The first to hear of it of course were the tribe themselves. Ce'nija asked kindly if either of them would be open to surrogacy or some such. But Kisaik wasn't sure it worked like that. A tunawa needed special feelings to open up their flower to another tunawa's pollination. And vice versa. So kind though it was, Kisaik turned her down, and insisted that she find someone among the tribe or outside of it who she fancied. Ce'nija of course blushed amber at that, perhaps she already had someone in mind.
Aida of course had several flowers growing in her hair at this time, and had more than a few of them already pollinated. By whom, nobody really could say. Kisaik looked askance at Alaiwa, wondering, but just winked at him which of course caused him to blush orange-amber to his face.
Kisaik was walking toward the main tent-village of Sweetsong then, and came across Vega. "Hullo Lady Vega! Would you walk to me to the Sweetstone tree? I think it's time I paid homage to Ashan on this Ashan's Walk. I would think the Sweetstone Tree is as close to a chapel as we have at the moment, no? Maybe we should think of setting up shrines here or there. Or we could make the tree itself a shrine? With Ornaments to this Immortal or that spirit. Wouldn't that be nice?"
Kisaik smiled, and if she consented to walk with him, he'd go along toward the path that led up to the silvery tree. As they went, he spread little flower petals along his path, that he'd gathered here or there.
"I was thinking... Rabu and I haven't been able to find a way to make a sprout. But I heard stories... that you helped a couple of cadouri in Faldrass. I was wondering..." Kisaik paused, hoping he wasn't overstepping.
