Thanks so much, Falak!! Using so many different doll makers the way I did, I figured that I'd better color code my heroines, lol!

I love these dresses! The blue on the tan/light brown especially really pops!

Smoke Cat thinks she understands as well. After all, Jason/Jonas clearly said over a year before that he was not ready to wed, and he has been careful not to do anything that would indicate that he has changed his mind. She bids her sister farewell, and promises to scry for her often, which is not an ideal means of keeping up with someone, but is better than nothing. Many tears are shed, and many brave smiles exchanged, and at last the wand is entrusted to Summer Wind and on its way south.

"This is what I do best, and it's good to feel necessary again, not to be idle..." "Have you felt idle, then?" Smoke Cat asks him. "Do you not see the role that you have assumed? The clan has had no lore keeper, no teller of tales, since Talks Over the Left went berserk and attempted to murder Spring and Song." Jonas smiles wryly, but it does not quite reach his eyes. "So as long as I don't try to kill anyone, I'm an acceptible replacement? Your people need you, Lady Cat; I understand."

Often during these last days of preparations, Smoke Cat Watching is aware of Jonas, as Suj, standing behind her, and more than once she turns and tries to thank him. "I know what I'm asking you to do, in going back, or at least I can guess," she says to him earnestly. "I would go with you if I could, but the council of elders has decreed that it is too soon after the tension with the neighboring clans for me to be absent from Sun Horse." "You don't know cities, anyway," he teases the shaman.

Summer Wind has grown some and acquired a moderate tan, and this, along with resuming the name "Sarah", is felt to be adequate protection. Just before she must leave, they celebrate her fifteenth birthday. Along with various useful items, including a good knife and a pair of new boots, she is given her choice of horses. Unfortunately, the mare cannot journey with her to the south, since Summer Wind will be busy attending the Arcane Academy upon her arrival, but the girl is nonetheless elated.

Since Jonas is returning to the same region where he left his name and identity behind, he of course assumes a new disguise. This time it is he who dyes his skin with the iodine and walnut juice mixture, and uses the henna on his hair, which he has cropped close to the scalp. He announces that he will now be called only "Suj", explaining that he has dropped the "N" because "Sinjin" had two. White Bear pats him on the head and tells him that makes perfect sense, as though he were a toddler.
