Sylvia blinked in surprise at Shortfang's first three words. She quietly listened to Shortfang as he spoke, and her question to his knowledge was answered. His mother. She remembered Skinwalker's words when they first met her and she had to admit, Skinwalker was very astute, it was actually impressive. She also noted that there may be value to Shortfang's stories if Skinwalker noted that she was like the people from this 'Meta'. 

She continued to listen to Shortfang as he spoke. She answered when he finished Shortfang, "Thank you, Shortfang," She then continued, "I think it may be...a while before I go home. Pylia and I are not just here to deliver the message to the Duke, but to also do some research here. So...while I am here, I want to use my newfound abilities to help wherever I can," She then looked to Pylia, and she sighed, speaking more to herself than to Shortfang, "Though...I think it may be a bit longer before we can get into that, because now, I have more questions about my own situation that need to be answered," 

She then clarified, speaking directly to Shortfang, "I'll explain once Pylia wakes up. She needs to hear what I have to say as well,"
