Motto was just regaining his composure when the young girl stood before him with an unfamiliar item.  At her word, he accepted the bag and looked down at it while the tribe girl explained about some dishes.  She had a broken way of speaking but he was listening to her mood and tone more than her words.  He could tell it was meaningful.. whatever it was.<br/><br/><span style="color: #9C9C9C"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size: 115%; line-height: 116%;">“…Yahs an awful lik me Pa. Me's been told me's gots a brother. Meh thinks yah might be's 'em."</span></span></span></span><br/><br/>Had he heard correctly?  His mind tripped and fell as Motto stood there in the street with the tribe girl.  She knew his father?  He had a sister?  The information was so unexpected and intimate, that his first two attempts at speech resulted in mere grunts.  The gypsy’s shop door swung open, and the jangling bells snapped him out of it.<br/><br/><span style="color: #40BF00"><span style="font-weight: bold">“L-Loremaster said..to go to the meeting room.”</span></span>Even after clearing his throat half-way through, Motto’s voice still sounded hoarse.<span style="color: #00BF00"><span style="font-weight: bold">“Come on, miss.  You can tell me more after Loremaster’s meeting.”</span></span>Biting his lip, Motto moved to touch the girl’s arm before hastening into the pub where he spotted the princess of dragons.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://i.imgur.com/0mbpiS2.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>Grinning, he seated himself right next to the Loremaster; unaware that he completely blocked off the man whom she had been conversing with.  Although he strove to be polite, Motto was oblivious at times when it came to social etiquette and so it was with his new teacher.  The young hunter was far too close despite the fact that there was plenty of room for them to sit comfortably apart.  Motto said nothing, and  watched her intently; ready to memorize every word she said.  Until he forgot it, that is.
