Ahmaht laughed. "Meryt is a term we use for women in Ahketa. It means many things, but know it shows that I have respect for you. It would be like me saying 'my lady' or 'ma'am'. I prefer meryt. It seems more meaningful to me."<br/>He laughed again as they were all pulled together in the sheet. Ahmaht pulled his arms free, so they weren't pushing against either of the women. The blond one kept trying to push him, probably uncomfortable being so close to a stranger. He patted her on the head. "No need to fret<span style="font-style: italic">meryt</span>." he said, grabbing the edge of the sheet behind him and tearing it, so there was more space. He shot an amused look at the knight before laughing again at the situation. "You are a shy one." he said to the blond girl, a smile playing about his lips.
