Rith took the seat next to him, and Silver sat on the ground between them. Silver looked around for other passengers eagerly while Rith kept her head down. A few other trallyr entered the transport, then all at once a large group of them, complete with small trallyr clinging to the backs of parents, entered and filled in a great deal of the seats just before the attendant came in behind them to close the door. Many were engrossed in talking or looking down at small screened devices on their wrists impatiently. One of the small Trallyr children looked right into Silver's soul unapologetically. Silver smiled and waved at the little one after looking the adults and their wrist devices over. |

Silver smiled and waved at the little one after looking the adults and their wrist devices over. The little one tilted it's head curiously. It was clear that the Adult Trallyr was trying very hard to keep and eye on the situation, not stare at Silver, and to look like neither was occuring. |

Silver stood up and walked over, presenting herself before the adult and speaking to them, hoping her translator worked right. "Hello. My name is Silver. The child accompanying you is very cute." |

The Lady trallyr looked down at Silver with a brow raised (as much as a trallyr can..) "Ah, thanks. Are you trying to buy it off of me?" She didn't sound amused, she mostly just sounded tired and bored. |

I guess you don't have to explain yourself." She's not even looking at Silver at this point, speaking aloofly as she stops her child from chewing on her feathers. |

Do I look like someone who does? What's their name? Species?" |

Silver looked fearful suddenly. "I don't sell or buy children. Do I look like someone who does? What's their name? Species?" Oirdz, choosing now to notice this exchange, nudges Rith. He mumbles to her, "I think your friend is getting too involved in a conversation." The Lady Trallyr gives Silver a look over that was clearly meant for Silver to see. "Well if you did, then you would look like someone who does, then wouldn't you?" |

"Well if you did, then you would look like someone who does, then wouldn't you?" "That doesn't even make sense." Silver responded, frowning. Rith looked up, already frowning. She had apparently been listening, and she stood up and strode over to stand beside Silver. She looked down her beak at the offending female Trallyr. "Silver, do not waste your time on this racist kossac and her spawn." |

The Offending Trallyr became quite poofy, reaching out to cover the ears of her child. She had her beak open but in pure indignation she could not make a noise. Oirdz, on the other hand, could not kelp but let out a sudden, croaking, guffaw. He actually had to hold his side for a moment or two to regain his composure. |

Silver sat on the floor beside her, sighing deeply and looking sad. |

Before any further quarreling could occur, the attendant to the shuttle came in and gave one of those monotonous safety talks and the transport got going. Oirdz, oddly enough, was still trying to not laugh. |

What if the child starts saying it?" |

What if the child starts saying it?" He tries really hard to not laugh more at the idea of the tiny child using that word, and gets a hold of himself. He speaks quietly still. "I'm sorry, oho that was just great to watch, that's all." Oirdz would not call himself a nice person, and it probably reflects here. |

"And if the child uses that word then they will only be telling more people about their parent." Silver sighed. "Why was she so mean to me? I thought I was the first Xweetok to visit these systems, how can she assume anything about my species?" |
