I Like my Space

I am a bit confused. I am not sure if this is stress over Saresh mating or if it has something to do with the gravitational pull of the moons .. but Arigh is acting all inside out different with me.

Now I have spoken to the woman. I am her guardian. We have talked and visited and all .. but never has she entered my personal space. Well the other night she did not just enter it she crawled all up in it and got my attention.

First she tackled me. Now the only women that tackle me .. well there is only one now and that is Silken. So it was different just because it was ... different. Then she snuggled all up to me and put her hand on my thigh.

What about that is not weird. Honestly. Has she ever even seen the slaves get that free with me at the main fires? Without getting their head severed or sent away? Where did this come from all of the sudden? She never acted like this before. Ever. Did I do something? Did something happen?

I promised her I would reward her quest. She thought I was joking. Aside from dragging her aside and raping her ass .. what was I going to do? I let it slide. Most of it .. save for her hand on my thigh. That needed to stop if she wanted to keep all her clothes on and her neck free of steel.

I have spoken to Arigh a couple of times since then. Given her a more serious warning. She listened .. I think. She told me she had not meant to offend me .. I knew this. It is why I did not punish her. She asked me if it made me uncomfortable. I said yes .. it does.

She asked me if I liked to be chased.

What? I had to have her explain that one. She told me some men like to be chased .. she wondered if I was one ... if she chased me would I run for cover. I asked her why that was something of concern for her.

She said that she did not know me well but she would like to. If she chased me .. would I run.

Well ... I asked her if she did not think she needed a bit more time after Saresh? Last I knew she was pretty busted up about that one. But I told her .. even if Saresh was not in the picture ... which he had been recently enough for me to say that .... that the best thing she could do was be herself. We could not help but get to know each other. That she should not try to fit what I may or may not like but .. just being her it would be obvious if there was going to be a fit. It either would .. or would not.

She asked me why I keep everyone out of my personal space. I told her that was none of her business. She did not know me well enough to ask that yet .. perhaps some day she would. All she needed to know at this point was to respect it. If she wished me to tolerate her at all that is .. which seemed to be a motivation.

She asked me if I had an answer how to break into it without upsetting the balance. Well I had to smirk. Like I would tell her.

No.

But I did validate that by telling her I would not tell her anyway. I told her there was no reason to give her answers to what she needed to do or not do naturally ... thus negating that "fit" or "no fit" thing.

I have seen Arigh only once or twice since then. She is back to being the Arigh I knew before and she has not acted strange again. Since I know how much she liked Saresh and how much she was hurt by that not working out I of course do not take a thing she said to me about me seriously. Time will tell if Arigh will develop any real interest in another man again.
