I smiled a bit sheepish when the two corrected me - of course, there were animal-eared folk (as we are called in some places) in many places. The chance for two foreigners to be Spiorad...
I bowed my head lightly at the introductions, but when they mentioned, that they knew someone, who might be kinsfolk, I was surprised. A resort on Aurora, huh? I have never been to the UIS, so...
"Indeed I am.", I replied to Ichigo, "I also travel a lot, we call people like me yisbryd teithio in Tafod, that is our language." I let a beat pass. "May I invite you to a cuppa tea? I am very curious about your kinsfolk, if you don't mind telling me a bit."
"A cup of hot tea sounds perfect for a couple'a chilled weary travelers as ourselves! You think so, Ichigo?"
"Yeah, tea sounds wonderful! And I'm sure there's plenty we could tell each other. Hikage especially loves to regale people with what it's like to sail the seas."
"Ahahaa, guilty as charged. And we had a long trip here too. We're newly weds ya know, on an adventure to see what is beyond our humble little island! So far we're loving what we're seeing."
