*Stirring slowly, langorously, I suck in a deep, relaxed breath and open my eyes, warm and snuggled in the furs with my Master and chain sister... Beneath the hand tucked near my face, I feel a pillow soft and silken, compliments of RAGNAR Clause -- and it reminds me that Papa's impish vixen-elf has some gift giving of her own to do... Slowly, so as not to disturb sleeping wagonmates, I creep from warm coverings....*
*Dressing in silence and tiptoeing from the wagon interior on booted feet, I scoot across the porch and down the steps -- then walk UNDER the wagon, to the front axle where a leather sack is tied securely to prevent it from dangling visibly....Reaching up for nimble fingers to undo the leather thongs that bind it there, even as the early morning chill causes me to hunch my shoulders, the sack soon tips off the axle and drops into waiting arms...*
*My first stop is the female slave wagon, where I pull a small, silken bag from the much larger sack and simply leave it upon the steps for the girls to find... Within the red, sparkling bag, sewn from my own worn-out dancing silks, are brand-new kooras to bind back their long tresses as they work... These, however, are special, each embroidered with three plains flowers at the top of the band, the center of each flower sparkling with a glass or metal sparkly plucked from those same worn-out dancing silks.... The sparklies make each koora just a bit different, and I hope each camp slave will find pleasure in her equal but slightly unique gift...*
*My dainty, leather-enclosed feet then take me to the thrall wagon, a small burlap sack tied with red and green ribbons left upon its step... Within are braided leather thongs upon which sleen teeth -- a male slave's equivalent of sparklies -- may be hung... Two of the strands of the braid are black, the third either red, yellow, green, or blue... I hope the burly boys won't fight over favorite colors; or, if they do, that I'm around to watch... A cheshire grin slinking 'bout my lips, I head off to the main fire....*
*There, the rest of my bundles are unloaded and placed carefully to one side while I smooth out the black leather sack in front of the fire, then drag a small white sitting fur alongside it.... Upon the white fur, its softness and purity designating it, in my mind, for the gifts of free women, I place bundles of dried flowers tied with either red or green ribbon.... The flowers, I had collected all summer and during migration, drying them in my slave trunk... Their colors, while faded, should lend beauty and a soft, sweet scent to winter-stale wagons.....*
*Finally, kneeling before the black leather, masculine and weathered, I arrange my small gifts for the men, the stark whiteness of small objects plainly visible upon their dark backdrop... One walking near to the fires would, upon closer inspection, identify those objects as bota corks made of bone or horn, some carved in an oval bearing the four horns symbol in bas relief, other ovals depicting a dancing slave girl, a rearing kaiila, or the shaggy head of a bosk... Each man hunts and herds, and now each will have a cork for his personal bota which serves as a canteen... *
*Pushing up to my feet and stepping back to eye the arrangements with a critical eye, I then nod and turn upon a swiftly planted heel, fleeing back to my Master's wagon with empty hands and light heart...*

And, later...
*My fingers a bit sore now, but my heart even lighter than before, I step from my Master's wagon to breathe deeply of the crisp afternoon air, pressing one hand to the small of my spine as I lean back into a much-needed stretch... A small sack of last-minute goodies dangles from my other hand -- personalized gifts for a few very special people....*
*I had left two gifts behind me, small items made with love and care to be found by my Master and chain sister when they return from their various daily tasks... For my Master, I had carved an intricate bota stopper indeed, heart-shaped rather than ovoid, the tiny scene carved in bas-relief depicting a man and a woman riding double upon a kaiila... I smile, thinking of Master and Mistress Sandy, certain that the carving's meaning will not be lost on my Master.... And for my chain sister, I had left behind a very special koora, its band embroidered with curling leaves and vines rather than flowers, the tips of some leaves glittering with clear stones to represent her namesake dew-drops....*
*Within my bag, now, are gifts for our Ubar and Ubara, and more personalized gifts for privately owned slaves....Humming a happy tune, I bound down Master's porch steps and skip my way to the fire to leave the goodies at the fireside furs of each owner before making a trip to Ubar's dias....*
*Stopping at my Master's fireside furs, I rummage within the bag and pull out the more personalized kooras within, letting the red strips dangle from my left hand as I make a circuit of the fireside furs, dropping the gifts as I come to the appropriate owner's furry seat... At Mistress Vala's fur, I leave a koora for cat which has sproingy little spirals sewn into the band, along with the outline of a pot and a pan... I have to chuckle as I walk off, thinking of cat's constant bounces, pounces, and pot-crashing wake-up calls....*
*At Mistress Amber's fur, I leave a koora embroidered with butterflies for sweet lure, a gentle smile tugging my lips as I think of my golden-haired sister... For ice, a koora embroidered with blue ice sickles glittering with palest blue sparklies is left upon Mistress Muse's furs... Master Terran's fur is but a half-step away, and for kadi I leave a red koora embroidered in pink and black hearts with sparklies of the same color decorating the edges of the shapes....*
*Then it is on to Mistress Kitria's furs, an impish grin spreading as I drop off a koora for kelsey... This one is not embroidered at all... Instead, tiny, glittery pink stones have been glued to form the letters of one very simple, very meaningful word: beast. Wicked laughter trails behind me as I skedaddle on to the next sitting fur...*
*At Master Strider's fur, a koora for lia which is embroidered with green vines and curling leaves, green sparklies setting off the design here and there -- perfect for Tuchuk's creeper... for mikia, I leave a band whose edge is embroidered with flames of yellow and orange to symbolize the fires Master Nicolas has brought back to life in her... For that strange, crazy, hot pheobe-girl, I drop off a koora embroidered with none other than the head and horns of Mr. Randy Verr, Esq., horns glittering with rhinestone sparklies, stern eye done in randy, ruddy red.... I walk off snickering as I contemplate the many ways feebs tortured talena with mention of that blasted verr, until poor, poor Randy met his demise at the hands of Master JEB...*
*While I am at Mistress Sid's furs, I drop off a special braided leather necklace for sweet ke'tharn, knowing the Mistress will see that he gets it... I did not want the other thralls to claim the black leather threaded with a strip of red, a special oval-shaped, carved bone pendant dangling from it which depicts the gauntlets of the fighting slave, etched in black.... *
*I make one last stop at the fireside furs, placing a koora to Master Necron's usual resting place, the red strip depicting shooting stars in gold and red... Truly, my solli-sis is a bright-shining star, her happiness and fire blazing for all to see... My hand is now empty, yet I survey the fireside one last time, making sure that all is in order... Nodding my satisfaction, I return to the almost-depleted sack upon my Master's own sitting fur....*
*Withdrawing final gifts for my Ubar Papa and Mistress Ubara, as well as for woobie, amore, chanz-ducky, talena-meanie, dreamy, and wylde, I cradle the lot to my full bosom as I approach Ubar's dias with the respect it is due... For my Ubar Papa, a bota cork carved in the likeness of BERAT, restored to his proud majesty after the rigors of last Spring's rutting; for Mistress Karanis, Paga-drinker extraordinaire, her own carved cork rather than a bouquet of dried flowers, the horn shaped to resemble her prized kaiila, IBet... (Truly, 'twas the bet that started it all, and look where my Ubar and Ubara are today!) Between their gifts, I place a koora for woobie, a rainbow loud and proud embroidered across the band....*
*Lastly, I leave kooras for the camp slaves dear and special to my heart, knowing that my Ubar Papa will see to it that they get their gifts, left here to prevent them from being taken on accident by the newer slaves ... Then again, few could doubt for whom most of these strips are intended... chanz's is embroidered with a bright yellow ducky, the beak outlined in orange sparklies....dreamy's bears the three moons and stars done in gold and silver... for amore, the outline of a mountain scene in white and purple, reminiscent of Torvaldsland ... for wylde, a panther prowling black and sinuous, wild as her name, its eye glittering with a single green gem... and for talena, the sister of my heart, she who has stood the test of time at my side, a buff-colored frevet embroidered upon the center of the band, to symbolize her mischievous, irrascable ways....*
*I take a long, satisfied breath... it had taken much planning, even more hoarding of discarded bone and horn and sparklies upon worn-out dancing silks, and still more long hours of using Seamstress and Carving skills honed while a free woman... but the gift-giving has been accomplished and carried out at last....*

~ Creepity creeping out of her rt hibernation the feebee girl quickly spies her gifty koora. A misty tear dones her sweet dark eyes as she bowed her head in reverence to the late great Randy Verr. He put up a valiant fight..all in the name of love and well torment for the slave her and sweet talena. With the red koora she normally wore cast aside the slave soon replaced it with the new one. The shimering red stone surely a beacon for all to see. Oohhhhhhhhh or maybe a flashing light for Masters to truly spy the phoebe~girl. Even the inventive slave she sauntered off singing softly ~
Randy the red nose verRrrrrrrrrr
Had a very shiney nose....
And if the Master's see it....
Feel free to make phoebe ain't wearing no cloOOOothes.
((~smooch~ thanks alot dee~mon. you are loved))

~azure eyes dance at the sight of such a breath taking koora~lifting it from the furs as a tapered finger traces over the delicate stiching of the embroidered butterflies upon the rich red colored cloth~peeking over to Master Krull's wagon as she holds it to her heart~slipping the plain koora from the flaxen mane and tying the new one in place~glancing to the faded strip left dangling from her hand~a soft smile forms as she tucks it away in the band of her leathers~lifting small hand up as the soft pads of finger tips make sure the beautiful gift was real~whispering into the light breeze.....thank you dee-mon...for such a thoughtfull heart warming gift
