And so, with that in mind. She will make some concessions to Catherine. Only for Galmira to interrupt her impending speech. [color=fff200]"Miss Catherine. If I must address your concern regarding the Dragon's corpse."[/color] Galmira interjected. [color=fff200]"The Dragon's code also stated that one should bury their fellow dragons in a place befitting of their status as Dragons, and enlist the help of any persons with the ability to do so should they be unable to do the burying themselves. And that persons seems to be the people I flew in with, unless if you can lift that Dragon's corpse on your own, then I don't see any reason why you would object to that. Unless if you object to the code itself, on Dragon territory, after I've allowed you to loot that dead Dragon, as much as a bastard as he is, for parts for your experiments."[/color] Almira turned to Galmira, her face very concerned at what she says, before coughing up a little to break the tension. [color=1A9D60]"Uhhh, maybe I can allow Catherine to experiment on [i]some[/i] of our technology if that means you'd cooperate. I'm more than willing to lend you some... plants and other flora that we have on our ship. I also have an engineer, essentially a person responsible for making mechanical things work, if that is what you're also interested in that as well Miss Catherine."[/color] [color=1A9D60]"And to address the concerns that I don't see you as equals, please pay no mind to that. My people has a history of seeing each other as unequal, with disastrous consequences for everyone involved, and I will assure you that you would be provided good accommodations, food, and everything a human being needs. Please, I would like to gain your trust."[/color] She spoke in English at that part, and secretly hopes that the translator does it's job correctly. English is the defacto language of the Commonwealth for centuries at this point, and she hopes that there is no major mistranslation from the device.
