Anara touched her face in return, running a hand through her hair and moving in to kiss her. –Inraya… This love for you is boundless…– Anara spoke back to her through their link. The words were a romantic phrase used in early Kazon poetry, referencing an epic poem Anara’s mother used to recite to her when she was a girl. The full verse went ’This love for you is boundless. This cause is yours to keep. Our eyes upon the heavens, the skies for us must weep.’ The poem was about a love story between one of the early majs of Kaze and the woman he loved from a rival sect, written against a backdrop of a time of great unrest. Through their link, Kes knew, her wife had never been moved to say things like that to her husband (who was never one for poetry) when he’d been alive, and it made Kes glad that she could be that for her – that she could be a person with whom Anara could share her most secret self, without fear of rejection.
”I think we should go play a game outside now, Lanam.” Tresit told his sister in a somewhat hushed voice.
”Why?” Lanam asked.
Their kiss broke and Kes smiled against her wife’s lips in amusement, Anara doing likewise.
”Never mind that now, just come with me, and I’ll tell you why later.” Tresit told her.
”If you say so.” Lanam agreed. ”Just don’t forget, okay?” She made sure to tell him.
”I won’t, now come sister.” Tresit said, taking his sister outside to play in the afternoon shade. It was that time of day when the sun was waning and the temperature was becoming more comfortable again.
Kes giggled. ”They’re so cute sometimes.” She told her.
”They truly are.” Anara replied, giving her another brief kiss and then getting up, Kes shifting in bed to give her room to sit, and then cozying up to her once she had.
They kissed again for long minutes on end, neither in any hurry to do anything else or say anything else.
Finally though, Anara stopped and sighed. Kes cupped her chin gently and ran her hand up her forearm from where she’d been resting it over Anara’s hand. ”What is it?” Kes asked softly, not really quite ready to consider all the many things it could be. She’d been deliberately not thinking very much about what had happened in the morning after they’d both been woken up by Lanam’s cries for her missing brother.

Oh, you know, that’s the day when Americans celebrate that, at a certain point in history, a war was fought with the British for the right to be humorous instead of humourous… there’s fireworks and evveerrything ^_^;
