"I can't rrread thisss lassst bit. I've neverrr ssseen thisss language beforrre." Daphne was intrigued by the information provided by the book, both because it was in the form of a book (OOC: Nice to see that books still exist to go in the library!) and because it was so thorough. She leaned in forward to look at the indicated text. (Oh, GM. Does it look familiar or similar to another language they
might know?)
"Thisss isss wonderrrful! Herrre isss theirrr hissstorrry! Perrrhapsss it isss a sssacrrred tome to them. But I wonderrr who the orrriginal Carrre Takerrrsss werrre." In her mind, she couldn't see why they felt they needed caretakers, being a strong race derived of Cait. It was a slave mentality, and she hated both caretakers for instilling it in them. "There is a good chance of that. Often times, tales of major figures and events take on an almost religious importance to people, particularly during hard times," said Daphne who was impressed that the felinids had been able to hold onto this level of their historical background and culture considering their slave status.
