NovelEnglishIt made sense suddenly. Of course Evan would want to show hissonhis first full day. This was important to Evan. His life revolved around the pattern of the moons.
Damien leaned on one wall as Bane and Kein leaned on the other side. Christof setdown and then he bounded back the way we’d come.
I shivered and stepped close to Damien who wrappedin his arms.
“My Brother will bring your warm outfit,” he murmured into my hair. Cold morning air whipped into the cave and I looked over at my son. He was warm and covered, not at all bothered by the weather. The cold wind immediately mademiserable. Damien’s warm arms helped, but it felt as though my bare feet would freeze and drop off.

Jonathan’s attention never wavered off of Evan. I assumed his eyes weren’t developed enough to distinguish anything other than Light and dark. He seemed to like the gentle, murmuring voice of his male breeder, though. Evan held his entire attention.
Christof ran up to us a moment Later. He pulled my boots up my legs as Damien pulled the Long jacket around me. The warm gloves were dragged up my arms and I sighed with relief. This tthe bitter cold in the mountains was unbearable for me.
The second moon had started to set and the sky was becoming Lighter when the rustle of wings interrupted us. Tosu had dropped from above and stepped into the cave next to Bane. Nu-reeh approached from behind us.
The women stood silently for a moment before Tosu spoke.

“You see, Nu-reeh,” she said quietly, “this is how the women with beads say it is.”
Nu-reeh made a sound Like someone that had already had this argument to exhaustion.
“I explained the rules to them,” she said directing the comment to Tosu.
“There was no danger,” Tosu argued.

The women had a staring contest as the sky got brighter and brighter.
“Wait for my Sister,” Nu-reeh begrudgingly told us finally, “and she will take you to see moons rise and set. I forbid you to go alone, Evan.”
“Yes, Mistress,” the men answered her and she turned and left.
Tosu stood at the entrance to the cave, off to the side. I recognized the slightly defensive position and realized she was alert for danger. My young boy meant a great deal to these women.
The sky becmuch lighter and Jonathan gurgled and cooed reaching for the Light. The sound absolutely melted my heart. I put a gloved hand on Evan’s arm and looked at our little boy. He made the noise a second tand yawned big.
“It is not tfor sleeping,” Evan said softly. “Wake and see the morning.”
“New children sleep at odd times,” Tosu told him gently. “The little one will sleep when he is ready and wake when he is done. As he gets older he will follow the moons as you do. They often do not feel the pull until they begin to walk.”
Interesting information and it seemed to calm Evan’s nerves. He could not understand how his child wanted to sleep in the day. I was glad Tosu had taken the tto explain.
