Fish: You tell amusing tales, Rithivaland! Cap'n Rith: The funniest part is you don't realize I'm dead serious. Silver: Rith? This is Commander Anraw Oirdz. The zafara turned her green eyes on the newcomer. There was a moments' silence.Cap'n Rith: Wow. I always knew Big Bird was an alien. Assuming none present would get the joke, she stood and took off her hat, dropping it on Fish's head. The hair on top of her head appeared to be dyed a bright red. She smirked at Oirdz.Rith: Pleasure to meet ya, Commander. Oirdz: Just Oirdz is fine. I'm not your commander. You must be Rithivaland. Rith: I am, but just Rith is fine. So, what have you heard about me? I know nothing of you... You're not here to arrest me, are you? At the last question she looked ready to bolt. |

She seemed a little surprised at his manner. She replied with a smile.Rith: I am, but just Rith is fine. So, what have you heard about me? I know nothing of you... You're not here to arrest me, are you? At the last question she looked ready to bolt. Oirdz: Nothing thus far. Do I have reason to? Rith: No, of course not. Where I live, everything I do is perfectly legal. So.. tell me about yourself. |

He narrows his eyes.Oirdz: Nothing thus far. Do I have reason to? Rith: No, of course not. Where I live, everything I do is perfectly legal. So.. tell me about yourself. Oirdz: Hm. I know nothing of you. It is my custom to hear and then tell. |

She watched him carefully.Oirdz: Yes, but the situation seems to be you want to know who I am, while I have little need to know of you. While I may be curious as to your throat-tearing stories, you have more desire to know of me, and therefore I bargain with knowing of you, Rithivaland. |

Named Rithivaland. And I'm an outcast. |

Oirdz: I cast myself out because the society I am from wanted to use me as a figurehead to promote their own beliefs. .. How do you accidentally eat a being. |

She grinned lopsided at him.Rith: I was cast out because I ate a fully intelligent life form. But it really was an accident. Oirdz: I cast myself out because the society I am from wanted to use me as a figurehead to promote their own beliefs. .. How do you accidentally eat a being. Rith: Why'd they want you? Is it like the Irkens and their "Almighty Tallest" thing? And you can accidentally eat a being if they're served to you as soup by natives you're trying to get along with who regularly eat each other. |

My species likes to seperate out families by the saturation of their feathers. Before I acquired my profession. I was a eeiea. Or in your terms, An albino. |

Rith: And the less saturation, the better? Wow. That makes no sense. Oirdz: I realize I misspoke. It is based on 'lightness'. Vibrant feathers are prized, but the lighter the shade, the higher on the social scale you are nudged to become. That is why I have stained mine grey. |

And staining your feathers grey is a moral sin? |
