There was quite a stack of weapons and armor recovered from the cave, and they had found over 11,000 gold coins. We moved the loot to the fort and ret...rned to consider our next move.Everybody was in favor of continuing our patrol since we had been so successful so far. The trip into this cave had been something of a special case, so we went back to the formation we had been using with Opso’s squad trailing as the mobile reserve.Our next action was with a bunch of small demons led by a shaman. ’ ‘Hmm! She probably did, girls that age are always a little further along than we were.’ ‘Um-hmm, like the first one a couple of years later.’ ‘Um-hmm.’ They were silent for a while, while the one drew on his pipe and tamped the tobacco. His friend snorted and remarked softly: ‘But most of them – if I remember correctly – had softer hair, finer.’ ‘You always preferred blondes.’ ‘Um-hmm, but not always. Remember … at Wellesley?’ ‘Oh, of course! Armenian parents, lived on the upper west side.’. Then nothing more from him. A couple of weeks later, I had just gotten into bed one night, when my mother knocked on my door, and came into my room. She was still an attractive woman, and I loved her. She sat on my bed, and told me my Dad had told her my problem, and they had been pondering a solution, for the past two weeks. They had both been raised in fairly liberal families. As I thought back on it later, I realized that that had a lot to do, with what occurred subsequently. She told me,. " Oh." She sounds thoughtful, then adds, "New beginnings." That had been theme between us while we were house hunting, this was a new beginning for us. We were starting our life as a couple properly. Adjustments could be made, in this case Kiki was assimilating some more of Kennedy's attitudes. Though we never actually discussed Kennedy, who Kiki referred to as "the Bitch," I think Kiki would prefer Kennedy left us alone.She smiled her shy, innocent, smile. Somewhat incongruous that, Kiki being.
