The Standing Dead - Stone Dance Of The Chameleon 02 - Plot & Excerpts
'Can't you see Carnie was only speaking for himself.' He turned to Carnelian. 'I appreciate the offer, but you don't understand. This is the Mother's work; something which men don't do, only women.' 'Nevertheless, I'll join you,' said Carnelian. He went over and gave Sil her baby. She looked from him to her husband, then back again. He sensed she had become aware of the feelings there were between them. Trying to hide his confusion, Carnelian pushed past Ravan, stepped over the rootbench and walked away. 'Carnie.' Carnelian turned to see Akaisha following him. He watched her approach. Her voice when she spoke was low and conspiratorial. 'If you're determined to work with the women, then tomorrow you should come with me down to the earthworks.' He smiled. 'Where I can cause you trouble as I did just now?' 'Don't you worry about Whin, she'll come round. The day after tomorrow it will be the turn of our hearth to work under the Bloodwood Tree. Tomorrow, the women there will be under the authority of Ginkga.' 'She voted for my death?' Akaisha nodded.
