"N-New... Selvinia? Weird names." *Ro'Shan would say as the two continue to walk into the city. Hitoshi wasn't very fun to talk to Ro'Shan would find out... Atleast not as fun as Lillian was to talk to. Lilian would say alot of stuff and even tell him stories, sure most of them he really didn't understand at all but it was still very fun listening the weirds noises that come out of her mouth. When in Tunuaur whenever he walked the streets he heard alot of strange noises from all of them and he didn't understand what they mean but this one didn't seem to do that like the other do* "Why you not talk lots? Tunuar people talk lots. Lillian talk lots. You not talk lots." *He'd say to Hitoshi curious as to what the answer was. Any question that goes through his mind he would ask since if he knew more about the world he could better adapt. Knowledge was indeed power to him.*

"I not talk lots, yes. I not like talking much. Talking lots feel... Weird."

*Hitoshi has never been much of a talker. That's all there is to it, really.

What's the point of being an overly talkative asshole who never lets anyone else get a word in? Hitoshi prefers to just... Listen to everyone else's tales. It's nice to hear about what other people do. Besides, Hitoshi thinks, what is there to talk about from her?

Most of her life was fairly average. The extraordinary parts of her life are things no sane ~~man~~ woman would ever talk about! Hitoshi could go on and on about the enigmatic and oftentimes terrifying cast she had to interact with as a Salamander, or the drug trafficking she was involved in where she'd slit her tail open and hide vials of opium inside... Maybe even the service her thief group provided! Buying an alibi! For the price of 2 gold, they could source a handful of "Bar drunks" To claim that while that house was being robbed you were busy playing cards with them when you're apprehended!

Or... You can claim that you're just another young soul trying to get by in life, and that's all there is to it.

Hitoshi fiddles with her ponytail a bit, brushing the hair out of her face. Good Gods, this takes some getting used to. A lot of things have certainly changed. From the new chunks of tissue on her chest that shady men love to point out as she passes them by to the monthly emotional outbursts, Hitoshi has a newfound understanding of the pain of the female gender.

"Check out that foxy lady" Or some debatably imaginative variant was funny the first time. Now though, not so much. Or at all, really.*

"Do I not talk much now like you? Do New Silvania people not talk much too?" *He was wondering if everyone in this new city would be like Hitoshi. Would they all be just as soft spoken like her? Should he be like that aswell? Lilian had always told him that blending in would do him well but every time he goes into crowds with people they usually just stare at him and make weird sounds! Should he make weirds sounds aswell? Life outside of the forest seems so strange and complicated but in a way he's thought about everything like that so its not all that strange.

It also seemed like that woman is thinking about alot of things. What is she thinking of?* "Are you okay? Talk to me is okay." *He would say before putting his hand on her shoulder imitating how Lillian acted with him whenever he missed his tribe. He also thought alot about them and he could tell that this person was thinking about something and not by facial expression but by body language and just the way she was being very quiet*

"I think New Salvania people talk lots. Too lots. Makes my ears hurt."

"But you okay. You not... Racist, you not give me crap. You nice. You talk about my tail lots, but that not too bad. You okay."
Stanley
*Hitoshi responds to the comment on her introversion with another sigh and scratch of the back of her neck. Soft spoken, yeah. Most of the time, anyway. Arthur certainly thought of her as the most stoic of the three, and that's probably true. Arthur wasn't exactly a social butterfly either but of the three Hitoshi was by far the quietest of the bunch. Even now, Hitoshi's far quieter than Mevis, and usually he'd just let Mevis do the talking.

Mevis. That's a person Hitoshi hasn't seen in too long. A name that hasn't even entered her mind in a very, very long time. The last time they saw each other, things were... Different. For one, Hitoshi was... You know, **Male.** And they got into an argument Hitoshi never really put to rest. Shame on her, really. What kind of friend just lets someone as broken as Mevis feel the way he did? Hitoshi would've made a mental note to talk to Mevis again... But that might be a bit of a sticky situation. For more reasons than one.

Hitoshi would begin to flinch as a hand is placed on her shoulder, before gently prying it off, looking to the side with a guilty face. Yeah, there's a lot going on in Hitoshi's life that could be better. A **Lot.** Hitoshi, every night, pleads to the Gods above that these changes aren't permanent, that eventually she'll be free of her burdens... But somehow that seems a tad unlikely. For at least a few months, maybe even years, Hitoshi's going to have to bear the heavy burden on her chest. It's nothing that the steppe elf tribesman should burden himself with though, so Hitoshi smiles at him and tries to calm him down a bit.*
George
"Yes, I okay. I just..." *Hitoshi shrugs.*

"I don't know. Life. Nothing you should worry about. Hey, tell me where you from!"
Stanley
*Hitoshi opts to very quickly change the subject. Not only because the conversation is getting awkward to her, but because she really wants to know more about this odd elf. When Hitoshi thinks "Steppe Elf" She always thought of bandits, horse riders and the like. Horse **Archers.** Which makes it doubly interesting that this tribesman has never even heard of a bow in his life!*
