Thread: Free Hearts (Angelic and Ruphhausin)

Kathleen smiled at the Mayor of the town and walked over to him and the rather intimidatingly large Indian male that he was talking to. She had to admit that she had seen plenty of drawings and sketchings of the Indian males, but this one was quite different then any others she had seen. He was tall and well built with muscles and smooth dark skin that contrasted so well with her own pale skin. It looked so smooth to the touch and she found herself wondering what would it be like to run her delicate hand across the warmth of his bared skin. He also looked very noble and that was something she was correct in thinking because of the fact that Mr. Dobson just told her that he was the Powhatan of their tribe. That made much sense why he seemed to hold himself with such a noble air, but there was just something so knowing in those dark eyes that were almost like the dark night sky. She thought that was rather inappropriate of her to be thinking of such thoughts because surely a man like himself had a wife and children, so those thoughts were not appropriate for her to be thinking of. She nodded softly to the Powhatan with a warm smile before she looked at Mr. Dobson. I would be more than willing to help them learn our language, although I will confess, as much of a teacher as I am, Mr. Dobson, I do not know their language. I am afraid that is something that isn't in books as of yet and so it is quite impossible that I would know how to speak it. Kathleen paused slightly and leaned a tiny bit closer to Mr. Dobson as she whispered something to him. Although, I do not think that they know much English, if you want me to be frank because they have no reason to know our language. Our people haven't been on the best of terms with their own since we came to their land, Mr. Dobson. Kathleen thought he already knew that, but she thought in the interest of trying not to seem rude to the Indians, she didn't want him to completely think that they understood every word that he was saying. Which effectively was the reason why she hadn't exactly said hello to them properly because she was sure their knowledge on English was very limited. Kathleen had always wanted to learn more about the Indians, but she didn't know exactly how possible that was with her work schedule. She taught most days and the days that she wasn't teaching, she was stuck at her home or the schoolhouse grading papers and coming up with assignments and such things as most teachers were. As a teacher, she was always happy about learning new things and always excited about teaching those new things to her students. There were just so many things in the world that were out there to be discovered and she had only learned a very minuscule portion of that knowledge. That was another reason she was also so stuck in her books and reading to learn more information and teach all of that information to her students. Knowledge had always been something that she thought was rather powerful to have and she didn't think that there were many people that didn't want to go without knowledge of at least something in the world. Whether it was a knowledge of knitting or fighting, but most people had some kind of knowledge on certain topics and in a way, everyone had a chance to be a good teacher to others. Though, she had just decided to be one of those people to teach others the things that she knew and she knew that they would eventually need in their lives. There was no exception to this about how she wanted to learn about the Indians and their ways because surely there was something that they could learn from each other. She thought those that fought with the Indians were rather ridiculous because in all technicality this was their land to begin with. The English came over here and tried to take their land from the Indians when it really wasn't theirs to take and that was exactly how she felt about the situation. There were many things that she felt strongly on and this just happened to be one of those topics. She thought that the English had taken the land from the Indians and that they honestly really shouldn't be there, but the Indians were kind enough to allow them to be there. Kathleen knew that she would be sorely upset to see anything happen to the Indians, but she knew that things would not stay so smooth and peaceful for very long before conflict arouse between the Indians and English.
