^A slight smile dawns over her face at his first words. She murmered softly, just barely audibly.^ "And I, too." ^At his mention of become a Prince, she tilts her head slightly.^ "It is a heavy load, I guess. But it does hold respect. If your father came back, he would think twice before going after a Prince." ^She waits for the question, and upon hearing it, sighs wearily, looking out at the sweeping desert.^ "My father came for me, and took me home upon the knowledge that I had not yet married. He quickly arranged for my mariage to Sheikh Badaleir Ibn Dasanat." ^She shivers involutarily at the man's name, unconciously drawing a bit closer to Raska.^ "He bid me marry him for an alliance, for Sheikh Badalier held a powerful tribe. I hated the man from the first. I almsot did become a harem girl, another pretty face in that awful man's bed, he who was twice my age and didn't care for brains, just beauty. He was a strong man, so I always made sure I was never alone with him. He scared me. I have never been scared of a person before that man. The queer way he looked at me, everything about him. So, the night before my wedding, I fled." ^She sighed wearily, seeming not to be able to discuss the rest. Turning to Raska, she asked, with forced casualness.^ "What has happened with your sire of late?"
