Ark winces as the owl completely mangles her name.
"Apologies. I am from a forest without a name, because though there are many forests, it is the only forest. You understand? We know that strangers have titles and named houses and kingdoms, but we do not have these things. I know that going from here to the place I met the Prince, one crosses to an 'other side', and that from there to my home, one crosses to another 'other side', such that between here and my home there may be only one side. But the distances are so many - there is no other way to say it."
The polar bear tosses her head.
"I cannot tell you what faction I come from because the bands we live in have no names. All are kin to each other. And if you must say 'Ark'Ka'tat'akilla from the forest whence she came, of the family of herself', you may. But I think it will be very silly."
She doesn't mean them (much) ill will. Language is difficult.
