Tales of the Jewel

Raya didn't stop Qasim taking her hand, as she had a look of confusion on her face. "I am not understanding. If you are thinking marriage then...you are wanting Raya to become Dahabi?" She looked at Qasim, still looking confused. "Am thinking I am not following what is what. Was following previously...

Raya adjusted as Soraya lays down, resting her head on the other womans shoulder. A smile on her face. She remained quiet, enjoying the moment for a while, before speaking a short while later.

"Have you read anything in your library about magic carpets?"

"Do you have any more stories of them? I'd love to learn more about the people, I have stories from most people but not from there. Even if it's basis of a story I can make it bigger" Raya said with a grin, dipping back under the water again for a few moments before coming back up again. "I've hear...

Raya took a bite out of the marshmallow. It was still a little too hot but it gave her a few moments to actually think on what to say. Once she swallowed she spoke. "World is very very big. Much to visit, many places. Not always safe but there is lot to see. Have travelled with many before, but neve...

Raya went quiet for a bit, processing the words and trying to understand them. "Am thinking it is more complicated than anything before. There are some things I am knowing though." She turned, sitting properly on the womans lap and facing Soraya. Looking into her eyes. "I am wanting to say this prop...

"How strange, they wish to be separated from the world but still be part of it? Maybe they just need to meet the Ra'Shari and see that the world is colourful" Raya grinned as she looked back to Qasim "Ra'Shari can unite the world in song and stories. I'm sure their people like song and stories, eve...

There was a look of surprise.

"Is bad for Yodotai to leave people? Even if loving another?"
