And as if you hadn't just told them you heard them doing so."You know, if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them," you say. "For example, in our heart-forms, manakete still have very good hearing."
Mary gives you an innocent look. "What do you mean, Mistress?" she asks as if she and the others hadn't just been talking about you behind your back.
Friends take time, and acquaintances can be frustrating, but you can always use more people who don't hate you just for being you are.As your new… friend? Acquaintance? Person who doesn't hate you just for being you?
Ah, yes, of course. Everyone here knows how much white manakete love the sun.Smiling, you lay back. "I actually like the sun," you say. "I know, that's more of a White manakete thing—"
This sounds like little more than a pinky promise. A pinky promise backed by the weight of tradition, but not one which will hold water if the Regent is the type to ignore inconvenient traditions (like the neutrality of the Marble Hall)."I see," the Archmage says slowly. "And if I should leave this Hall and travel to Wyrmrise, what guarantees do I have for my own safety? After all, I rejected a direct command from the Regent."
"You did so under the honest belief that you were acting legally and morally," the Voice says soothingly. "The Regent is not an unreasonable man: he understands that your loyalty is to the Hall and its traditions. He simply wishes to meet with you, so that you both, as rational men who wish to do the best for the Empire and humanity, might come to an understanding.

Speaking of meow:
[X] This will seem a strange route, but I assure you it will work. With the armies of the Empire on the march, travel in the Empire itself is too dangerous. However, before I became Archmage, I saved the life of a Feliceian, and I have maintained quiet but good relations with their tribe ever since. I'll teleport you to the border between our lands, cross the river and they'll find you fairly quickly. Ask for Moonwatcher Leaping-Grass, he'll get you to Cat's Cradle, and from there you can take ship anywhere you need to go. A roundabout route, to be sure, but certainly unexpected and unwatched.
Sounds interesting, the Imperials definitely won't expect it, and maybe we'll get to see how beast-stones tick.
