SKy was busy today.  she was running errands, getting settled in to her 
new apartment, and cleaning.  And she was hiding.  THings were so 
confusing right now in the Warren.  all this stuff with the rumors.  
Thain kept her well informed of the latest gossip, even though she'd told 
him none of it mattered to her.  She was used to rumors and intrige.  The 
news about Trey had come as a surprise, but she didn't really want to 
judge him on actions he'd commited while he was so sick.  She hated the 
way people seemed to be judging him.  She wasn't sure what to do with 
Shard and Mukale either.  She'd been hanging out with them lately and at 
first it was fine, but lately she'd realized that she couldn't just play 
tomboy around them.  she didn't want to play tomboy at all anymore.  
She'd been thinking about boys a lot lately and about Sarathain.  She 
knew that their was a lot of whispers lately about what would happen when 
Thain flew.  She loved Thain with all her heart, but she didn't really 
know how she was going to handle it when he tried for his first mating 
flight..  She knew that the other rider would be a girl, or a woman 
rather.  SHe was afraid of what that would mean.  She knew she liked men, 
but she wonred how the guys would take it if she had to mate with a female.

It was all so confusing.  

{Sky, Tarranx says that Mukale wants to talk to you.  Something about a 
trip to Tressa.}

{Not now, Thain.  I can't handle it.}

{You can't hide forever.  Maybe you could talk to someone about it.}

Sky sent a wordless wave of love and agreement to her Dragon.  That 
seemed to be the only thing she could do right now.  She would go talk to 
Waylene.  If anyone could help her understand, the Warrenlady could.  She 
got up and got dressed for the meeting.

SKy knocked hesitatntly on the Warrenlady's door.  She poked her head in 
as she hear Waylene invite her in.

"Is this a bad time?"

Waylene sighed softly but shook her head no.  It seemed that her warren 
was full of problems these days.

"I needed to talk to someone and I thought you would be best.  I need 
some advice."

SKy walked into the room and shut the door firmly behind her.  Wayleen 
watched her carefully.

"What is it dear?"

"I need to talk to you about sex."

Waylene blinked in surprise.  This wasn't quite what she had expected 
although she thought that it was a topic that would have come up 
eventually.  

"Could you be a bit more specific, Sky?"

Sky would have bolted and forgotten the whole thing if the lady had used 
a mocking tone or laughed, but as usual, Waylene was using that kind 
gentle voice.

"What am I going to do about Sarathain, Waylene?"
