Lannen smiled wryly as Mati looked away from him. She seemed to be so self conscious. The white man realized that this was a completely new experience for her. In fact, tonight was full of new experiences for the young girl. She had transformed from a child to a young adult, and her body had undergone a change too. Her head must be spinning from the newness of it all. But Lannen felt she was probably enjoying. At least, the white man hoped she was. These were days she would never see again. Perhaps she would begin to create memories she'd treasure. He could remember being her age pretty clearly, and the days he had spent with his best friend. He wouldn't trade those days for all the love in the world.
She seemed to be shy, seemed to be conscious of his eyes on her face. He didn't turn his eyes away. Mati was a beautiful young girl - no, a young woman. And he was certain that many creatures would stare at her, taking note of her strong body and remarkable eyes. She had nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide in his opinion. She was a beautiful creature, growing into a remarkable looking adult. She had to know she what she looked like. Didn't most women know about that sort of thing?
But Mati seemed to be different. Her reactions, her thoughts, the way she spoke...She was gentle, soft-spoken. But he sensed a burning core of brightness and courage beneath the gentle facade. He was blown away that she was thanking him. He had pushed her, but he hadn't expected her ire - and certainly not her thanks. The white man smiled crookedly and nodded in her direction. "Thanks for spending time with me, kid. It is always nice to share a night like this."
