"I really wish I could give you more positive news," T'lian said regretfully, but he let it go at that. He wasn't willing to lie to someone just to soothe their nerves, but it almost seemed like the news had taken a weight of the girl instead. He didn't know why, but it was nice to see just the same. Delivering bad news was never fun, and he was particularly adverse to doing so when he couldn't even do it with certainty.
Her next question raised his attention. He lifted a brow and looked down to Fellis, who nuzzled sweetly in his hands. "..They can send messages to familiar faces," T'lian replied. "I do it all the time. But they're very delicate about it. It's tough to train them, and they don't like going to people they don't know well. I'm not even sure if I could coax Tansy to go to someone she didn't know at all, and sending them long distances can be dangerous. You risk losing them," he explained. He gave Fellis a reassuring scratch.
He figured he knew where the girl was going with that idea. He thought heading her off before she tried would be the better option. He didn't want her to do something rash and wind up losing a bonded fire lizard because of it. He couldn't imagine losing Khaduceth of course, but he imagined losing either of his little pets would have been awful in it's own way. At that point, it would have just been added pain.
