Tayui backed up, moving away so she could see the other without having to crane her neck as much. She glanced behind her quickly, ensuring that she did not bump into a tree or sit down on a snow-covered thorn bush, then glanced back at Scree. She sat down, feeling her body fall sink down in the snow a few centimetres before settling. She nodded in reply as the creature spoke again, wondering why she had never seen him before. If indeed he had lived with Fiacha and Mordulin, each, would he have not lived in Jaded Shadows for a time? Certainly, if he followed Mordulin, for she had been in Jaded Shadows most of her life, ever since she brought Shadowed Stars to Ashen Mountain. Of course, it did not matter when the bird had accompanied either of the wolves - she would not have recognized him either way. There were always crows and birds of death lurking about after a kill, and there was no way she would be able to pick out one from another.
Instead, she just nodded, smiling, still curious as to how it had worked. She wondered if he had seen Mordulin since she left the Shadows lands, if she was still alive, even. He spoke again, this time reverting to low-speech. It took he a minute to comprehend his words and then sort out what he was saying. She mouthed the sentence to herself, unsure of what one or two of the words were, but she was certain she understood most of what he had asked. "I learned it... from one who... lived with squirrels. He taught me," she replied in low-speech, attempting to find the appropriate words for the idea she was trying to convey. She had to resort to simple verbs and using extremely simply sentence structure, but if it meant she would be able to practise her low-speech, she did not mind in the least.
