Neesha is growing up.

From FiranMUX

Growing up. Neesha, Yasha, and Jaran. The real facts of life. Neesha grins as she spots Raya. She giggles softly and then whispers to her friend.

You whisper "I started menstrating today!"" to Yasha.

Yasha blinks, and turns her eyes to Neesha.....a curious look on her eyes. "What.....is that?" {Firan}

Neesha blushes a little. She giggles at yasha as she looks around "let's go somewhere else ok?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha nods, and stands as she follows Neesha with a hand holding Neesha's.

Neesha hmms osftly. She tries to think of somewhere to go, and is at a loss. She hmms "The temples?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha smiles and nods.... "Yes...." {Firan}

Neesha hmmms. She looks around and sees hardly anyone here. She giggles alittle "I.. am bleeding. Mother told me, that once you bleed you can breed. And that the blood is a sign that you are a woman.. " {Firan}

Yasha says, "Bleeding? Are you hurt??" {Firan}

Yasha looks at Neesha worrily.....

Neesha shakes her head. "No.. it happens to every female when they become a woman. " She blushes a little, still a little uncomfortable, but her face glowing with pride.. {Excellent Firan}

Yasha says, "Eh.....but....but...isn't it hurt very much?" {Firan}

Neesha shakes her head. "no.. I don't even feel anything" she blushes. Her head tilts a little as her brown eyes look around. "I am bleeding right now and can't even tell. I well. I felt faint earlier today.. and felt someting on my legs. I was soo happy I was home" she blushes a little more "I don't know what I would have done if I was outside" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha says, "Um.....eh.....I......I....I don't want to be a woman if I have to be hurt to be so......" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha giggles. she shakes her head "Do.. do i look like I am in pain Yasha?' She grins, looking as if she is glowing. {Excellent Firan}

Yasha sighs and nods..... "I can't see any sign you're feeling pain....." Yasha looks up at Neesha, and asks after a bit of curious blinking, "But......what's breeding anyway?" {Firan}

Neesha hmms a little. She titls her head and sits down on the ground. "Well.. From what I can understand of it... and what I have been told, it is how we... you and me... are born. What happened to bring us here.. by our parents." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha says, "we are....born?" She blinks confusingly, "Like......I was carried to my parents by a crane?" "" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shakes her head "no silly." She pauses and looks to the girl from where she sits. Her hand moves to tap the ground beside her. "we come from our mothers." She hmms softly and smiles "YOu remember that woman who wanted us to go home cause of the mob. Mes Raya?" {Firan}

Yasha nods.... "Yes.....I remember her, why?" {Firan}

Neesha smiles "Cause. she is breeding. her tummy is big.." {Firan}

Neesha says, "that is a sign of breeding." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha says, "Ah.....?" She blinks.... "You mean, fat means breeding?" {Firan}

Neesha shakes her head "She is not fat... She was very thin before.. and she still is pretty.. Just.. i don't know.. All I know she is breeding.." She sighs and hmms softly "maybe someone else can tell me... {Firan}

Neesha chuckles softly and looks to Yasha "Maybe someone else can tell us rather. " {Excellent Firan}

Yasha tilts her head, and hmms.....

Neesha hmms softly "Your father?... Grandfather?? hmm Maybe my mother could.. but she was very reluctant to tell me this.." {Firan}

Yasha says, "Um......" {Firan}

Yasha frowns a bit, "Is it too complicated, maybe then?" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha hmms softly and tilts her head. "I don't know.. We should ask someone and find out... After all, we both need to know how to do it to be good wives. Yes?" {Firan}

Yasha nods her head lightly.

Neesha giggles softly and stands up. she looks to her friend "Wanna try your house first?" {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly, looking at yasha "Well.. ya wanna??" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha nodsnods, "Yes....I want to know....." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha giggles softly. she smiles and reaches out for your hand. "Well come on then... let's go.." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha smiles and nods, as she holds Neesha's hand and follows.

Yasha knocks on the the door to Jaran's chamber.

From somewhere nearby, you hear a male voice shout, "Help! I'm stuck in here!"

Yasha tilts her head, and opens Jaran's room...

Neesha blinks alittle. She looks to Yasha and then follows her intot he room. She glances around, remembering this man. She shifts a little... fear inher eyes... but stands tall.

Yasha says, "granddaddy?" {Firan}

Yasha bends her knees and lifts side of her skirt to bow at her granddaddy with a excellent noble etiquette. "How are you, granddaddy? Here....is, maybe you remember? My best friend Neesha." She smiles, and walks to him to kiss him on his cheek. {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shifts a little. She hmms, and tries to copy Yasha, with the curtsy. She looks a little flushed in the face right now, as she shifts nervously. She glances at yasha and then back to Jaran "hello my lord" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran messes with the lock a bit, a consternated look on his face.

Yasha blinks.... "Anything wrong with the door, granddaddy?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "Hi, Yasha. Hi, Neesha." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shifts a little. She looks to Jaran, a bit puzzled.

Jaran nods in frustration. "The durned thing was jammed and my key wouldn't work in it. You must have loosened it up from the outside." {Firan}

Neesha giggles softly. she looks to yasha and smiles slightly. she chews on her lower lip and then speaks up. "can.. can we ask you something Lord Jaran?" {Firan}

Yasha smiles and hugs Jaran softly..... "Um.....I will ask my daddy about it......daddy will fix it soon." {Excellent Firan}

Jaran grins and pats the side of his bed. "Come sit down and ask your question." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha turns her eyes to Neesha, and then looks up at Jaran with admiring eyes...... you can see her admire of her grand-granddaddy with his wisdom and knowledges.....

Yasha smile and nods.... "Thanks, Granddaddy~" She leads Neesha, and sits down on the chair beside her. {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blinks. she watches the man move to the bed. she shake sher head "i.. I am ok here my Lord.. if that is ok.." she blushes a little and then looks to yasha. at seeing the other girls face, Neesha looks to jaran and speaks rapidly.. very rapidly "I.. i was telling yasha how I beccame a woman today.. and.. and we were wondering about breeding? " {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shifts alittle where she stands. She looks to Jaran with big brown eyes that are full of questions...

Yasha blinks, and then turns her eyes up at her grand-grandfather, waiting for his answer with curious eyes.

Jaran says, "Breeding?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran looks back and forth at you two.

Jaran says, "You mean, like horses?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha says, "Um.....?" {Firan}

Neesha shakes her head "No.. breeding.. like Mes Raya is doing.. and. umm.. Mes Asala was... " she blushes a little.. " Having babbies!" She blinks as she speaks a ltitle louder, and covers her mouth with her right hand. A blushe spreading acrossed her cheek and down her neck. {Excellent Firan}

Yasha shows a puzzled look as she draws an image of horse with a large tummy under it, in her thought.

Yasha says, "Granddaddy......are babies not coming from the gods by the cranes?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "Oh." {Firan}

Jaran thinks for a long time.

Jaran says, "No, cranes are Uf's animals." {Firan}

Jaran says, "Eesha has Teffies." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shifts for a little. she looks to the man, and slowly takes a few steps towards the bed. "My.. my mom said something about bellies getting big.. and bleeding saying you are ready to breed.. but.. that was all" {Firan}

Yasha blinks.... "Hm.....so Teffies carry us the babies?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran speaks in that tone that adults use when explaining difficult things to young little girls, "When two people love each other really a lot, they get together in private and kiss and pray really hard to Eesha to bring them a baby. If the goddess of love thinks they've prayed well enough, the woman will be given the gift of a child, and a year later will deliver a baby." {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly. She moves to sit on the bed "Why Eesha.. and not Soli.. or Kamesatra?" {Firan}

Jaran says, "The mommy carries the baby in her tummy until it's big enough tostesses help her deliver it when its ready." {Firan}

Yasha nods.... "Ah....." Her eyes glitters with a curious look.... "Wow....and my daddy and mommy got me like that too?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "Eesha is the goddess of love. Babies are always born to a man and a woman who are in love." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha hmms softly. she tilts her head "Always? My daddy said that my uncle was not born out of love.. but lust... what is lust?" {Firan}

Jaran shakes his head. "Not Soli. Though she does watch over mommies and their babies. And not Kamnestra, though she does watch over boys and girls who have lost their mommies and daddies." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha 's face turns to a bit sadness, as she hear that..... "But.....but, why then mommy and daddy don't live together......?" {Firan}

Neesha shifts a little on the bed. she looks to Jaran with big young eyes...

Jaran makes a face at Neesha's question, "Lust is just another kind of love." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha ohhs softly and nods her head. she looks to yasha and bites her lip a little. her legs swinging. You can tell in her eyes she is thinking of another question...

Jaran hugs Yasha with one arm. "Aw, your mommy and daddy love each other a lot, but they're confused. Especially your dad. He's VERY confused. But you knew that." He grins. {Excellent Firan}

Yasha nods.... "But......why don't they just live together and talk each other to understand what they're confusing?" {Firan}

Jaran says, "I think they're too confused to be as wise as this little girl." He points to Yasha, then tickles her with that index finger. {Firan}

Neesha blushes at Yasha and jaran.. she then tilts her head "How does Eesha put the baby in the mommy's tummy?" She bites on her llower lip, looking at the older man very curious... {Excellent Firan}

Yasha giggles a bit as if she is very ticklish, and hugs her grand-granddaddy, as she whispers.... "Thank you, grandpa...I can't understand, but.....I can stand that. I think...." {Firan} Yasha turns her eyes to Neesha, then turns her eyes to Jaran curiously.

Jaran scratches his chin.

Jaran says, "Well, I don't know how she does it! It's pretty neat, huh? I guess that's what being a goddess means. She can do all kinds of magical things." {Firan}

Yasha says, "Um...maybe....eesha make a magic which can put baby into the stomach?" {Firan}

Neesha hmms a little.. "But then.. why can't I have a child now.. I love me.. And I love my grandfather.. but i don't have a child? I even love my Uncle too!" {Firan}

Yasha nodsnods understandingly.

Neesha shifts a little. She looks from Jaran to her belly, examining it closely.

Jaran shakes his head. "Because you're not old enough to take care of a baby." {Firan}

Yasha nods.....

Jaran says, "And you haven't had your rite of passage yet. Did your daddies tell you about the Ceremony of Souls?" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blinks. she looks at jaran "I.. I am a woman! I started my first bleeding today.... " She smiles and sits up a little taller, proud of this fact. she then giggles softly "Does this mean I.." She blinks and gasps alittle. She shakes her head and watches the man speaking, very attentively. {Firan}

Yasha tilts her head a bit.....and she turns her eyes between jaran and neesha curiously.

Jaran says, "It means your body is ready for it, but it doesn't mean that your mind is." {Firan}

Jaran taps Neesha's skull with his knuckles to prove his point, and he grins.

Jaran says, "There are many kinds of love. Babies should be born when you're in love in that special way that makes Eesha the happiest." {Firan}

Neesha blinks. she gasps, and moves her hands up to her head to fend off Jaran's hands.

Jaran says, "And you should make sure you get married so that the daddy sticks around to help you with your baby. Cuz things are always better with a mommy AND a daddy around, right Yasha?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha looks up at Jaran admirely as the answers prove her grand-grandfather very wise.......maybe the most wise man in the world if she is thinking right. Yasha smiles and nods at Jaran..... "Yes, Grandpa." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha giggles softly. she nods her head. "I already know who I want to marry anyways.. he is the handsomest.. bravest.. most wonderful man in all of the city" she giggles,a nd starts swinging her legs a little, kicking the bed. she sighs a little and closes her eyes.. off in her fantasy world... {Firan}

Jaran says, "So, the Ceremony of Souls... do you know about it?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha shakes her head, then turns to see Neesha.

Neesha hmms a little. She hsakes herhead and looks to yasha.. she smiles a little and looks to Jaran "Uh-huh. Nope." {Firan}

Yasha then turns her eyes to her grandgrandpa, "What's that....grandpa? Is it a ritual that make one to be an adult?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran gets wide-eyed and goes into his storytelling voice. "Well, you see," he starts, "when a boy or a girl gets to a certain age, we hold a special ceremony called the Ceremony of Souls." {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "It's special because -- yes, Yasha -- it marks the passage of you turning into an adult." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha listens to Jaran, intensely. her brown eyes open wide, watching each word fall off of jaran's mouth.

Yasha blinks.... "Wow...eh....I want to have the ritual very soon....." {Excellent Firan}

Jaran continues, "Unot sends an adult soul down from the stars and puts it in your body, but it has no memory at all. But somehow, it helps you grow and get bigger and stronger and smarter and prettier!" {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly "does that mean I get to have mine.. since I started bleeding?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "You get to have yours very soon, Neesha." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha grins softly. she nods her head and shifts on the bed. "Ohh.. How soon.. and what about Yasha!" {Firan}

Yasha frowns and says as she pulls Jaran's sleeve to get an attention... "How about me, how about me, grandpa?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "This process of sorting out two souls in one little body can be very confusing, and it'll make you go through many changes and it'll make you cranky and angry and all kinds of things, but when you work it all out you'll be a full-fledged adult." {Firan}

Jaran adds with a snicker, "Some people, like Lord Nydiam, never quite sort it all out." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha blinks....

Neesha hmms softly. She tilts her head "I.. i don't like the sound of that." She hmmfs and then looks to yasha. She then looks to Jaran "What about YAsha??" {Firan}

Jaran says, "I'm not sure you're quite ready yet, dear Yasha. Maybe next year. Your body will know when it's time..." {Excellent Firan}

Yasha frowns and sighs depressingly.....

Neesha hmms softly.. "How.. how soon will.. will.. this other soul.. this adult soul be sent down?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "When we have the ceremony and pray really hard for a good one!" {Firan}

Jaran says, "Is there someone who died a long time ago in your family that you really respect? You can pray that Unot sends him or her." {Firan}

Yasha says, "Grandpa.....Neesha will be a priestess.....She will perform ritual for me too, I hope." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha hmms softly.. "I.. I am not sure.. " she hmms softly and looks tot he ground "My.. my grandfathr.. and my Father talk about my real grandmother all the time.. she.. she died before... Before I was born..." She hmms a little and shifts on the bed. Her words come out softly from her lips as she looks to the floor. "When... when will that be? I.. i mean if my bodyis ready for being an adult.. but.. but I don't have an adult soul.. does that mean my body stops being ready.. and I have to wait again?" {Firan}

Jaran says, "Your body won't stop being ready, Neesha. Don't worry." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blinks She looks to Jaran "But.. but what if my grandmother does not like me?" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha shifts a little on the bed. "I.. I mean I.. I did some bad things.. I.> i thought my grandfatherhated me.. " She sighs a little and then looks to Yasha.. "I.. i wanna be like you now.. I don't wanna be ready..." {Firan}

Jaran says, "Eh, you'll sort it out." {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "You seem like a strong-willed little squirt." {Firan}

Neesha sighs a little.. "My.. my Uncle died not toolong ago.. but.." She pauses and peers to Jaran curiously.. "Does.. does the soul who I pray fro have to be a female/ I mean I wouldn't want a male soul would I?" {Excellent Firan}

Yasha blinkblinks, and then turns her eyes to Jaran.

Jaran says, "What's it matter? A soul is a soul. What makes us boys and girls is our bodies, right?" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "But you can always trust Unot to pick a good soul for you." {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly and titls her head "Is it? Then.. then why did I hear someone saying something about some woman who does not like men? " She sighs and then nods her head alittle.. still confused on the matter.. {Firan}

Jaran nods. "Yeah, maybe that explains it, Neesha. But _where_ do you hear all these things?" {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blushes. "I.. I have a big family.. and many uncles. Many times they don't notice i am around.. and.. and sometimes I hear things in the market place too" she blushes even more "Like.. like how two woman were in the market place one day.. and saying something " She hmms and pauses. Her head tilting towards the ceiling as her hand moves to scratch her chin. "hmmm.. It was something about the man that was naked in the market place" She frowns a little, and lowers her head "I.. I don't remember waht.. But I know I did not understand it" {Firan}

Jaran says, "Maybe someone stole his clothes when he was in the bath..." {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly. "But.. he was staying there at a picnic table... and was not looking for him. he kept on yeling something about love." she frowns and looks to Jaran "Does love make you do that?" {Firan}

Jaran laughs. "Sometimes, maybe. Love makes people do crazy things." {Firan}

Neesha hmms alittle. She looks to Yasha and then back to Jaran.. "Wh.. what crazy things did you do?" {Firan}

Jaran shakes his head, "I never did any crazy things. I was always rational and well-behaved." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha hmms softly. She nods her head a little.. she looks to the floor and then asks another question.. softly "How.. How did you know that.. that your.. your wife." She pauses and looks up to Jaran "how.. how did you know you loved her? and.. and she loved you?" Emphasis seems to be placed on the second part of that question.... as curiousity fills her eyes. {Firan}

Jaran seems to search back into his memory. "Well, we spent a long long time getting to know each other." {Firan}

Jaran gets a faraway sad look on his face.

Neesha hmms softly.. she tilts her head a little looking at the man.. She frowns a little, and reaches over to touch jaran's knee.. "I.. I am sorry.. I.. I did not mean" She sighs and shakes her head "I never do anything right.. no matter what I am doing.." She slips her hand from Jaran's leg and hmmfs a little. {Firan}

Jaran says, "No, it's okay. I miss her and it makes me sad that she's not around anymore, but we had nothing but happy memories together." {Firan}

Neesha hmms softly. "Ma.. maybe when yasha is ready.. she can pray to have her soul.. so yu will always be around her?" Neesha pauses for a moment looking to Jaran with doubtful eyes, but they glimer slightly with hope. {Firan}

Jaran shrugs. "Maybe. But, you see, one of the nice things about girls like Yasha is that she already carries a little bit of my wife in her eyes, in her attitude, in her hair. I see aspects of her there." {Firan}

Jaran says, "Well, it's getting late." {Excellent Firan}

Jaran stands up. "Thank you for rescuing me from this broken door," he says, grinning suddenly. "Shall I have a servant escort you back across the city?" {Firan}

Neesha nods her head. She hmms softly and then whispers a little "may.. maybe I can ask for her soul to help me?" She slowly slips off the bed and nods her head tot he man. {Firan}

Jaran pauses and calls to one of his servants. "Take this lovely young woman back to her home." {Excellent Firan} Jaran says, "You're very welcome to come by any time, and perhaps you can get your father to talk to me about arranging a study program for you. I'm sure there's a big scholarship for a fine young woman such as yourself." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blinks a little. She nods her head at jaran and giggles softly. "I.. I will when i see him. he will be soo proud.. but. but It cannot interfer with my Duties to Uf.. or to mes karison. I.. I am to be a priestess and am training with the preists and priestesses there.. and.. and I jsut got a job today working for Mes karison!" {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "I'm sure Uf will approve of your studies, dear." {Excellent Firan}

Neesha blushes a little. "I.. I need to go pray and tell Uf this right away!" She giggles and looks to the servant.. She takes the person's hand and skips a little. She turns around and graces a glorious smile upon Jaran as she waves bye to the man. {Excellent Firan}

Jaran says, "Good night, dear." {Excellent Firan}
