Tr'Lawsh read outloud until the end, when she stopped. "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?)
{OOC: The language is not familiar to her. However, that does not mean that
the Federation libraries don't have something tucked away in their vast
databanks. - CS}
"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.
