Under a Starless Sky

Chapter 32

They gathered the nonperishables to walk back to his cave. Irksome came in, picked up a one of the remaining gunny sacks, and started to walk with them. The three females walking with him emulated him. Candace laughed. It was awkward for them carrying bags, and they set it down, adjusted, picked it up. TL commented on the eagerness to help and suggested a harness, which was now available in his bag, via site to site replicator- as opposed to his magic. Shen instructed them to put them down, using hand gesture. They complied. Irksome made a noise and a hand gesture. TL removed the harness from his bag. He explained, coming closer. Irksome submitted, lowering himself to the ground. Candace immediately understood, and hooked up sacks so that the weight was balance.

On command, Irksome stood, carrying most of the load. The other three knelt, also wanting to carry. When the last had nothing to carry, it protested something fierce, throwing so much of a tantrum they redistributed the weight so that they were all carrying.

“They’re like children,” Candace said. “In their understanding and wanting…”

“That’s how I see it,” Shen said.

“Yet, they are like adults in their skill at hunting…”

“Children are much more devious, manipulative, and cunning about getting their needs met, and they can be equally deadly, sometimes out of need, sometimes out of mischievousness,” Shen said.

“There is that,” Candace said. She was sullen. “I have killed creatures when there was no need. I was just…”

“Human,” Shen said.

Candace let tears flow. “I am sorry, Shen.”

“It is what it is. I hold no grievance.”

“That’s not true…”

“I let it go in measures,” Shen said. “Come, let’s get you home.”

With help of the Irks, instead of going to his cave, they made their way straight to West Midelay. They had walked some distance when she realized something. She brought them to a stop. She planted her staff hard in the dirt and let go. It was dark.
