105 Desperation

The Byk chuckled, an amused light in its eyes.

"May the Great Mother spare me from such terrible fates. No offense, but to be a decent mating partner you are too thin, too small, hairless and too human."

Thanks to his recently found mana sensibility, Lith realized that the Byk wasn't actually talking. It was using air magic to turn the sounds of the forest in words for him to understand.

"None taken. To be honest, I'm happy to hear that. As far as I know, I'm interested only in human females. Just thinking otherwise was creeping me out." He replied.

"What's a friend?" The Byk asked sniggering.

"Excellent question." Lith sighed. "In theory is someone that cares for you as much as you do for him. Someone to rely on during though times or when you are in trouble."

"Sounds like a mom or a pack leader."

Maybe it was because it was young, or maybe just because it was an animal, but Lith had the impression the conversation was going nowhere.
