Long Lost Leaves - part II

Abasi caught the t'rai easily and rested them in his lap. "It is enough for now. Bandage your arm, m'had'i. You must not let it fester. You will need it later."

He was quiet for a moment, and then continued.

"You must work on that arm. You must be strong. You must not fail. I will not allow it. I have trained many m'had'i in my days and your skill is certainly high, but it is often those who are the very best who fail most quickly. And I do not wish to see you fail. You are...someone...I...I hold you in high esteem."

He stopped and stood, putting his t'rai in his belt. Had he almost confessed his feelings to her? Had he almost done that? It was inappropriate until at least the third stage of their courtship.

Perhaps his feelings would disgust her, perhaps she would see them as weakness. Either was unacceptable.

"We will play again soon."
