Meeta had to force herself from tearing up. Despite never have been part of her mother's past culture for some reason she felt a real connection to the words Lani had blessed her with. As soon as Lani finished, Meeta said.
"Thank you."
Without warning, she gave Lani, a big hug that one would give to family. Once they're were done, they ate their last breakfast before getting ready. Before lunch Dakur came with some other servants and provided the two girls some new clothes, this time attire that sadly fit to their status. Coming out into the hallway, Meeta watched Lani being escorted away by Dakur, no doubt on their way to the nomad's current master.
Meeta let her fellow slave and friend see her make the same sign of blessing she made earlier, with her left fist closed into a fist and pressed to the heart.
Until we meet again. Meeta sliently thought with a heart of bittersweet emotions. She prayed their reunion would be on better terms.
