!he had said to her that his interest in her was morethan Master to servant?13Teshan rubbed his face and sighed. What waswrong with him? He felt uneasy with the feelings hehad at the moment, but they were familiar to himand yet they seemed to come from another timeand place and felt as alien to him as the Pentanoonce had seemed.He lit his pipe and flipped through his journal untilhe came to the page, where he had sketched Sela’sface. He stared at the drawing for a while but thatdidn’t bring him understanding. He was interestedin her…yes, but was that all? Shaking his head heleaned back into his seat.Next morning he went for a walk again. Neither Selanor Namis were anywhere to be found and Teshancouldn’t stop worrying that Namis had taken Selasomewhere. He looked closely around the villageand didn’t see them and so his fears grew.He decided to climb the hill close to the southernedge of the village from where he could have aclear view of the whole area. He started climbingthen stopped in shock as he saw Namis standingthere holding Sela by her wrists and trying to kiss!
!her, while she was making repeated efforts to runaway. Namis was becoming angry and Teshan knewthat he could lose his temper and strike her at anymoment!He ran up the rest of the way to them and pushedNamis away roughly then placed himself in front ofthe terrified Sela and gave Namis a defiant stare.Namis frowned surprised by Teshan’s reaction andsmiled thinly. “So I wasn’t wrong about you!” hesaid.“No, Namis. I just want you to leave her alone. Inever want to see you again! You are a lyingbastard! So just get lost!”Namis raised his hands in defense then turned andran down the hill as fast as he could. Teshan staredafter him angrily and hoped that would be the endof it. He turned around to Sela who was stillstanding there shocked. He went over to her andput his arms around her. This time she allowed himto touch her without flinching. He felt her shakingand stroked her back to calm her.He had never been so close to her. He smelled thescent of Nahira flowers and Selschwa on her hair.He felt her frail body. She laid her head on hisshoulder and he heard her breathing slowing down.He hesitated for a moment then kissed her tenderlyon the neck.He felt that this would be soothing rather thanaffectionate but immediately she stiffened.!
