Formicea Chapter 29

-Erys-

Yesterday I had my mother teach over and over again how to write my na.

I have a decent reading ability but I never had to sign anything.

And sothing tells that I will have to.

Probably the super important docunt that might determine the fate of two species.

I have no idea how my na would be written in Formicean with all these clicks and screeches.

So I guess I fare with human language.

That way no one can take offense.

However, this is exactly the reason why I have to speak to Liseti now, before we are going there.

Kyska is naturally accompanying while I left Suki in charge of the courtyard and especially my family.

A huge token of trust.

So I move to Liseti's courtyard where already a small army assembled.

I am kinda glad that I could convince her to at least keep the main force under the earth last ti.

This would have made the situation much more uncomfortable than it already was.

Or escalating everything and leading to bloodshed and death.

I vividly rember my first experience when terrified soldiers got mutilated for their response.

And now I have to talk to Liseti.

It's totally weird for to interact with such a being who could cause this.

But there's not much of a choice, so I move in.

I stand a little dejected, as that could turn into a problem.

Hopefully not a big one.

She shouts quite harshly in Kyska's direction.

While speaking she started to draw with her leg claws so symbol on the ground.

Into existence cos so kind of double-trident each up and down, crossed in the middle with a line that ends with a circle on each end.

I stand stunned, not able to respond.

At this, she promptly becos intimidated.

I would at least want to soothe her sohow.

"I am taking an escort with . Isn't that fine? Just less than a thousand, alright?" (E)

"This isn't nearly enough." (K)

"Liseti, do you think I would be safe with an escort prepared by you? You know more about their abilities." (E)

"Iee wouuld bEelieEve your inteeercEptorz aree eEnough to sEecuureE an eEscaepEe. Ieef guardieEAnz are preesEnt as wEll thieez mieeght suffieze!" (L)

"I would then." (E)

"Princess!" (K)

"Kyska, this is really important for ! So please allow this. Then we can think about the best way!" (E)

"... Fine. I cannot go against your wishes, my princess!" (K)

"Good. I will agree then. We subscribe." (E)

Jorad is the first to put his signature on this docunt.

Liseti looks for a mont on the feather and ink but then instead raises her claw.

She slices a wound in one of the claw's fingers by using another without even twitching and pictures her symbol on the paper.

Jorad is a bit taken aback but manages to maintain a composed expression.

That does not apply to his n who are in the dozens averting their eyes.

Now it's my turn and as I have no intention to bleed green I grab the feather.

My writing signature, I've trained so hard, is due to my nervously shaking hand rather bad.

When I'm done I make next to it this symbol I just learned about and tried my hardest to morize.

This must suffice, as I'm simply not able to do any more than this.

"So we are done then?" (E)

"I would like to schedule our next eting tomorrow in front of the west gate and furthermore would after this wish to get inford about the tunnels under my town." (J)

At the last part, he is understandably a little bitter, since...

Well, we built so kind of invasion gateways there.

That might upset so people.
