[Nexus]The Dancing Fox Inn IV: Strangely, More Wolves Than Foxes

[Lady Serpentine]

L'lanyaea nods thoughtfully, smiling a bit.

"Are all of the supervisors Arcanoloths?"

[Beans]

Yes, at least in the area I lived in.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Interesting... Do you know why that was?"

[Beans]

It's simply how the hierarchy worked, I suppose.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Ah. So daemons are organized on a racial caste system, then? What was above Arcanoloths?"

[Beans]

Ultroloths. They served as the regents of the area.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Hm... Is there any significance to the 'Loth' suffix?"

[Beans]

Daemons are also called yugoloths, and nearly every race of us is named with the "loth" suffix.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Does it mean anything, other than helping to differentiate you from non-daemons?"

[Beans]

"Does it mean anything, other than helping to differentiate you from non-daemons?"

No, not really...

[Lady Serpentine]

No, not really...

The mage is quiet for a bit, sipping her drink, before, apparently, getting yet another theory of some sort.


"Were Acranoloths particularly good at magic?"

[Beans]

She nods.
They were indeed.

[Lady Serpentine]

"So the first part of the species name refers to what they do, or some innate talent, then? Arcano for the mages, Execu for executives, Ultro for the rulers..."

[Beans]

That's about right, yes.

[Lady Serpentine]

"So what is Yugo related to?"

[Beans]

That I don't know, actually.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Do you know of anyone that might?"

[Beans]

Not really, no... She sips her drink.

[Zefir]

Since the woman has ended the small talk thing Fade is now free again. But since this place is well handeled he just goes to a table near the bar and waits.

[Lady Serpentine]

Not really, no... She sips her drink.

L'lanyaea is once more silent for a while, also sipping her drink, and apparently waiting to see if Carciza has anything to say without being questioned.

[Beans]

She stays quiet, still sipping.

[Lady Serpentine]

"You don't talk much, do you?", the summoner asks, smiling at her.

[Beans]

No, not usually. She shakes her head.

[Lady Serpentine]

"Is there any reason for that, or just that you prefer it?"

[Beans]

I don't talk very much unless I know the person especially well, I suppose.

[Lady Serpentine]

"That sounds like it would make a loop... How do you avoid that?"

[Beans]

I tend to get a little more relaxed once I've at least been around someone for a while.

[Lady Serpentine]

L'lanyaea nods.

"I can certainly see why you'd want to be at least a bit familiar with someone before relaxing around them."

[Beans]

Yes... though I feel significantly less uptight around you than around previous summoners. You're exceptionally pleasant.

[Lady Serpentine]

The war-mage grins.

"Thanks! You're quite nice yourself. And I'm glad that you're more comfortable here than you have been when you've been summoned before, though I wish your other summoners had been nice enough that you weren't, if that makes any sense."
