"Thank you," Calia held up both her hands and carefully searched for Meesei's fingers and her ring. She did not pull it off, but she ran her fingers over the surface for a moment. At this proximity, Meesei could feel the subtle magic flowing through Calia's fingers in order to probe at the ring in more ways than touch, though it was easily identifiable as nothing that would harm the ring.

After a few moments, Calia let go of Meesei's hand and assumed a similar pose on her seat as she had when speaking with Ahnasha. "That is indeed no ordinary ring, Meesei. I would say that I am relieved to hear that I have not been lied to or spoken to by anyone deluded, but the implications are...not trivial." Calia smiled and exhaled through her nose in embarrassment. "But I am being rude. I need not be as much a concerned mother in front of you, Champion of Hircine." Calia held her head forward slightly. "Now, I am told you were the one who recovered Fendros in the forest. Could you perhaps recount those events to me? With whatever surrounding details are necessary. I like to hear it from the lizard's mouth, as it were."

Calia seemed almost too comfortable to let a racially insensitive turn of phrase slip her mouth. It was unclear in her expression if it was innocently accidental or deliberate.

"Shock? What do you mean?" Monderyn asked Ahnasha.

"He gets you," Rhazii held up one finger and poked Monderyn in the upper arm, clacking his tongue to imitate a small shocking arc.

Fendros, not wanting to frustrate Monderyn as before, gently took Rhazii's arm. "Not so rough, Rhazii," he said firmly.

Monderyn rubbed the prodded area, but did not seem surprised or disgusted this time.

"Wamasu's, when grown to a size, have the natural ability to arc a sort of magical lightning from their mouths," Fendros explained. "It can be dangerous, but Leaps is careful with it. We were once waylaid by highwaymen a while ago and Leaps shocked one of them in the back with more force than we had seen before. I suppose that's also like a dog; they can bite incredibly hard when attacking or threatened, but there are playful nips every now and then that aren't meant to do harm."

"Do you have a wamasu, too?" Rhazii asked Monderyn.

Monderyn raised his brow and shook his head. "I think I would have noticed by now, Rhazii. I do not."
