting yelled at! ... Most of the time, at least. But despite some drawbacks, like more responsibility and chores, Tahigwa was overjoyed to be older!
She had spent most of her time in the forests with Yaholo and occasionally her mother, who was getting stronger by the day, it seemed. Her presence in Andile and Emeka was rare, if at all, due to this and it didn't seem to be much of a bother to most living there. But Tahigwa knew better, her best friend was looking for her, she could feel it! Where was Ilyra? They had so much to talk about!
"I'm leaving, Ny-Ny!" She called, patting her younger sister on her head as she exited her front door. "You stay with mom, I'm going to find Ilyra!"

She got closer and closer to where Tahigwa lived, figuring if she didn't find her on her way there then she would be at home. Right? When she was just a few feet from the house she spotted Tahigwa walking out the front door.
"Long time no see!" she called out with a laugh as she ran into her best friend with a smile. "What have you been up to lately? You'll never believe who I met." she said as she squeezed Tahigwa in a hug.

Tahigwa hadn't even made it five feet off her property when Ilyra popped up right beside her! She squealed as she was hugged and squeezed her best friend right back. Her best friend was here! Finally, some girl to girl time! Her eyes widened, her trademark "OHMG WHAT?" expression at it's best, and she beamed.
"Who did you meet?! Tell me EVERYTHING!" She exclaimed, still glued to Ilyra's arm. "There's so much I have to tell YOU, too! But you go first! I missed you so so so sooooo much!"

She smiled, just seeing Tahigwa's face made everything so much better than it had been only seconds before. She was even happier that Tahigwa hadn't let go of her. She hadn't seen her friend in a while and didn't plan on letting go unless she had too!
"I met your sister! Pahana!" she said excitedly. "She doesn't really understand how we work, so she thinks I'm also her little sister." she said with a laugh. She considered Tahigwa, but not in the way that she knew Pahana did. In Pahana's world sisters didn't like each other, where in Ilyra's they could be lifemates. Not that she had those kind of feelings for her best friend. Well, not that she would admit to herself yet anyways. "What do you have to tell me!" she asked happily.

Tahigwa didn't plan on letting go of Ilyra, either. This was her best friend, she hadn't seen her in ages, and her arms had forgotten how good it felt to hug Ilyra since they'd last seen each other. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head as Ilyra spoke, before a giggle sprang loose from her mouth.
"Isn't she the cutest thing ever?" She exclaimed. "She's really klutzy and can barely keep up with Yaho and I, but she's really fun to hang around."
Then, her face froze a moment, pondering. Where would she begin? Yaholo becoming a Massif and moving in permanently here in Andile? Her sudden interest in Earthling weapons? After a while, her grin returned.
"Well, my brother lives in the village now!" She said. "He's, like, the most important guard EVER."

Ilyra laughed. "Yes, she is adorable and so much fun. But yes, very klutzy. I could only imagine what the three of you together would look like." she said shaking her head. "I had a lot of fun with her while I was there. We went and walked around the marketplace."
When she said that Yaholo moved to Andile she looked a little confused. "That's awesome, but why the sudden change? Did anything happen to his father?" she asked curiously. She was happy that he lived there, but at the same time she hoped that nothing had happened to his father's family that would cause the move.
"We knew that he would be the best guard, I'm glad that everyone else can see that as well now." she said. Although sisters normally weren't guards she knew that Yaholo would make an awesome one.

"Ooo, the market!" Tahigwa chirped. "Did you buy any fruit there? They have the best dried meats, too!"
She tilted her head as she was asked about Yaholo's father and shook her head rapidly. Oh, no, Cusick was perfectly fine! Yaholo had told her so, his father was fine, despite how terrible his step-mother was to him. "No, his father's okay!" She explained. "He just wanted to be close to my mom and I and be closer to everyone here. He can't become an Alkidike if he lives in Tale, you know. But, Yaholo does say that his step-mother is being pretty nasty to his dad. Cusick is so nice, just like Yaho, how could anyone be nasty to someone like that?"
She have a half pout and laughed, nodding in agreement to Ilyra's last statement.
"You bet we did! And he'll only continue to become more awesome!" She cheered. "He'll show all of those racists that he's just as good as we are, one hammer smash at a time!"

At the word fruit Ilyra could almost the taste the goodness once again. "Yes! She bought me some fruit and it was just amazing. We also picked out a gift for you!" she said as she handed Tahigwa a bracelet. It wasn't anything crazy, but Ilyra thought there was beautiful in the simplicity.
Ilyra breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy that nothing had happened to Yaholo's father, that would be just horrible. Though his wife being mean to Cusick was also pretty bad. "Just mean out of no where? I thought Yaholo had said that his step mom was nice?" this was all very confusing. She never understood why married couples would be mean to each other on purpose. You only marry people you love, so to marry someone and than be mean to them? It seemed silly.
"Hammers seem more dangerous than spears anyways." she agreed. She was sure each weapon had it's strong points, but it seemed like it would be easier to protect things with a hammer than a spear.

Tahigwa's eyes went wide as she was handed the bracelet. It almost seemed as though she was shocked to be given something and quickly put it on her wrist, before enveloping Ilyra in a hug. "Thank you, 'Lyra!" She squealed, giving the other girl a quick nuzzle. "Every time I look at this, I'll think of you and your adventure to Tale!" She giggled, admiring the bracelet again. "It's perfect, where did you find it? That old collector?"
Her face scrunched up a little at the question about Yaholo's step mother and gave a rather dismissive shake of her head.
"All I know is that she was always hounding him and making him feel small." She said. "And she said she didn't love Yaholo's dad anymore, which makes my mom very happy, though... I'm not supposed to say that to Yaho or Cusick." She sighed, agitated. "My mom's weird, why doesn't she just tie Cusick up and make him move in with us or something? She's in LOVE with him! I'll bet it's our elders... They're always ruining things..."
"Yaho always tells me that there's a weakness and a strength to every weapon." She replied. "You can't have a completely faultless weapon, no matter how much you practice." She puffed out one of her cheeks, blew out a puff of air, and shook her head. "I think he's just trying to say that he'll never be the best, which I think is nothing but baloney. He's my brother, how could he not be the best?"
