<div class="floatleft">Han Ming-Fu (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2318621)<br/>(https://i.gyazo.com/789772ede28173cb214f86fff115c5d3.jpg) (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2318621)</div>The battle having reached a point of cease-fire, Ming-Fu let herself breath normally and relaxed her heightened aggression from having been in dire combat, taking deep breaths while shifting her weight from side to side.  The meditative technique was effective, but brought her unfamiliar center of balance and weight distribution back to the forefront of her mind.<br/><br/>Suddenly conscious of the looks her new form had attracted, she chewed her lower lip while blushing a deep pink, noting with relief Lexara's displaying a sense of modesty as well.  Her hands dropped the improvised polearm she had been using, and drifted unconsciously to the classic "Venus" pose, one arm trying to cover her breasts, while the other tried to cover her sex.  Replying to Lexara's query in Draconic in the same tongue, she gave a wan smile.<br/><br/>"I happen to speak Draconic, yes.  It's the sacred language of my people, dating back for ages to the foundation of the Tien Empire.  My name is Han Ming-Fu.  You can call me Ming.  How may I address you?"<br/><br/>Khan's words were easily recognized as Common and so she shook her head, while trying to slouch her shoulders and shrink upon herself a bit, to hide her very female attributes from his rather candidly honest girl-gazing.<br/><br/>"I don't recognize the speech spoken by the Dark Elf either.  It must be some kind of dialect from another realm, maybe another plane.  But...  Is that fellow, the one you said was a dhampyr, will he be alright?  He took some nasty wounds."<br/><br/>Ming-Fu took a few steps closer to Zelthos out of concern, leaning down and reaching out with her strong hand to feel his temples and check his breathing, only realizing after the fact that she'd just bared her breasts in front of the males.  Coughing and flushing red, she resumed her pose of modesty.<br/><br/>When Kali spoke, Ming-Fu exhaled in relief, glad that another person shared the same knowledge of Common from Golorian.  She pursed her lips when the issue of communication was raised for Lexara and Lilliana.  Gesturing with an open hand towards Lexara, she interjected.<br/><br/>"I can speak with her in Draconic.  We have that tongue in common with each other.  My name is Han Ming-Fu, of Tien-Xia.  By what names are you two called?  And do you know our fallen compatriot's identity at all?"<br/><br/>Finally, she turned back towards the direction of the two canines standing on the far side of the chamber.  Starting in Draconic, then followed by each of the elemental tongues in turn, she asked them.<br/><br/><em>"You there!  We mean no harm or violence.  But we defended ourselves because you attacked us.  I'd prefer to make peace, and work towards finding out how we all got here, and where our belongings might be stashed away.  Can you understand any of the words I am speaking?"</em><br/>
