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. "Thank you." Rith replied softly. "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?" Oirdz looked at Silver for a moment incredulously, then cut it. "... Well, Like that I guess. You expect people to just look at you and not only accept you as you are, but expect them to only have good notions about you? Do you get out much?" Despite his words he said it in a rather non-volatile fashion, as if consoling. |

If she actually feared me would she have spoken to me like that? Or was she just being cruel?" |

"You'll find quite a few people like that. Not all but some. Just find a way to handle it." |

"To be frank, she was just being cruel." Oirdz said this flatly. "You'll find quite a few people like that. Not all but some. Just find a way to handle it." "Thank you. Both of you." Silver said, and then went silent. She glanced at others on the transport, looking for anyone who had taken notice of her or the situation. Rith touched Oirdz through the cloak, leaning in to whisper to him. "I love your laugh." |

Rith touched Oirdz through the cloak, leaning in to whisper to him. "I love your laugh." She seemed to catch him off guard, or at least not paying attention, for he gave a slight jump. "Oh- ah, ha ha, well, thank you." He wasn't sure whether to be proud or embarrassed and it showed. |

Silver continued studying the Trallyr while Rith surprised herself with how sweet-sounding of a giggly noise she emitted. |

Silver continued studying the Trallyr while Rith surprised herself with how sweet-sounding of a giggly noise she emitted. There was a decent array of trallyr in the transport. Besides the rude lady, there was a group of three stronger, shorter looking Trallyr that seemed to be together since they all looked tired and soot-stained. One had some headfeathers singed. There was an elderly trallyr and their older daughter chatting up front, and another trio of trallyr with a small kennel-like box that small gurgling noises came out of. One young-ish looking trallyr was napping. |

"What kind of animal do you have in here? Is it a pet?" |

"What kind of animal do you have in here? Is it a pet?" The one holding the kennel gave Silver a look, but seemed to give a brief pause to adjust his speaking. "Oh, this? It is a form of pet, yes." He opened the door to show her even as her face was quite close to the thing. Inside was a small... slug-like creature with shapeless appendages and a beak. It was now face-to-face with Silver and made a gurgling noise. "It's an Eoi slug. Good eating and good keeping, yes. Would you like to buy it, ma'am? Not fair to visit and not try our national food, yes?" (Creature on top right)  |

The trallyr gave a clicking noise. the meaning uncertain. "Ah, yer' loss, ma'am." |

"It is." she pet the slug. "But maybe I can still cook it! How do you prepare an Eoi slug? My friends can eat it!" she gestured in Rith and Oirdz's direction. |

"Well, I recommend taking it to someone who can cook it well, see/ there's plenty of places that'll cook what you bring 'em discount" He gave the two a glance but cared more about selling. Oirdz was looking over at the transaction. |
