Watching her pigtailsbouncing made me smile. Seeing her hair up like that when I crawled outof my tent this morning had taken me by surprise. It made ...er look likesuch a ... girl. Not that she wasn't one, but I was still struggling withthe idea that she wasn't my brother any more.When she finally reached me and caught her breath she asked, "Why didn'tyou wait up for me?"I rolled my eyes, but grinned to let her know I really wasn't annoyed."Because every five seconds you're stopping to look at. She doesn't get moody very often, but it happens often enough for me to know the signs. It's best to just give her space. It seems like everything I've ever tried just makes it worse."Nancy was puzzled. "I've never seen Kim in a grumpy mood. She's even nice when she has cramps."Beatrice really starting laughing but managed to get enough air to remark, "I'm guessing that the sad songs happen about once a month?" What? No!" Tuan shook his head in denial. "She's never asked me for feminine. “Cecelia, you ignorant bitch! She doesn’t have to give us a GOD damn thing!” She looked at Ibera, apologetically, “I’m sorry for my sister’s rude attitude. I like your suggestion and I appreciate anything I can get, thank you.”Lola appeared fit to be tied that her oldest daughter had stood up for Ibera. A small bag appeared in Precious’s hand and Ibera announced it was time to go and Lola and Cecelia found themselves on the boat with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing.Precious made. "Did George kill some lions?" Keeta asked, after he was gone."Yep. He shot the male and half the females. I think we were about even on the cubs too." His mates be happy tonight. George be too tired to get out of bed tomorrow," Layta said, and they all laughed."They be making necklaces for days," Leita said, and got everyone laughing again.Mama, the cubs, and the dogs weren't laughing though. They were all sitting on their asses watching the skinning and gutting. It wasn't long though before.
