Namid's eyebrows rose. "What did you expect?"
"That you'd treat us like…like the worthless thieves we are." He replied, laughing lightly.
"Why would I?" "I'm not the type to do that!" she laughed, patting his arm.
"Let's pray you aren't" Senka joked before walking away. To the entire troupe he ordered them to take their positions and continue on at his signal. Once the signal had been given, they continued on, at a reasonably slow but steady pace.
They stopped later that night and set up tents, near a steam. Taking turns to bathe, the group helped to get supper ready.
After her bath, Namid laid down a blanket and rested on her back, hands behind her head, to gaze at the stars that had gathered. The fire was burning brightly and the air was crisp and reminded Namid of home and of childhood. She remembered, on one cool summer night, when she and Rakab lay down near a cooking fire and gazed at the stars.
Rak laughed as he saw Namid and sat next to her, "Do you remember when we used to do this?"
"Yes…I remember that. Midsummer wasn't it?" Namid asked, turning to him.
Rak nodded, "I remember you were ten and I was thirteen…the dancers were just finished with the Hara' Jaud dance—"
"That was the dance we did a few nights ago, Rak." She giggled, "How ironic."
Rakab grinned, "The 'Echoed Moonlight' dance…that was four years ago…Wow!"
Namid smiled, "I remember some of the lyrics…"
Rak, chuckling to himself, and began, singing the song in Ha'Shmla:
