Leave her ALONE! Clover does not belong to you! She is just a baby.. Please, Mojo.... do not talk to her yet. Mojo is begging you , Mojo. Leave her be


  • ::on a parchment, torn around the corners in a penmanship of a child and lettering in a glowing and shifting pastel rainbow::

    Mojo, it has been forever since we last alked in i nk. No one talks straight anymre.. And I do not know how much more of the Kind Lady's drink I can stand to kep drinking just…so they will talk right.. The Kind Lady makes it stronger now.. You know that.. so not everyone has to drink it now.. But I cannot drink one more drop. I think I will be talking in ink more often.. Maybe they do not talk straight anymore but they at least can can tak in ink straight.. The Teapots who can talk in ink at all. oh gotta go, Mojo.. Clover woke up.. You know how happy we were that she was born... awake. I'm not so sure that i a good thing anymore.. Why don't you leave her alone, Mojo? Leave her ALONE! You are loud enough my head already.


  • A Little Bird

    It was a cold morning in the Gypsy Tree, not an unuusal thing unless you were nearer one of the fires. Normally, the cold was not a bother to Cera. She awoke to greet it as she had countless morning before on her bedding beside the cooking fire. Wrapping herself up in her blankets she set groggily up and bathed for a while in the cooking fire's warm glow, still partially sleeping.

    While sitting there, growing warm and cozy to swish she did not have to get up wash up in that cold, cold natural pool, a stray thought hit Cera''s voice-cluttered mind. She sniffed at her nice and toasty blankets and bedding and wondered if she should launder them.. It had been a while since she cleaned them. In fact last time she had to clean them because of a little accident with that gift of Sune's, the feritility cycle. That blood had been murder to get out.

    With half-dread, Cera disentangled herself from her warm blankets and regretting it as goooze bumps from the relatively chill air outside the blankets rose all over her mocha toend skin. Shivering lightly, Cera still wanted to make sure she didn't have to get any more blood out this…time.

    Her search was slow, turning the bedding and blankets out and over as she thought on.... Come to think of it... it had been more than a month since she had last been blessed with Sune's gift, perhaps even longer. Not since that time in Norwick when she...

    Her eyes widened at a realization and her bedding and blankets were forgotten. She darted from her firedside bedding straight for the tables she, Elera and Katya used as workspace to find them and Jeni already up.

    Katya greeted Cera first, "Well Good Morning, my dear. You did sleep late this morning. You should get something on before the first gali gets here "

    Jeni giggled handing Katya a pinch of a powdered herb she had asked for, "Yeah..before Jonni tries to peek again."

    Elera added, "Or atleast before you catch cold, it's chillier than usual it seems like."

    Cera was too distracted to realized she had forgotten to put anything on before leaving the cooking fire where she slept. She gave a nervous giggle, "Mojo is fine...thankie.. but.. uh.. Kind Lady.. Mojo might be in...twrouble.."

    They helped Cera back to the cooking fire and her bedding, while she explained everything to them. Jeni plucked out a hairbrush from all of Cera's things and sat behind her, brushing out Cera's sleep-worn blue tresses. WJem Elera and Katya picked out one of Cera's dresses and helped her into it. Jeni pouted when she had to start all over again.with Cera's hair.

    Once Cera was decent enough to go about Camp if she must and Jeni had gotten her ribbon tied into her hair, Katya held Cera's hand, "Don't worry...we can find out for sure."

    Now they could hae sent Jeni off to go play if they ahd really thought about it but hindsight is 20/20. Later that same day when Jeni finally did see her brother, Jonni, she just had to taunt him, "I know something you don't know.." She knew she had sworn not tell anyone else but this only her brother,it wouldn't hurt to tell only him.

    Jonni frowned, "What?"

    Jeni giggled and jumpeda round her brother, "It's a secret. I can't tell you.."

    Jonni, hmphed and a moment then a lihght in is own eyes put a grin on his face, "If you don't.. I' going to tell Auntie Katya abou-"

    Jenni quickly intterrupted him, she wanted to tell him anyway, "okkie Okay! But you've got to promise not tell anyone else"

    Jonni crossed his fingers behind his back and held up his other hand, "I promise.."

    Jeni knew her brother better than that but...she was dying to tell him anyway..and so se whispered the events of that morning into his ear. From there a godo many of the Camp children all giggling and making each other promise that same promise all around Camp.

    Graadvul came upon one these michievious, giggling groups near Dart's favorite set-up... Just as he was about to scatter them or make them move and stop bothering old Dart his ears caught one of those deatils they were whispering about..

    It is little wonder then the whole Camp couldn't believe their ears..not Baba Cera. What did the gaje, RedJack's special purpose have to do with it? The Children knew...and giggled everytime one of the grown-ups asked..

    Little birds come in many forms and tell you many things...these ones let it be known that Cera Amalith was pregnant...something she was sure she did not want so many people knowing so soon.
