Kalea listened solemnly to Dante's small speech and felt an overwhelming sorrow for him and his brothers.
::Nope, I didn' know that,:: she replied carefully. ::Guess Gabe takes real good care o' you, huh? He's a great warrior. And someday, li'l Dante, maybe you'll get as tall as him!:: She giggled and ruffled his hair.
::Y'know, Dante, some people don' like my people, either. They hunt us like we was animals. I had a sister what was killed like that.:: She paused reflectively and smiled at the child. ::So you an' I are lots the same! We'll stick together an' have lotsa adventures, huh?::
The young Jellicle then spoke to Nashota, but allowed Gabriel to hear, as well.
::I think...I think Gabe's right,:: she said in a rush. ::I mean, look at these little guys.:: She smiled at the young Cheysuli sitting in front of her and shared a toothy grin with Khanada. ::And think 'bout the boy. I mean, sure he doesn' like us, but that doesn' mean we shouldn' help him, anyway. Remember the big cat-liren? The boy is hers...We helped her live, an' if we don' help the boy she'll die anyway. That's how it works, right? An' think about the g.irl-Cheysuli, an' the other one. They need help, too! They need friends, an' a chance to explore, jus' like us. Gosh, Nashy...there's so much bad stuff in this world! Gabe and Mike and Dante's mum was killed by humans, just like Jeme! Remember Jemelin? If we don' try to stop the bad, then we'd jus' be makin' it worse, right? If the people who are good don' work together 'gainst the bad, then none of us has got any hope! We're in a place now, Nashy, where we could do lotsa good...an'...an' I'm not goin' home again!:: She turned her head away from her sister, afraid of the intense cobalt gaze. ::I can't, Nashy. I...I care 'bout these people, an' I can't go home an' just leave them. 'Sides, what if I...I wanna see the mountains? The Guardian, Nashy, remember those stories? Dragons an' elves an'...an' I wanna go!:: She lifted her head and her eyes shone brightly. ::We've come this far, Nashy.::
