Bequa stayed with Sashegh and Vavana all morning and afternoon. Finally Vavana excused herself and went off to look for Nanong.
When Vavana was gone, Bequa asked, "Is it true you have not had relations with anyone yet Sashegh?"
"Yes it is true," Sashegh said, blushing.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"It seems like it is all I do think about these days. There's a young man at home on Maginaugh. His name is Fennsen. I think about him all the time."
"Have you ever kissed anyone?"
"Yes of course. I have kissed some of the boys back home. I even let some touch my breasts. I know other girls done more and I think some have intercourse. The guys at home are careful around me because I'm the queen's daughter. They don't press their advances on me like they do with the other young women."
"What about the women? Do you like any of them? Have you ever thought about kissing one?"
Sashegh looked down at her feet and said, "No."
"Look at me carefully Sashegh. Look at my face and the curve of my neck. Look at my breasts and my legs. Do you find me attractive at all?"
Sashegh nodded. "Yes Bequa. I wish my breasts were as big as yours. Mine don't seem to be developing anymore."
Bequa chuckled "You're beautiful Sashegh. Your face has such fine features. Your eyes sparkle. I love the way your nose tilts up at the end. Your hair is so long and lovely. Your body is slim and nicely curved and you have the cutest bottom."
Sashegh blushed scarlet. "Bequa stop please. You're really embarrassing me now."
Bequa pouted her lips. "Look at my lips Sashegh. Imagine them touching yours."
She stuck her tongue out. "Imagine my tongue playing with yours as we kiss."
Sashegh did think about it and she started to think it wasn't such a bad idea.
"Just one short kiss, Sashegh. I can teach you how to be the best kisser on Maginaugh."
Sashegh didn't say anything but kept staring at Bequa's lips and unconsciously licked her own.
Sashegh realized too late Bequa might take this as a sign she was willing. Bequa leaned over and brushed Sashegh's lips lightly, just slipping in the tip of her tongue. Sashegh's eyes widened but she didn't pull away. It felt good!
As Bequa broke the kiss first. "Did you like that?"
Sashegh nodded, blushing again. "Yes, it was nice."
"I liked it too. Would you like more?"
Sashegh shook her head. "Thank you, but I do not think so. Please don't be upset. I like you as a friend but I don't think I would like my first experience to be with a girl. My thoughts of such things are all about Fennsen."
"I understand. But I notice you said your first experience. I think you might enjoy relations with both men and women. Some girls do. My friend Nammi likes both. Have you met her? You would like her."
"No I haven't. I thought I had met everyone in the village by now but I haven't met her."
Bequa laughed heartily. "Oh, you have not even come close to meeting everyone. There are over a thousand of us here. The tents are scattered throughout the nearby forest. Come, I will take you to Nammi."
She took Sashegh's hand and led her toward Nammi's tent.

Sashegh watched the men make new birch bark canoes and repair damaged ones. Sometimes she saw Fewallo work with them. They taught him how to make new bows and arrows, flint arrowheads, and flint knives. My brother is becoming a Pewa, she thought. She saw some of the women making new deerskin clothing and new tents from hides. She wondered what she would look like in deerskin.
The Pewas were skilled at making small fires that would burn all night and give off some warmth. Vavana made one in the middle of their tent every night. The smoke escaped through a small opening at the top of the tent. Sashegh lay close to the fire, covered in bearskins, and slept in comfort through the bitter cold nights. Often their tent door would be covered in snow in the morning and she would have to dig her way out to relieve her bladder.
During the long winter evening hours, Sashegh enjoyed participating in Pewa entertainment consisting of music, dancing, and storytelling. She loved listening to them play their flutes and drums made from wood and deerskin. Some would sing along while others played songs on their flutes. They would chant and dance to the beat of the deerskin drums. She noticed during these events that many of the Pewas her age also entertained themselves by flirting and kissing. She found herself spending a good many of her waking hours these days thinking about such things.
Sashegh knew Bequa often slept with Nammi. Bequa still lived with her parents but told Sashegh they knew of her preference for girls and didn't mind her having female guests overnight. Sashegh knew Nammi also liked men. She heard Nammi had a suitor named Neolin who courted her. On the nights Nammi was with him, Bequa would seek out Sashegh and flirt with her.
Then one day Bequa introduced Sashegh to Nammi and everything changed in Sashegh's life. When she met Nammi she felt her pulse quicken, thinking, Nammi is beautiful. Her hair is black, soft, and shiny. Her body is curved delightfully in all the right places. Her eyes sparkle with light and laughter, reflecting an inner joy that seems to burn within her like a fire.
When Nammi spoke to her, Sashegh felt a strong connection take place between them, as if she knew all Nammi felt and all she was thinking. She felt Nammi could see into her soul and it was almost embarrassing. Sashegh was not sure what this feeling was she was having about Nammi, but it was strong, whatever it was.
Sashegh saw how Nammi was looking at her. She looked down at her own body self-consciously, thinking, I am glad I wore a short skirt today. I like the way she is looking at my legs. My breasts are still small and will probably always be small. She found herself hoping Nammi liked the way she looked.
Sashegh didn't see much of Nammi after that first meeting, but she did see a lot of Bequa. They often chatted late into the night. Bequa would always flirt with her. She would touch her often, laying a hand on her arm or her thigh as she talked to her. Sashegh didn't want her first relationship to be with a woman and always pushed Bequa's hands away firmly. She thought, I have steamy daydream fantasies a lot but it is always with a man. In my fantasies, it is always Fennsen lying naked on top of me, his legs between my thighs, entering me as Vavana told me men do when making love to a woman.
Then one day after dreaming about him all night, waking to feel a wetness between her legs, Sashegh was amazed to see Fennsen stumble into the village with Nanong. It was obvious he had not eaten or slept in days. He looked terrible, but at least he was not injured.
She threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly and then, without planning it, she was kissing him passionately. Fennsen was too weak to resist and she felt him respond to her.
"Fennsen, it is so good to see you again," she said, after the kiss ended.
"It is good to see you too. I notice you're definitely not a little girl anymore. You're even prettier than I remember. You're truly beautiful."
Suddenly feeling shy, Sashegh deflected the compliment by changing the subject. "You and Nanong both look exhausted."
