Beyond My Knowing, chapter 26

The dark thoughts were there too, from what she’d shown him of Lingen. She could sense Artem’s deep and growing revulsion at the things he’d seen of a man he once had looked on as a role model in life. Lingen had seemed to him to be a fierce man, brave and strong. A man to be emulated, a man like his father…
Her nephew was lost, but, Kes could tell for sure now that he didn’t have any more hate in him for Tresit. He’d forgiven him.
Kes took her hand away and met his eyes. ”I believe you too.” She told him. He didn’t smile or answer or anything, he just looked away.
Kes looked back towards Tresit. She didn’t need to ask Anara, she already knew her wife agreed with her. They’d arrived at the decision at almost the same time, in fact. ”I’m going to release him.” Kes told her son.
Tresit opened his mouth, but then closed it again and nodded.
Lanam looked worried. ”Do you promise?” She asked her cousin softly from across the room. ”Blood and bones, do you promise not to hurt Tresit?”
That seemed to get Artem’s attention and he looked over at the young blind girl who was his cousin and Kes could see some of Tresit’s caring for her in his eyes. ”I… I promise, Lanam… My sacred oath, upon my blood and bones, forever, I swear, I’ll never… I’ll never hurt you, your… mothers, or your brother.” He spoke, looking to Tresit then. ”Not on purpose. Not unless it’s in self-defense.”
Lanam looked relieved. ”That’s um, that’s fair I guess. I… I accept your word then.” She told him shyly.
Kes moved to untie him then.
From there it was a mostly silent thing, readying for bed. Kes offered Artem the travel bedding from her pack and they bedded down for the night. Kes had lost the immediacy of her desire to make love with her wife by that point, tired as she was with her thoughts troubled more than they ever had been. With that and the new presence in their house, she was more than content to just hold Anara and be held, talking silently with her through their mental bond.
