Squirrelly Days - Rammu

029 - Yineh

Yineh stared wistfully into the sunset as she cuddled into Wafit, atop the watch house where Bora, Acia, Teran, Kylola, Sharon, and Freone were having their meeting.

'''

Wafit: I'm surprised you're really going to stay up here and not try and listen in.

Yineh: I've had enough hard labor for one phase.

Wafit: Yeah, if I had thought about the fact we were going to have to disassemble all the traps we setup I'd certainly gone about setting up a few of them differently.

Yineh: I wonder what everyone else is up to.

Wafit: With Te-su gone it's hard for me to imagine they are doing much more than staying on watch duty, and doing run around work, but hopefully things will settle down now.

Yineh: I wonder if we'll be able to tell anyone what happened or if-

Bora: You won't.

Yineh: *stunned* Bora-su, is the meeting over?

Bora: For now, though the two of you shouldn't go down just yet. The others are enjoying their reunion.

Yineh: *excited grin* That sounds like something I'd like to be a part of.

Bora: I would appreciate it if you'd spend some time with me. We have a great deal to discuss.

Yineh: *hard gulp* We do?

Bora: *affirmative nod* You and Wa-su are becoming rammu-jhu soon. Which means you're now privy to some information you weren't before.

Yineh: *stunned* Keeping secrets is a requirement of being a rammu-jhu? *worried*

Bora: Thinking about Viv are you?

Yineh: *affirmative nod*

Bora: I have concerns about that as well, but there is little that can be done other than to keep giving her opportunities, support, understanding, and of course love.

Yineh: *nervous fidgeting*

Bora: You know you can ask me anything.

Yineh: *hesitant* Why did you ever approve of Vi-su becoming a rammu? I love her, and can't imagine my life without her, but...

Bora: *thoughtful hum* No, I'm afraid your not yet ready to know—that secret. After all I haven't even told that one to Mirra-su or Enky-su.

Yineh: *stunned* Viv has a secret not even they know?

Bora: I haven't told them, however I have little doubt that Mirra-su will find it on her own, if she hasn't already.

Yineh: *hard gulp* I-is it something bad?

Bora: I don't believe so myself, but they're certainly many who would.

Yineh: *pained pleading expression*

Bora: *bombastic laughter* Nope, and before you go traumatizing Vi-su, she is unaware of her own secret. To be frank, I'm only letting you know this much, because I want you to know that she's unaware of it, and ask that when you do learn you don't hold it against her, and you continue to love and support her just as much as you always have.

Yineh: *unamused stare* I don't appreciate the fact you said that while staring at me. You didn't even glance towards Wafit for a second.

Bora: *knowing chuckle* Are you ready to know your Ankarok rammu-jhu secrets?

Yineh: Like I'm going to say no.

Bora: The secrets are all secret, so I can't tell you, but as rammu-jhu you will certainly hear them and know what they are when you do. Don't talk about such things with non-rammu, and always remember that things that sound contradictory to what you know is to be kept between Ankarok and Raidico rammu.
