[/html]Tayui laughed when he explained how he’d come to speaking that way. It was a cross between a snicker and a good-hearted chortle, so it came out almost in a coughing way, but later turned into a genuine laugh. It took her a few tries before it actually sounded like a laugh, though, and she hoped he didn’t notice. She found it humorous because like Zalen, she had also done a lot of reading when books were easier to come by. She supposed it had impacted her diction, too – she’d spoken with such elegance before – well, before that. So naturally, she was amused to hear him voice a truth that applied to her, too.[/html]
When he decided to conclude their meeting, Tayui gave him a quick bow of her head in response. Yes, she would be a polite beast: she had resolved this of herself when she’d found out the terrible truth about her daughter and she would continue this promise now. She hadn’t made a good first impression, but she’d managed to somehow smooth it out. Perhaps this wolf could be patient for the both of them. She did not return his smile, but did hope her own gesture would satisfy him.
“Very well,” she replied evenly. “I shall find you soon, I hope. If you find anyone whom you think might fit our cause, and perhaps other causes like this one, take it upon yourself to interview them. Perhaps we’ll make ourselves a merry little band of savages.” Because, in the end, that was all they were. Despite Zalen’s obviously honest intentions, she was nothing more and he too would become one, like her.[html]
