When the redhead didn't answer just sat there looking at her, Jeneve
wrung her hands nervously finally speaking, "It's about the guards!

The Sr. Wingleader remained silent her face showing no expression as
she stared at the tall blonde. Finally Jeneve said softly, "Breezy I
feel with you I can be blunt!"

Breezy almost smiled as Jeneve began chewing on her bottom lip
nervously, arching an eyebrow was the only indication that the shorter
woman gave, that she was even listening.

"It's the guards, they follow me everywhere! I would at least.....I
would at least like to go to the bathroom by myself!" Jeneve blurted
out, her face reddening at her words.

Silence filled the room as Breezy stared at Jeneve who kept looking
down into her lap timidly.

"Why?" the redhead answered quietly trying to keep the amusement from
her eyes.

Jeneve's eyes widened in shock, then she realised that the senior
wingleader was joking, and laughed.

"I think there are *some* things I can do on my own!" the warrenlady
said with a grin.

Breezy nodded, gently, trying to calm her swirling head.

"Well, do you think there's anything you can do?" Jeneve asked. "I've
asked them as the warrenlady, but they get all officious and start
saying that it's their 'duty' to protect me."

"Relax," said Breezy. "I'll sort it."

"Thanks," said Jeneve, with an embarassed grin.

{Day 17 Early Afternoon In the Jeneve's Office}

<snip from Tree>

"I mean, like maybe make a whole day of it actually, big picnic, pig
on the spit, games, maybe split the wings and have some fun
competition like three legged races, archery contests or something,
have some fun stuff for the kids, then in the evening the customary
dance! I think it would go a long ways towards morale.  We could talk
to the vendors about giving up a few trinkets and maybe have Uncle
make some extra special goodies for prizes!"

Seeing the look on Jeneve's face Breezy continued, not sure if the
look was a positive one or not. "It would only take a couple of days
to get everything together and it would give everyone something to
look
forward to. You know kind of a last of the summer fun
thing....fling...whatever!"

The little redhead leaned against the stool with her arms folded and
waited, not even thinking along the lines, that something like this
would be a perfect teaching tool for Jeneve to get more oriented with
the warren responsibilities.

Jeneve had her head tilted on one side, and a thoughtful look on her
face. Slowly, a broad grin stretched from one ear to the other.

"I like it!" she said.

Jumping up, the warrenlady clapped her hands, enthusiastically.

"It'll be fun, and it's *just* what everyone needs after the dreadful
time they've been through recently. We can talk nicely to Uncle, and
I'm sure he'll come up with a splendid feast! If you and Galen could
speak to some of the vendors, I'm sure they'll think it's a wonderful
opportunity to show off their wares, and you can introduce me to them
too - I've got to get to know them, and it's the perfect excuse!

"And we can have games for the children," the tall blonde continued.
"Oh, I can't wait to tell Dizzi! And everyone will be able to dress up
in their nicest clothes, and I'm sure we can think of something nice
for the dragons to do and eat, and..."

"I take it that means you like the idea," said Breezy, with a grin.

Jeneve just nodded enthusiastically. "When do we get started?" she
said.
