I LIVE!

She didn't know what she expected from the child, but it certainly wasn't the words that came out of her maw. Mercy blinked slowly, before a wide smile grew on her mouth. Dammit, these mini ones were starting to grow on her. She tried not to laugh when the girl wasn't able to quite say the word she was looking for, cause that would be rude. This girl had a lot of spunk, and it made her warm up to her right away. Plus she was a pretty little thing, there was no doubt that she was going to grow into a fine young woman. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the child dove for her front legs, hackles raising slightly from the sudden movement. It only took a few moments before she was shooting questions in her direction, and this time she did let out a small laugh. "It's a good thing I smell like Imperium, otherwise I would be trespassing," she started, trying to remember all her other questions. "I am a warrior, yes. But I have no idea who this man-who-smells-funny is. But if his servants come for you, we can beat them up, okay?" Mercy gave a firm nod of her head, dipping down and letting out a big growl and baring her teeth for show. Quickly pulling back up, she smiled fondly down at the child. "I'm Mercy, what's your name?"

"Speech"
