Supplies and Materials: paint-by-numbers (from kat), photography, canvas (963 FY), brush (gambit), oils, feathers, seed beads (Ineku), novelty beads (Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire--"Desert Rose", Sting), yarn, beading wire, glitter, glue ("Something odd is happening today and you might not be able to grasp its meaning.

Word Count: 321
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Ineku
Warnings: None
Notes: Constructive criticism welcome, as always. I don't think there exists a song as purely Kesshare as that glitter prompt.
I am not as other women, and I will not love you as other women love their husbands. But I will never lie to you, and I will understand your value, unclouded by sentiment, and I will honor that.
Ineku set the letter down and stared out the window, at the vast desert outside. It was like her, wild and powerful and unforgiving. And maybe that was why he loved her--and oh, yes, he loved her, despite everything. He loved her, as he loved his home, harsh and beautiful and deadly and powerful and unforgiving and full of wonder.
He took a moment to consider, out of respect for his family, and for her. She clearly wanted him to enter this marriage--if he did--with his eyes open. He loved her, yes, but that might not be enough.
Ambition played into it, too, he had to admit. Marrying into the royal line was hardly a consolation prize. He would have access there, to research and better training than his border province provided. And children...
He knew her, as he knew the desert, and he knew how hard she would be on the children he knew she wanted. Like she said of him, she would value them--they would be her most valuable possessions.
But he...he would love his children. The more so because they were hers.
Ineku closed his eyes and remembered Telari, his youthful love, pure and sweet and innocent and unclouded--to borrow her phrase--but ambition or politics or hardness. He thought through, as carefully and thoroughly as he could, what his life would be in a marriage like that.
To tell the truth, as much as he had loved Telari--and as much as a part of him still did...she paled in comparison.
There was no one, no life, that he wanted apart from being in Kesshare's shadow. Harsh and unforgiving, deadly and beautiful and powerful...
And full of wonder.

Yeah, it sort of came up halfway through. I'll probably come back to it at some point. Next time I write Ineku.

Ineku and Kesshare do have some details of their personal arrangements to work out yet at this point, but they manage to have a very successful 60-year marriage. It's not easy for Ineku, no, but he's up to it. ^^

Ineku is aww worthy! Though it is kind of weird to have that reaction to a romance involving Kesshare, I'll agree XD
