Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening "I just said I don't remember," she replied, shifting nervously in a way that caused her arrow to sway alarmingly. But her wrists were tiring, and she eased the bowstrong. "I don't want to remember. It was awful."

Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening Umar, who was still wrapped in pink ribbons, sat down on a rock. "What about it was horrible?" he asked. "Do you remember your mother? Or your father?"

Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening Dareen made a slow half-hearted turn-around. "I think I must've had a stepmama," she admitted. "Them's usually wickeder than real mamas, you know. My real mama was probably nice. I think I remember her a bit. But--" She lifted her little shoulder. "She probably died or something. And then the stepmamas always try to kick you out of the house."

Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening "I don't know. I think . . . she sang all the time. She had songs for everything. And she had names for all the flowers. And she . . . if you brought her little dead birds, she could bring them back to life." She looked thoughtful. "She was probably all right. Probably just the stress of living in a society that devalues women that caused her to forsake me."

Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening Umar tilted his head to one side. "Devalues women?" he asked. "That...I come from a place where some people devalue women," he told her. "But you are Tuatha. And where the Tuatha are from, women are princesses and queens and great ladies. I am a sailor, and my captain is a Tuatha lady. She is the greatest captain on the sea."

Re: Oodle-lolly, oodle-lolly, golly what a day,24 Duman, evening Umar smiled in spite of himself. "Yes, yes, you are both, you see," he answered. "Bandit queen is your occupation. Tuatha is your race." He turned his head to show his ears. "You see how my ears are round and flat, and yours are angled and pointed? That is because I am human, and you are Tuatha."
