“They did not make you happy when you were there, Ciara,” Master Kein said. “I do not understand why you miss them.”
“How do you know that?” I sniffled.
I’d never told Master Kein about my family.
“We share what we know with one another. You have spoken to both Christof and Damien. You told my brothers they beat you and did not feed you. They often left you no good place to sleep. How is it you miss these other humans?” he asked.

When the sun started to set the men dressedback in my dull brown outfit. I stood silently watching the sun set over the horizon as we waited for the transport pad. The sun setting over the water was beautiful, but the men didn’t seem to notice. I chuckled a little at that, when did men ever notice things Like a sunset?

Master Evan pulled the head covering off ofand watched my face. My smile faded quickly. I hadn’t meant to get their attention.
“What’s so funny?” Master Kein asked from my other side.
I rambled out an answer that sort of made sense, “The sun setting is pretty and you didn’t notice. Men from Earth never notice things like that either and I was laughing because you don’t watch things like that.”
“We have seen the sunset many times, Ciara,” Master Damien said, “almost every day, actually. It is hard to miss.”
“Yes, Master Damien,” I answered quietly as Master Evan replaced my hood.
I still disagreed with Master Damien, but I wasn’t stupid enough to tell him. It’s one thing to see something, it’s another thing entirely to appreciate it. They didn’t seem to get esoteric ideas like that.
After trying to explain feelings to them, I figured I’d leave that discussion for another day.
As we rode back to the Warrior’s compound I watched the scenery. This really was an amazing planet. It was harsh and the Landscape was certainly unforgiving, but it had a certain beauty. I would gladly experience it, as long as I wasn’t left naked and to fend for myself.

I craned my neck to watch the sign as we flew past it. Master Damien noticed my attention and leaned close to me.
“You saw the travel sign?” he asked and I nodded.
“Signs Like that tell men that travel these routes that they are protected by Warriors from our compound. It also reminds them the correct direction to the compound,” he said.
I wasn’t sure I should speak in my brown outfit, so I just nodded again and Master Damien Looked away.
I wondered what type of men would travel to the compound. Perhaps traveling salesmen I thought, but I could not be sure.
When we got back hthe men undressedand we walked down to the bathhouse. I walked confidently into the water and cleaned Master Damien like I was supposed to. He madego underwater to wash his feet and I didn’t have any trouble with it.
