He pressed a coin into the holder's hand. "I only need it for a few candlemarks, Sawori."

"That's all right. I'm taking my wife down to her family's cot for dinner." The holder leaned in with a knowing smile. "I made sure my wife changed the sheets on the bed for ya. Take all the time you need.
You can trust my discretion, sir."

Kiomo gave the man's shoulder an grateful slap and stepped back behind the shed to wait for Sawori to load his wife into their cart. He watched them drive off and round the corner before he made his way into the small dwelling they called a home. It certainly wasn't much, but it had a bed and was away from prying eyes and that, after all, was really all he wanted. But Sawori's wife had left a nice vase of fresh flowers by the bedside and a kettle of klah on the stove. Nice little touches, but hardly necessary. Kiomo grabbed a mug off the shelf and poured himself a cup anyway. After all, he had no idea how long he would have to wait for the lady.

And it wasn't long at all. Fieayz had taken care to wear simple, yet elegant clothing that would allow for a little crushing, and was easy to remove. She'd gathered her hair in a pony tail, knowing that all it took was the leather thong to rebind it. She opened the door, peering around it.
"Kiomo?"

He looked up from his mug with a grin. "Well, hello there. Fancy meeting you here."

"I know, such a coincidence," she teased as she came into the room. She turned and closed the door, making sure that it was possible to lock it, interruptions were not in her plans for now.

"A very happy coincidence, I hope," Kiomo said as he pushed his chair back from the table. "Did you dress up just for me?"

"Perhaps," she looked up meeting his eyes. "I knew there was a reason I chose this tunic."

"I like it," he grinned, walking around the table and reaching out to finger a tie. "Will you be missed any time soon?"

"Not until just before dinner, I promised Otrina I'd go down with her."

"No one else is expecting you today? Not even your Holder friend?" he asked teasingly as he gently tugged at the string.

"Not today." She reached up, finding a tie on his tunic. "Today it's just you and me."

"I like that," Kiomo murmured into her ear, pulling on the second tie.
"You don't feel guilty at all?"

"There's nothing to feel guilty about," she replied. "We're just two people getting to know one another better." "Oh, I agree," he chuckled, admiring the fact that she really knew how to dress for just such an occasion. "I'm hoping by the time we leave here I'll be your new best friend."

"Of course, and the feeling will be mutual, no doubt."

"Oh yes," Kiomo grinned as her tunic fluttered to the floor. "No doubt."
