I went out on my own, past the last houses of the village facing the Sun east. First with firm steps and then each step began to sink as the road turned into sand.
Then with the sun and the village on my back, my rhythm didn't slow. At night, it was easier to keep walking until I woke up surrounded by a Caravan.
A young couple, smiling, gave me water and kindly invited me to their tent. Both were toned and tanned by the Caravan life and had their hair at about the same shoulder length. Their youth shinned covering any doubt as if they were attractive or not.
Between twinkling eyes, they tried to explain to me in their language that I was to wash with the special leaves they handed me. They saw I did not get signaled for me to undress.
I dropped my clothes. All except my underwear, of course. This they did not understand and as they signaled for me to undress fully, she lost her temper and pulled them down in one swoop.
This is when they introduced themselves as Kayla and Kun.
Both looked at me before my complete nakedness, now they looked at me again. Meanwhile they gave me this strange and thick leaves and explained how to clean my skin. I had to crush them for their liquid.
They seemed to smile at each other with as if a game between them. Kun went out to look for my new clothes and she crushed leaves on my back. At this point, she indicated for me to was well between my legs.
