    Summary

    There is a dollop of something on her tongue. Voyne rolls it this way and that way in her mouth, trying to distinguish flavor from the rest of the lean meat she had already chewed. It tastes neither sweet nor overly bitter. Not earthy but not not earthy. Natural. Something from the body. Something that belongs to the body. To the Constant Lady’s body. Voyne rubs her tongue against the roof of her mouth and tries to remember what it last touched.

    “I told you that your loyalty would be rewarded,” the Constant Lady tells her.

    Voyne wonders from what well she draws. The rings of her eyes, too many colors to name, seem to spin as the Constant Lady examines Voyne. The stone underneath her is hard on her knees, but she feels only the softness of dirt and grass. She imagines the gardens now overflowing with enough to feed them, to sate them, and the meat. The meat which glistens off the bone. The meat that the Constantly Lady settled onto Voyne’s tongue. She offers no meat now, merely watching Voyne expectantly, and Voyne has forgotten where she had come from and why she is here and what her reward is meant to be.
