Due to his upbringing, Jamie felt exactly the same way. Signed documents were never necessary because those who said what they meant always meant what they said. Then again, in his society those who broke verbal agreements with other people usually ended up as dinosaur food, so his society had a tendency to be exceptionally honest to a fault.<br/><br/>"Well, I thought that we had already shared our feelings about each other's sides and found that they were equally untrue, or at least gross generalizations. Would you prefer instead to think up a way that would help to convince both of our people that these things are not so, and in turn think up some way to help push them toward that change?"<br/><br/>Having paused for a moment, Jamie finally smiled and started to share a little more of that wisdom that they were always making warriors from his tribe memorize. "Change is never easy, no, but then again what would anything be if it were easy? The things that we receive freely and easily are the things that we cherish the least. We most value those things that we have had to work hard for and make sacrifices to acquire."<br/><br/>He then stopped as she mentioned a gathering, "How would we select people to come? I would prefer to have an open invitation for anyone who wished to come, but...we both know if we did that there would be a fight, wouldn't there be?" Jamie was envisioning things going very wrong if they gave it a try, even though he'd like to give it one very much.<br/><br/>"Had anyone else in your tribe mentioned this? Maybe, if we did it, I'd have to know more about your eating habits. I can imagine if we accidentally offended someone it could end up with someone getting their arm cut off or worse."
