It was another glorious morning outside. Sunlight streamed through what could be classified as a window in the wall of her cave-like room. She was happy when she woke up. She prepared the tea she always made for herself and a different brew for Yvaine. The past several days she'd taken the tea to her so that her leg would heal faster.

But after showering, dressing and heading to Yvaine's room, she found that the star woman's leg was by some miracle completely healed. She examined the leg herself and was astonished. Yvaine explained about Tonks and the magical ability to heal instantly and Ayla wished that she had a similar power.

Leaving Yvaine, she headed down to the cafe for some breakfast. She settled herself in a booth and a golem made of clay walked over to take her order. She ordered some poached eggs, a ham steak and a nutty bread toast with gooseberry jam. She waited patiently for it to arrive, sipping some cold milk and looking around at the other patrons of the restaurant. When it arrived, she smiled and thanked the golem who promptly turned and left her to her breakfast.

She buttered and jellied her toast, taking a bite out of it. She was still astonished at the idea that she didn't have to go find all this food herself. That it was already prepared was even more strange. She was used to having the hunters provide the meat for her, but she always had to prepare it. And she had to gather grains and roots to supplement their meat supply. For it all to be laid out in front of her with no work on her part other than requesting it, was altogether unnatural.

She hummed slightly under her breath as she ate, still watching the other customers in the cafe under the cover of lowered brows. She had been reprimanded many times by Creb not to stare. But staring in the Clan equaled eavesdropping. She was just observing, but she still didn't want to be caught in case these people also thought it was rude. She lifted her gaze to the door when she saw it open from the corner of her eye.

She recognized the broad, dark-haired man and, after swallowing the mouthful of food, she smiled and lifted a hand to wave.

"Jondalar was special, John. He was the first man I knew that looked like me. One of the Others. Up until I found him and his brother, I had never seen a man who was not of the Clan." She tilted her head slightly and smiled when he took her hand and held it to his lips, licking her finger clean of the crumb she'd pushed into his mouth. She felt a tug in her belly and she laughed softly when he said she tasted good.

She ducked her head, flushing gently and grinned broadly. She lifted it, however, and her blue eyes widened when he asked if he could kiss her. She nodded. "I like the mouth on mouth, kiss." She moved the basket and crawled across the blanket to rest on her knees in front of him.

She felt a thrill at the prospect of his kiss, and the thrumm in her belly warmed her even under the heat of the sun. She watched his face, saw the worry that wrinkled his forhead and reached her hand up to smooth them away. "I want you to kiss me, John." Her hand moved from his forhead down the side of his face to curl around the back of his neck. She lowered her lips to his and felt instant electricity raise gooseflesh on her skin. She shivered with the thrill and deepened it, pressing herself closer to him in the meantime.
