I chuckled and nodded, knitting my brows a little. "Are you alright Isra my dear?" I asked keep a smile but letting my face show concern.

“What do you mean?” I asked, wondering what I’d done or said to make him think I wasn’t alright.

I shrugged softly. "You just seem, occupied I guess." I said knitting my brows a little before relaxing them. "Pensive in thought."

“I’m sorry,” I said, confused. “I’m not. I’m sorry if it seems that way.”
I fiddled with my napkin, feeling self conscious now.

I smiled softly. "I'm sorry, it just seemed that you were else where." I said feeling a little stupid for bringing it up. "Lets speak of something else. What have you been doing since I saw you last?"

“Still trying to figure out what to do with my life,” I said, laughing softly and shaking my head. “I spent a couple days with my family. My parents both cried when they heard about my marque being made. We went to the Temple of Naamah and made an offering of gratitude.”

I smiled a little wider, pleased to hear that at least her parents where happy that Isra was free. I felt guilty since our last encounter, and I felt guilty that she didn't feel she had a place, and I felt even more guilty that I couldn't give her the life that she deserved to have. "Thats good that you got to spend time with your family, that must have been nice." I said, listening intently.

“It was. It was my father’s natal and we had a little celebration. It was a lot of fun,” I said, smiling wide.

"Thats wonderful." I said still baring my smile as the waiter returned with out meals and placed them down, then returned with a bottle of wine and poured some into our glasses. "How is your family?"

“They are good,” I said, smiling and inhaling deeply of the wonderful aromas coming from my plate. “My sisters are getting so big, they are growing up so fast.”

I smiled and nodded as I listened. "How old are they?" I asked as I picked up my fork and began to press at the food on the plate.

“Sixteen,” I said, picking up my fork. “Almost seventeen actually. Kalila and Ayisha are twins.” I took a bite of my fish and smiled wide at the flavors.

I nodded, taking the first bit on my fork and blew on it before eating it as she spoke. Chewing it down I hummed a happy response at the food. "Do you're parents want your sisters to go to court?" I asked curiously.

“I’m not sure. They are both a little spoiled and my parents don’t really push them towards any future. I think that they are afraid of all their daughters being gone,” I said between bites.

I smiled softly and ate my own bites. "That makes sense." I said softly and nodded. "What do you think they'll do when they get older?"

“I’m not sure anymore,” I said after a moment of thought. “When we were little the three of us used to dream about growing up and starting a dance troupe and going on tour, or marrying three brothers and all living in houses next to each other. I’ve been out of the house so long now that their plans don’t include me and I’m not sure what they’ll be.” my voice dropped a little at the end. It had hurt a little, going home and realizing I didn’t belong there either.

I nodded, seeing her face change a little and knitting my brows a little. "What's the matter?" I asked softly.

“Just wishing I knew what I was going to do with my life,” I said, shaking my head slightly. “I’m sorry.” I smiled softly and took another bite of fish.

I nodded. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up." I replied reaching out and touching her shoulder gently.

My free hand came up and I laid my fingers on his hand. “You didn’t, I brought it up,” I said, giving him a soft smile. “Honestly, any more it seems to come up no matter what I am doing or saying. I’m sorry I ruined the mood.”

I shook my head and gave a little smile. "You'll find your way Isra." I said softly. "I know you'll find your place."

“Thank you,” I said softly. I wanted to try and regain the mood I’d ruined. “How’s your fish?”

“Excellent,” I said after taking another bite. “The flavors are so bold and subtle all at the same time.”

"Good." I said nodding. "I think this was a good choice." I added. "Though you can't beat the fresh fish from Marsilikos, I swear its better there."

“I can imagine that,” I said, smiling. “Certain foods are just better in certain locales from what I’ve heard.”

I nodded, looking down at my meal as I speared a piece. "I think you'd like Marsilikos, I should take you."

For just an instant my fork and heart stilled as I tried to control my reaction.
“That would be nice,” I said, my smile never faltering nor my voice quivering even though the thought of going away with him made my spirit soar.

I nodded looking at my plate as I speared another bite then looked up at her. "Good." I said softly. "When do you think you'd like to go, in the spring perhaps?" I asked looking at her.

“This spring?” I asked, unable to hide my surprise that he meant it as more than just an abstract trip. “Truly?”
