“It does,” Hannah assured him before she stuck the green stalk back in her
mouth.
Hannah stayed inside with me the rest of the day. She spent most of it sucking
on a cold stalk.
Once she was finally more comfortable, I brought up the inevitable conversation.
“You know what this means,” I said to her.
“Once your teeth are fully developed, you're supposed to go out on your own.”
She pouted, “I don’t want to.”
“Well, it's just what's done. Do you even see any other young women flying
around here?” I asked.
Angela's Library
She shrugged, “Some, the other young women I see are usually several
mountains away. It is considered...well, tacky, to fly too close to the mountain
housing the men. The women that Live in the area get angry if they find you too
close and you're not still nursing.”
“What do they tell you?” I asked her.
Hannah grudgingly admitted they told her about the places they had been. She
asked questions and the other girls just assumed her mother was very old.
“They think I do not know the other places because my mother hasn't been to
them in so Long. I just let them think that,” she said.
“That's a wise decision,” I admitted. “It wouldn't do to have them think you are
weak. Nu-reeh has said you are petite. I know you Learned to fight from your
father, but I'm not sure it would be effective against other women.”
Hannah smiled a wicked smile. “Oh, I'm small, Mama, so they think I am weak
and I let them think that. I've play fought many girls in the mountains. I usually
win.”
That was shocking information. I didn’t know Hannah fought. She never came
back wounded.
“I heal fast,” she admitted sheepishly, “like my father. My skin isn’t as tough as
the other girls, so it's a good thing. I didn’t think you would like it that I was
fighting. On Earth, I know you avoided fighting, so I hid it from you.”
I thought I had paid attention to her, but Hannah had been sneaky. She explained
how she washed off the blood and let the wounds scab before she came to eat.
Hannah always lay so I wouldn't stroke the wounded side.
“Very deceptive, Baby Girl, but I'm glad to know you can take care of yourself,” I
said shaking my head.
