She starts by being dismissive but then something changes mid way as she recalls how she is trying to save those closest to her and how those she is unable to will soon perish. Then she gets sad and so I know she really likes these creatures with their essential craft of language.

Yes? No?<br /><br />(sighs) Your writings always amaze me with their depth of character.
