after all [Ashmedai]

The woman said the plankton might breed. Her accent was rough, but growing up in Imperium had made him all but immune to mean remarks- intended or not.

"In the east?" Ashemdai repeated. He had never seen them there before. When she was young? Just how old was this woman?

In response to him saying there was a pack in the area, the woman asked if it was Glaciem. "Um- no," Ashmedai answered a little too quickly. He hadn't meant to, but really, this Galciem probably didn't have anything on Yfir. "I meant Yfir. Like everyone there seemed just as tall if not taller than me. Brute strength and mountains and all of that."

Apparently she was here because her family spent time in cold places. Okay, Ash didn't really have a response to that. He nodded, "I didn't really stick to where my family stuck I guess."

He had forgotten. Again.

"By the way, I'm Ashmedai. If you wanna give a name, you can. If not- I dunno, some people are picky about it- it's fine too. You Said your family lived in cold places? Did they run Glaciem? Did they live here?"
