Charminei blinked, and replied simply, "For until we need to move again. Why? This place is nicer than our old spot. I'd rather have a river than an oasis, and it's greener here too. I bet we'll even get more game coming this way, and that means better dinners for all."

She cradled her babe as she thought. On the tip of her tongue was to say 'exile them' but that was stupid. People would resent her for that.

If it's something petulant then I suppose I can try to explain things better or let them sulk it out."

"Good." Alexi approved. "Now can we step into our own hut? I've missed you and I'd like to have my wife to myself for a few minutes," he entreated.
