I hope you don't mind I set this to late afternoon.Not sure if Lokni is actually visible or not, or just audible so left it vague.

Gemma was still jittery and excited from the hunt the day before. Even though she hadn't actually taken part in the bringing down the prey she had been herding and keeping their target separated. She had actually been useful for once and the girl almost shone from how good she felt. She had even managed to collect some of the fat to use to light Aniwaya's village torches so all in all it had been a good day, it had been a good few weeks. Despite Matteo's absence and her increasing worry that he wasn't coming back to her ever, it was in competition with the fact that she'd found a family member, another half brother. She had someone of blood who cared for her as blood should and not in the incestuous way that her father had, he had done the same to Talesin and Gemma felt a small anger towards their black furred sire.
She was returning to the Great Fire even though she had finished her chores for the day, the torches were taken care of and the stores replenished. Later into the evening after she had relaxed a little and eaten a meal she would practice the moves for the fire dance. Ralla, the previous Master of the fire was a great help to her with positioning her arms and legs. By her side Tamai Waki was a silent shadow, offering nothing in the way of conversation for her but she was not one for idle chatter regardless. Her eyes slid around the houses they passed and fell onto a light colored boy busy with a piece of wood and a knife, she was all set to walk straight past him when a soft whisper met her ears,
"Go and say hello." She turned, a refusal upon her lips when she met his stern stare and folded within moments. She stopped a distance away from him, her eyes focused on the floor nearby , not even looking at him,
"Hello. What are you doing?" Her apprehensiveness was within the tight bunching of her muscles and the flattening of her ears.
