A silly little smile formed on Mai's lips. She had learned several things during the time she had withdrawn to herself and to find Lance, most of her conclusions drawn only by thinking a little better about her mistakes. The comment about mages caused the woman to laugh for a genuine moment, speaking soon after. "That I have certainly learned. I can't count the number of times I've almost died because of people like that. I definitely hate mages." Her claws retracted leaving her feet and hands normal again. If he was going to attack her he would have already done so, and it often became uncomfortable over time.

*Terrel*. She would keep the name for now. She arched an eyebrow at the mention of another name, but one that wasn't there, or so she hadn't noticed. She was surprised to see the furrow being removed from within Terrel's pink hair, and moved a little closer to get a better look at it. "How cute. Doesn't it bother you to leave Tzu there?" She leaned back to where she was sitting, picking up one of the rocks she had brought and playing with it between her fingers.

"At first, maybe."*Terrel would say in answer of her question.*"Now I just forget he's there at times."*The bird would run along his hand, causing the Elf to move his fingers occasionally to make sure the bird didn't suddenly drop out of his hand. With Tzu eventually growing still once more, he would give the animal a light rub atop his head.*

"I suppose he deserves that much at least after I ended up killing his family and taking him away from his original home."*There would be a moments' pause, almost as if the Elf had just considered what he had said.*"You know thinking back to it, it may have been a lot more traumatizing for him. But he's doing okay at least. I think so anyways. Could be plotting his revenge in my hair for all I know."*He'd say with a chuckle.*

Mai watched the little creature venture into Terrel's hand, realizing how the relationship of the two worked. Once you start stopping to notice the details in anything, you can never stop. But this was really good, it made her happier. She had a smirk on her lips, lifting her knees a little higher in the air so that she could hug them and rest her head on top, continuing to look in the direction of the two of them.

Mai opened her mouth for a moment not knowing what to say after Terrel's comment, closing it again as she heard him continue to speak. "His story reminds me of someone else's, but the person had no one to give them *'pats.'*" She gave a little melancholic laugh soon after. "He definitely wants to kill you. He is just waiting for the right moment to act."
