[So, we've been returned to our ships, and they're all different now! Having lower ceilings must suck for those of you who are actually not tiny.]

[She inclines her head, taking a moment before responding.]

They can have many meanings. As war paint, to give Menphina's protection, or to mark a clan. To we Miqo'te, these paints are a vital part of our culture.

[princessia]

Oh...

[ Miqo'te. She'd been wondering what to call her. She was too shy to ask about it before. ]

What do yours mean?

[curiositykilledthecats]

[That gets a faint smile out of her, like there's a joke poor Elize isn't privy to.]

Mine are the same as my wife's.

[It's not even subtle as a deflection, but she doesn't seem to be willing to say any more on that subject.]

[princessia]

Huh? Umm...

[ That doesn't answer her question at all and now she has another question in mind. She might be getting the message that Miah doesn't want to talk further about it. Sort of. Elize just looks confused. ]

Okay...?

[curiositykilledthecats]

Worry not. You may yet find out one day.

[princessia]

[ And Elize still has that same lost and confused stare. She lowers her gaze in a failed attempt to hide her expression and scuffs the floor with her heel. ]

I guess?

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Miah just lifts a hand to pat Elize on the head.]

Have you been well since our return from the Marsiva?

[princessia]

[ She tilts her gaze slightly upwards at Miah. She doesn't have to crane her neck much or at all, unlike she does with the much taller adults. ]

I've been fine. I'm glad we're back on our own ships.

[curiositykilledthecats]

[don't crane your neck, elize, make the other adults get on your level]

I am sorry I was distant during our time on the Marsiva. I sought clues to our hosts, yet found nothing.

[princessia]

[ Luckily the nicer adults do. If not, too bad she doesn't have Teepo to scream at their face... ]

Don't worry.

[ Searching for clues is important! But too bad for the lack of results. Elize hasn't figured anything out of use either, like what was the point of people going into people's minds. ]

I think I had some dreams while I was on the Marsiva, but I don't remember anything about them.
