Mary smiled broadly at Yavia and said “I told Sharah about Chuck’s quick draw expertise. I think it shocked her a bit, is all.” and she smiled and wi ked at Sharah. Charles looked at her through narrowed eyes and said “And just what, exactly, did’ja tell her?” Cecil chuckled and shoved almost an entire roll in mouth and Donna pulled both her lips between her teeth trying not to smile. Mary grinned even bigger and said “What? I just told her that you were superfast on the draw and that a lotta folks found that very… impressive.” and Cecil almost chocked trying not to spit his roll across the table.

Sharah focused on her food and did not look at Mary at all. She knew exactly what everyone meant and what they were thinking and what they felt about it. Even the things tangentially related. It made her uncomfortable. It always had, but at least she didn’t go screaming from the room like she had as a child. She glanced across the table at Yavia one brow raising slightly with a mental sigh.

Sharah

All at once Yavia got the whole thing from Sharah. Sharah had been honestly discussing TK’s proficiency with all the different weapons he owned, and Mary had turned it into some much more risque. Sharah was mature and knowledgeable in many ways, but in others she was still very innocent and scared. Yavia admitted though that Sharah’s mental picture of TK all decked out was delicious. She’d have to tell TK to make sure to dress up like that for Sharah some time. Her lovers would both appreciate the effect.

So many comments came across Yavia’s mind, but she didn’t want to send Sharah running for her room either. “That’s because what comes after is the best part and deserves the most attention.”

It was Cecil whoanaged to change the subject. Checking down the roll with the last half of his beer, he wiped his mouth and cleared his throat. “So, Boy… you still pickin’ that there guitar of yours?” and his eyes darted to Mary and he said “NO comments!” Mary looked at him with mock indignation, but remained silent.

Charles nodded once and said “Yessir, I am. Me and a couple’a friends even did a show at a club while back. Yavia and Sharah were there, in fact.” Dinna smiled at him and then at the two women. “He always had a talent.” Mary bit her tongue and looked at her brother who looked back with a slightly embarrassed smile and mouthed Stop! silently at her, causing her to put her napkin to her face and try really really hard not to laugh. Cecil shook his head at her, but smiled before saying “Well, maybe you an’ I can do some pickin’ out on that back porch of yours. You up for a little jam session?” Vharles smiled and said “Always up for playin’ with ya, Pa.” The elder Tenkiller nodded once and said “Good. Then y’all eat and then we’ll bust out the strings and see if we can still make your Mamma dance.” Donna smiled broadly and said “Only if Yavia and Sharah join me.”

Yavia sat up and looked at her plate that was still mostly untouched. “I’m done. I’ll go start the fire pit.” She looked at Donna, “I’ll dance, but it usually embarrass everyone around me. Sharah on the other hand,” she grinned wickedly at the other woman, “is an amazing dancer.”

“Well it’s time to pick it back up again isn’t?” She chuckled and snatched the roll off her plate and took a bite as she sashayed to some unknown horrible rhythm on her way out the door.
