It was good to see Ursalo was not offended, but also disconcerting to see<i>how</i>not offended he was; his eyes followed Jera was he left, and he had to be physically reminded to pay attention to what the prince was saying by Ranuk smacking him with one of his tails.  Clearly, the servant had made an impression.  Tam didn't know what to think of that.<br/><br/>He made an offhand, agreeable comment, his focus still elsewhere, while Ranuk rumbled something out; Ursalo made it sound like a good thing, whatever it was, but the prince didn't quite believe it.  Their chambers had to be very unlike what they were used to, just as Tam expected to find his future home to be alien to him.  "Ah, good..."<br/><br/>His dark eyes noticed Ranuk sign again, and this time it was harder to read-- or at least, he wasn't sure he was understanding them right.  There seemed to be a rude word in there somewhere, the whole series of gestures laced with a mild irritation, exactly like a tired parent.<br/><br/>Ursalo ignored it, whatever it was, and then promptly made a vague attempt at excusing himself before walking off in the same direction as Jera.  Tamlin raised his pale eyebrows, watching the demon leave; he couldn't, wouldn't demand him to stay, there was no reason to, but he was still worried about his friend, though perhaps he didn't need to be...<br/><br/>It left Ranuk and Tamlin alone, without a translator.  The prince was forced to finally meet Ranuk's gaze, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.  What should he say...?  He'd have to learn to talk with him, since they were going to be married...<br/><br/>"You use tradesign, yes?  I believe I saw you using it, to talk to your son..."  Soon to be Tamlin's son too, he supposed, but that was something to worry about later.  "I understand it enough, but I'm afraid I'm a little rusty..."  The prince didn't look away from Ranuk as he spoke, even though he wanted to.  He wanted to leave, wanted to be far away, but there was nothing useful in such wishing.<br/><br/>"I do not know any of the demonic language... and, forgive me if I'm wrong, it seems like perhaps you prefer not to speak elvish...  So we may talk in sign, if you wish."  Not that they had much to talk about-- or rather, too much.
