[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 16367, member: 225"] Mia asked about the bath not because she didn't know such things; in fact, it was more a reminder to her how much she craved to be clean again. For many days, she had been on the road without such luxury. But one thing bugs her even more. "[i]Lady? Please, don't call me "Little One". I... it just doesn't sound right. You know, when I grew up, "Little One" was a caress for someone, and ... I don't feel I can live up to her."[/i] Her thoughts race to the small island, where Berandor used to sit below the cypress tree and think of Bhallreah, his Little One. She shakes the memory off her thoughts. She drinks some water, then takes two cookies in her hand - they fit just right - and follows Lady Diamond to the door. While they are walking through the dojo, she begins talking of her dream. [i]"It was really strange and things, you know? I was lying under a big oak tree, sleeping. When I woke up, it seemed as if I had dreamt of this place here, and was awake in the real world then. There was Berandor, and Lady Tsin, but their names were different. Berandor's name was "Thomas", and I had to call Tsin "Barbara". They were married, and seemed to be my parents. Then there was Nikodemus - "Uncle Toby" - whom I saw at the tournament, and many more I have never seen before. Lady Reiella and her cat. A preacher who always spoke of "sins eating us up", and there was a man with one arm who brought his son over to play... the boy's name was Timothy, but it was the same that beat Berandor in the tournament. I didn't like him, and when I kicked him, I was sent to my room. It was a real strange world: People were wearing suits and robes; and all men had those silly hats on, and they called it pumpkin or melon or something. And the women had to wear several skirts, and they were giggling all the time. We were living in a big house, with a big garden - that's where the oak tree was, too.

[i]"When Mommy - Lady Tsin - sent me to my room, you brought me up there. You had to serve the tea, but although you should have gone down again immediacingly... I mean, directly, you stayed and played with me. It was really fun!"[/i] She laughs. When they pass Sineater on their way around the dojo, she whispers to Diamond, [i]"That's the preacher!
