It’s rare to see Tzah-Tzie so Tzah-Tzerious… but you know better than to yank her chain around when she is! Of course, you nod, gently placing a hand on the Durher’s shoulder, you might be an affable goofball with a penchant for pratfalls and awkward faux pas, but… you promise.

A boulder’s-worth of tension leaves her tiny body as your answer hits her ears… and a relieved smile breaks through her stony expression.

“... Thank you, Ant. I know I sound unreasonable, but…” The Spinner gulps down some lingering unease. “... But it’s been years since I’ve been to Umberal.” Her big eyes delve deep into yours. “Truth be told: I’d rather I never went back.”

Well you won’t be sightseeing, you shrug, you’ve got business to take care of. TT nods.

“I know… and I’m with you every step of the way, okay?” A gossamer tail gently caresses your leg. “‘A Tzah-Tzie guarantee’, remember?” She adds as a cheeky grin finds its way onto her face.

There… is one thing, you mutter as your eyes fall from the Spinner’s stare. But uh… if you go looking for her sisters then you might run into her family one way or another-

“Then I’ll be very, very far away when that happens.” TT replies without missing a beat. “I’m not dumb, Ant… I just have no desire whatsoever to ever interact with my family again.”

Well yea, but-

“Vhale might be a monster, but my family gave us up willingly.” She adds with a pointed stare. “Everything they own is stained with blood, Ant. Everything. And if this trip to Umberal inconveniences them in even the smallest capacity, well…” She shrugs. “Then I’m all for it.”

Giving your leg another pat with her tail, the girl regards you warmer than she did at the beginning of the conversation as her eyes sheepishly start to search the floor…

“One more thing…”

That earns a raised eyebrow! Yea?

Steadying herself with a deep breath, she looks at you with those sparkly eyes of hers… and then shakes her head.

“... N-nevermind… I’ll tell you tonight.”

Fair enough?
