He introduced the hare in a way she was both familiar with and unfamiliar with at the same time. He followed Sikyatavo — they all followed a creature, but she wondered how many remembered they were guided, not owning, of the animals. Her hand motioned to the forest, but she gave no words, for Mongwau wasn't present for her to display. The conversation continued on. She didn't mind, though the topic was unpleasant. The outsiders caused a smile to disappear on the face of the Councilman, head shaking from side to side. She listened to his words, but they didn't offer comfort.
"They just don't understand our way of life. They'll never be like we are. Even if they could manage to become real AniWayans..." Her voice dwindled as the thought faded. If they could become real AniWayans, then what? It wasn't as if she believed it could happen. She firmly believed the spirits did not treat them in the same way they treated those born to the Great Tribe. "...the Tribe would never truly be their family." It wasn't now. She wasn't. They were family only to those within this fragile, small off-shoot of the tribe.

"I apologize for how they've treated you -- you've done the right thing, they're just blinded by false allegiances." Even though she was Dawali's sister, and though she loved her brother as she loved the rest of her family, she didn't feel allegiance to him as a leader.
