Lion Head Mesa the tower

Eljay felt a little awkward when Pharaoh called Teya 'his Teya', but maybe it was just the way that wolves spoke out here. So far, it was clear to Eljay that they had a very different culture around here than what he was used to. He nodded quietly, not wanting to offend by questioning the choice of words.

A question was posed. Eljay had perhaps at times called food dinner, but he never knew it was a verb, too. Oh, uhm, sure — if you can spare it, of course, he said, even though it seemed that Pharaoh had already presumed the answer to be yes as he asked Belen to retrieve some food, alongside another wolf. Eljay moved to the skins that Pharaoh'd gestured towards, and he sat down, still feeling a little awkward with all of this strange luxury around him. The culture of Akashingo was so different from Brecheliant's. Although it wasn't his cup of tea, Eljay could understand why Teya might be drawn to it.

Eljay watched all of the food; it was a feast, to be sure. Since it had not been long since they'd faced famine in the Fen, Eljay felt a little dirty having so much food at his disposal now. They no longer needed it as badly at home, but still. Up until recently, this was unimaginable luxury. The caretaker waited for Pharaoh to eat first, though, understanding that he was but a guest and he should wait. He curiously watch the strange smelling pine liquor, though Eljay had no idea what it was. He almost missed that a question was being asked as he surveyed the food and halted his gaze on the last item in silent question, and looked up at Pharaoh quickly from his seated position on the furs, then nodded. Jawahir — that was the wolf who'd visited them to ask Lilitu if she was interested in.. Eljay wanted to say.. the Pharaoh's son, right? He didn't remember all the details right, but he did remember it, of course. It was the reason he was here.

Eljay nodded. Yeah, uhm, he tried to remember if Jawahir was a man or a woman, but drew up blank. It sounded male, he supposed?? He did visit us, yes, with your request. Rather hastily Eljay added, lest expectations would be created that he didn't want to set: Though I'm not here to discuss that right now.
