"My sister is here?" Dark Star stood, immediately turning toward the doorway.
Chief Long Knife placed a tender, yet restraining hand on her wrist.
"Not tonight."
"But - "
"She needs to be alone tonight. You will see her in the morning," Chief Long Knife's expression made it clear he wasn't to be questioned on the matter.
Dark Star returned to her seat at her husband's side, "I can't believe my sister returned. How could she have found us?"
"Strong Oak brought her here."
Dark Star's eyes widened, "He is here? And Jaira? Together?"
Brown Sparrow couldn't hide her giggle, "True love prevails!"
Dark Star grinned. If that wasn't fate, she didn't know what was.
"My sister was captured by our tribe a few months ago," she explained to Gretjen who sat with them, her eyebrow arched. "She was given to one of our warriors who had recently become a widower. Strong Oak married her but my sister refused to be his wife - fully."
