She eyed all of them, taking note of which ones she wished to talk to while also listening to the rules. Those should all be simple enough to follow. Before she knew what was really happening there was a feast in front of them, impressive. She slowly began gathering some food of her own as the tiefling woman who squeezed in shortly after her and Rodrick insisted that they all introduced themselves. She decided to allow others to do so first, examining each character instead. The strange fox girl introduced herself in broken common as Selena and then the two white haired people next to her. She didn’t pay them much mind until something caught her completely off guard. A language familiar to her, yet also almost a stranger to her in the years she’d gone not hearing it rang in her ears. Her head whipped to Selena, staring at her in stunned silence for a moment. [color=7ce7d3][i]”H-how do you know this language?”[/i][/color] She finally asked the girl, speaking in her native tongue for the first time in many years. Selena’s ears twitched towards Lorelei when she spoke up. She reddened slightly and bowed her head quickly in apology. [color=FF3AD9] [i]”Forgive me… I learned it when I was a little kit. For whenever a Siren would visit our home.” [/i][/color] She said fluently. [color=FF3AD9][i]”I admit it has been a while… But I recognize you were a Siren from your characteristics… It’s hard not to with that vibrant beautiful hair color.”[/i] [/color] She said with a smile and a cock of her head. Her tail up and swaying gently behind her. She felt at ease speaking a tongue she learned when she was little. Fond memories of the few times she was allowed to leave the Shrine, and travel to the small island they designated for the Sirens rest and stay on. Lorelei blinked at the girl as a memory was unlocked in her mind, something she’d forgotten long ago. For a brief moment she felt tears well in her eyes, but she shoved them back down as she let out a small laugh. [color=7ce7d3][i]”Please don’t apologize, I just wasn’t expecting it. It brings my heart joy to hear my language again. My mother had always spoken highly of the Kitsune, I feel lucky to finally meet one.”[/i][/color] Her mother’s voice rang in her head and something inside her cracked a little, a brief moment of sadness filling her eyes. [color=7ce7d3]”I’m Lorelei, it’s truly a pleasure to meet you.”[/color] She switched back to the common tongue so she didn’t have to introduce herself twice, but she was giving Selena a genuine smile. Selena started to panic when she saw tears well up in the siren’s eyes. Did she say something wrong? Was she not supposed to speak in this tongue? But it quickly went away and she breathed a sigh of relief when the girl laughed and spoke up again. Her tail swayed more as she felt warm that she brought joy to this girl, without even meaning to. She was pleased to hear that her mother spoke highly of her people. Thankful for that knowledge. When she then switched back to the common tongue and introduced herself. She smiled brightly. She knew what she wanted to say, but the words were lost to her for a moment. She looked to Finn who was busy talking to the dwarf next to him, then back to Lorelei. But then she suddenly remembered. [color=FF3AD9]” Please...thank you. The pl--- pleasure is me?… mine![/color] She said, her skin turning as pink as her hair. She remembered Finn saying something like that before. She hoped she said it right.
