Tiaholt felt his eyes on her and for instant that familiar feeling returned when she had first met him. What was it? She didn't know. Maybe it was better off that way. She continued her work in silence. Ignoring the feeling with Veran for now.
She sighed and muttered something on lines of liking the way Veran used his knife on her. It was barely audible. After that, she remained quiet.

Veran looked at her, "Are you really trying to figure out this test or do you need me to spill it for you? But if I tell you he might not agree to your find. He might just kill you after."

She narrowed her eyes at him once again and got up inches way from his face. She felt the lust build inside. It was only when she was close to him. "I'm not stupid, old man!" Her breath got faster and the rise and fall of her chest as well. She took in his scent and shivered. She looked away and the lust subsided. "I may or may not pass this test but being end result as death, I don't think I'll die just yet. Mark my words, Varen! I -will- be a part of this Family! I might be fooling you!" it was her over confidence and arrogance talking.
"You think I am slow and dumb. I am not. Rather the opposite. See I may be no good in the kitchen but out in the field I am a sight to see. With the correct training, I can accomplish anything."
She showed Varen what she meant. She started to cut the vegetables again and did so in such a fashion that her hands were unscathed. In blinding speed, she chopped the vegetables, the onions and tubers. She then cut up the bovine meat in odd shapes and put them in the pot using a measuring cup. Then she threw the knife upwards and caught the blade by her teeth. She grinned at Veran. She sheathed the knife in its wooden block.
She took a rag and moved around in silence. She was limber and so agile. She wiped down the tables and underneath. She flatted herself when she wiped the top and bottom.
"Now, what were you saying about my death? I understand more than know, sir. Just be careful of who you you threaten. You just might get a knife in your throat!" She took her knife and threw it and killed a VTOL clear across the room and it stuck in the wood framing. With a twisted smile, she walked walked passed him, got her knife. "Oh, I have killed before and can and will do it again." she whispered in his ear. "What do you think for me, now?" she licked his ear and nipped it and left.

Veran watched her. He wasn't impressed. He wanted to laugh but held himself back. He knew she thought she was smart but she really wasn't. He wanted to tell her that she didn't think she figured anything out but now he was tired of her. He liked the tease but he wanted to watch. He smiled and was tempted to show her just what he could do but let her walk.

Tia more or less knew she didn't impress him. She came back in with a load of dishes and closed the door behind her. She washed the dishes quickly and then put them up. Now showing off, just got it done.
"You must think me a real piece of work, don't you?" she said as she reached up and as she reached, her tunic went upward showing her flat torso for the most part. It had always did that. She didn't particilarly like it, especially with Veran in the room. He was the kind of man that was unpredictable. The kind that needs to be watched all the time. "I knew you were unimpressed with what I did and I'm sure you are going more and more bored with me, just standing there like a sharding bump on a log!"
"Look at you, your growing moss where you stand! Nothing effects you. Pitiful." She wanted him to do something to her. "Am I not exciting enough for you? Do I not try over and over to please you?" She was careful not to break any dishes. "I bet you won't even eat that stuff I cooked. Look, Veran. Just because I a woman, doesn't mean I can't hold my own. I have been on the streets since I was 11 Turns old and now, your here basically telling me that I don't understand!
Admin's Note:[/hr] I -know- what's going on here. I'm new...cut me some slack here. You can't expect.....no I take that back! You expect perfection. In every sense of the word! Especially the new recruits. You like to -tease- them about how He will wants to kill them if they don't measure up. You like to torture them with the knowledge the you are some bad arse and frankly, I....don't....give....a shells what you think of me. You wanna laugh, go ahead an see what happened to you. I have been laughed at my whole life, you won't be any different. All I hear and all words and no action in this place. I'm not taking the lead, but even a beginner would know that words alone won't mean anything." Her eyes were like fire. She was being attacked or so she thought. "I -know- you don't like me and I -know- you don't care for me." she shook her head and a tear came down her cheek which she let go. "I am tired of you beating me down like a blasted dead Runner. I -am- not dead. I am very much alive and I plan to -stay- that way unless you want to kill me now and get it over with! Here, I'll even help you."
She approached him and took his knife and put it in his hand. She moved her tunic so that just about her chest was showing. She put his hand with the knife on he supple skin to her throat.
"You want me dead? Do it. I'd rather be dead then be half-alive!!"

Veran looked at her throat and a notion came over him. He wanted to cut her. HE wanted to see her blood. He wanted to enjoy the tear of flesh as he used his knife. He wanted her screams of pain. Begging for mercy. A twisted smile came to his face as a look of pure joy went into his eyes. But before he could strike by pressing into her A large hand grabbed onto his wrist and swung him against the wall. The knife left his hand and Konta pressed in on him. His large arm barring his chest. Veran didn't look away from her as he began to strike at Konta, trying to break free to attack Tia.
Rogin strolled into the room ignoring the two men. "Don't tempt Veran. It isn't nice. He would want nothing more then to spill your blood. Or anyones for the matter. That is why I like him. He will do what pleases him. But even more so he listens to me. Do you know what you have almost done?" he asked. His tone as soft as always. Not condicending. Just questioning. "He is a man that loves to inflict pain and anguish onto people. Maybe before you act you should think. He is right. You will not pass this test. You do not have the brains to become one of my Family members. You think too straight lined. He tried to help, even though I forbidden everyone that has passed the test to speak about it to the new recruits. Now what will you do?" he asked.

"If you won't help me, who will? Myself?" She scoffed. "You know how I handled that.....rather poorly. I am looking for a leader of sorts who could give me at least -some- direction and I thought you were on the few that would give me another chance. Seeing I'm not wanted anywhere. I'm not going to beg, Rogin. You don't want me here, neither does Varen or Konta. I guess my first mistake was talking, huh?" She said. "I kill what I want I am bound and determined to make it...I want that revenge. Plain and simple and if you can't give that to me.....well......I guess I will leave you. Find a way to attack again. Here I thought The Black Thorns were a Family." She sighed. "I could wind up dead somewhere.....but you don't care, nobody does. Good bye."
She gatheres her things and started to leave.
"Oh, and Veran? I liked you so much more than you thought." She planted a kiss on his lips, deeply. "Even though you didn't."

Rogin listened to her speech. He watched her. "I never said you had to leave. But you must learn. That is the point of this. I need to know that you can learn. That you can think for yourself. But not once have you tried. not once have you tried to be one of us. This is a family and we would have cared if anythign happened to you. Even if you didn't believe it. AS for Veran you must forgive him. The last girl he had an interest in left him for someone else at the gather."
Veran stood still and began to breath softly. He was trying to calm down.

Tiaholt felt like a heel. She wanted to cower down and hide somewhere but she didn't. She knew Rogin would find her. She silently nooded her head. She approached Veran again this time more causiously.
"My uncle gave me this a long time ago. I shall sever all ties with my previous life to be with you. I apologize to you. I didn't mean to egg you on. I want you to have it. I just didn't know how dangerous you were until now. I won't ever do that again." She left an exquisite arm band in front of him at his feet. It was made of Bovine leather with silver stitching of two hooven animals. It was stained red and black. "It was when we went hunting together. " Then backed up. "I am sorry about your last girl. I will not leave, not ever. My father......he meant the world to me and when that was taken away, I lost it." She was telling the truth. "You do still have my interest, if you want it. You mean the world to me. All of you do. I am not laughing. I will stay. I find it hard to smile anymore. I found my father in pieces strewn across Pern. Someone did this, Rogin and they showed no mercy while doing it. No more games, no more playing." Tiaholt was on the verge of tears. This was not an act. It was real. It was raw emotion. It was a rare occasion that she was like this. "Please forgive me, sir. I did you wrong. Please allow me to fix. There is a boy in my life. It's Boop, my canine. If you don't mind sharing my life with a canine then I'm all yours."
Tiaholt was afriad to touch Veran. "I will not touch you unless you want to be."
"You will see, handsome. I will not leave here. I will not leave you or this family. I will admit I thought it was all fun and games but now....now I -know- that it isn't. I will learn if you will teach me."

Veran didn't know what to say so he didn't say anything. He looked at this girl and was stunned. Rogin smiled and walked closer to her. "If you wish to learn then do so. You must still pass this initiation. All before you have done it and you are no exception. Learn. Then you will be taught."

"Yes, father." She passed Veran and looked at him with compassion. "I have never had a real family before, not one who cared anyway. I am more than meets the eye, Veran. I meant what I said, every word of it."Then turned to Rogin. "I have other things that would help in making swords and that, jewlry, metal sculptures...I don't want anything to remind my of previous life. I have a family now, -this- is my family....my home and I will defend its honor if need be and all who is in it...yes, including Spike."
She felt a pride that wasn't there before and a sense of willingness to help out. "You can have all my metals to melt down into scap. That will be my contribution for now." She walked ways for a few moments and returned with a medium sack full of jewelry and metal stuff and she put it at Konta's feet. "Careful, big guy...it pretty heavy." she warned.
"I look up to you, Rogin as a father. All I ask is you not treat me any different."

Rogin chuckled. "And why would I treat you different. You are only a drudge. And drudges here dont get the best of treatment. Expecially the female kind." Rogin gave a twisted grin. "Now get back to work. Konta will take these to where they need to be." Konta lifted the bag without a problem and left the room. Rogin was soon after. Only Veran remained in the room with her. He still didn't know what to make of what happened. He looked at Tia and then left.

Tiaholt sighed and got back to work. Even though, she did egged Veran on and he almost killed her. She felt safe with him. She didn't ignore him but she didn't speak to him.
Rogin was right. She had to learn and think for herself. In silence, she checked the food. She didn't show off anymore. She was serious about one thing. He would give her life to protect the Family and honor what it stood for.
She saw this as a challenge to be contstant and she liked being challenged. Veran almost killing her was punishment enough. She really didn't want to die. She looked at him and was deeply ashamed of what just happened. She thought it might be a good idea to wait until he had time to cool off.

Veran left the room and tried to cool off. He took out a piece or wood adn a knife and began to carve. He tried to calm down as best he could.
