The curious child caused Fendros to smile. In such a small community, he probably didn't get to see so many races in one group. At first he stayed silent as he conversed with Ahnasha. He knew some Cyrodilic, which was interesting. When the boy was told that Fendros was a Dunmer, however, Fendros was at first quite shocked and a little saddened by his reaction. It had been so many years since slavery was outlawed, and even now the Argonian children were afraid of Dunmer. Sure, Fendros' parents did used to keep slaves, and a few months ago he would have been aloof at such a display, but he had changed over his time with the pack. By interacting with Meesei, Argonian communities, and even Ahnasha, he felt as if his opinion of beast races had changed, the attitude of Dunmer superiority was close to diminished. It wasn't until now that he properly realised that he had developed an empathy for beast races. By Ahnasha's shrug, it didn't appear as if she had the answer to this situation. Fendros thought perhaps he could calm the child down. He lowered himself to one knee and leaned such that his eyes were in line with the boy's, and craned his neck to one side to try and see him better. The boy just shuffled to hide behind Ahnasha even more at this. "Don't worry, I'm not here to take you. I promise. Dunmer are not allowed to do that anymore." Fendros smiled and spoke each of his words slowly and clearly so that the boy might understand better. Fendros fished around in his mind for the basic Jel phrases he had learned from Meesei. The pronunciation of hisses still made Fendros sound like he had an amusing lisp, perhaps the child might find it funny. [i]"My name ith Fendros. Whath ith your name?"[/i]
