Men and Women

Rastaban learned to love roaming across the world with Rami and his soldiers. Sometimes he, Dravi, Khouri, and the other children would be left behind with the women so Rami and his men could raid for supplies. There would be mourning when some men failed to return, and Rastaban learned to be useful by helping dress wounds so he was out of the women’s way. Dravi, Rastaban saw, followed the women around and comforted them in their mourning. Rastaban also saw that, while Rami and his men praised Rastaban for his work, the women loved Dravi. The women were powerful.
