She shook one hand clean of the fat and muscle that remained on the pelt. She had never been particularly kind to the young, and seemed to lack motherly facilities that made her desire any closeness with pups, but this sandy girl brought about vague curiosity from the older coyote. She had come to ask about language. And for what? To speak with a Spanish woman living in her home? Tlantli stared upward as she pondered the possibilities. "¿Qué debo hacer? Debo ayudarla, o se ha de acudir al lobo de distancia?" Giving Momotztli his moment to tell her, she thought over the possibilities. Spanish was not a language exclusive to Eterne, and this girl had not asked to be taught.
Finally, she returned her gaze to the child. "You wan'to know Spaneesh, to talk to some lady who lives in your home? Ess a silly reason to want to know." In her own home, people who lived in a house but were not relatives (usually), were slaves. She had never desired to talk to the slaves of her home, but perhaps this was another anomaly in the world that she couldn't understand. "Maybe she don' talk for good reasons." It wasn't a jab in the direction of the pup; she was certain that to other children, the sandy wolf was an interesting thing.
