Damn.
Fern had been listening along, and had a response to Faine's words ("... did gain my rank as Blue Mage recently") while not disclosing her lower rank, but then she had to ask the question outright. Fern was still getting a feel for the female, but figured, thank goodness, she wouldn't be an abuser of lower ranks. Instead of playing with words and their meanings, Faine had asked Fern's rank outright, depriving her of the chance to use wordplay to bypass the question. Yes, this wolf wore a mask of kindness and truth, but was that wolf the same below? Deep down?
Well, Fern decided, there wasn't much else to do but continue the conversation. It wasn't as if she disliked talking to Faine. It had just been so long since she'd had permanent residence with a wolf that she didn't quite know how to act, didn't know how to form a relationship that wouldn't dissolve within a matter of days or weeks.
"That's good to hear. I'm glad they're friendly. And no, I haven't gotten ranked yet, but I have been speaking to a dragon yet. I'm hoping for Knight or possibly Talon."
She hadn't explicitly stated her current rank, but hoped to turn Faine's attention to the possibility of Fern having a high rank. Hopefully it was enough to keep Faine on her toes, instead of looking down her muzzle at Fern.
