"...Molly, are you attempting to antagonize me?"<br/><br/>Rather than being teased, Jamie seemed blindsided. It was another element of his different upbringing; he really did act as though he were a tribal warrior in all things!<br/><br/>He then frowned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, children do get those things and they are swiftly corrected for it and taught that such emotions would be better applied toward practicing other things."<br/><br/>Having heard what she was saying about the invites, however, he was soon back up on his game so to speak and thinking. "Maybe there should be ten males and ten females? That way there would be an even number in each tournament...or do you think that there should be more? Maybe so many as twice as many...that would certainly make it very legitimate if someone were to be the best of twenty, would it not? Perhaps there could be some preliminary match in our own tribes to decide who gets in, which would make things appear to be even more legitimate as it were."<br/><br/>Jamie then tilted his head again as though he were signifying that he was listening to her. In his own tribe they would have passed a stick around to indicate that they were done with speaking, but this didn't ring true here it seemed.
