K'rei looked around at her tribe, and smiled in remembrance. Three years ago a member of this tribe had rescued her and granted her succor and a place among people of the Hipparion Tribe once more. She stood and addressed her saviours.
"Five years ago the calamity struck Eorzea, and changed the landscape much as coming of the Fifth Umbral Era and the Ice that drove our ancestors south. When Dalamund fell, so did a great number of our friends and family. When I awoke my tribe was gone, but I was young, strong and full of pride, sure that I could survive alone and one day restore my tribe. But the Amalj'aa had other ideas, and if not for K'mana I would been sacrificed to Ifrit. But instead the strength of this tribe saved me, and granted me a new home and family."
"When you are weakened, there is nothing wrong with seeking help. We do not send our huntresses out alone to seek our strongest prey, but in groups. Because together we are truly strong. I do not mean to say to discard your pride as a warrior entirely, but merely do not allow it to rule you."
K'rei turned to K'haali and addressed her, "You raise an interesting point, but I have questions you may need to think on. What will we do for tools to work the rocks, and few of us have the skill for required of a miner. Then we need think on transportation of the loads across the Sagolii and then attempt to trade profitably in a city known for its wealth of minerals and gems. You say we have always been apex hunters and gatherers but do you wish us to discard that to become miners?"
K'rei then turned to K'ailia "So your Garden extends its hand to us in our time of need, I wonder how this came about. Such an offer would be beneficial to us, but I see the need to remind us all the help does not always come freely. It is possible that they hope to curry favor among our young to join this academy. Or it is possible they wish to bolster their strength of arms, for if we were to stay with them we would undoubtedly defend our new home if they were to be attacked."
K'rei looked between both girls, "Both your ideas have merit and I love to see the young seeking what they can to support their tribe. But I will add my voice and support to K'ailia's offer, for I think that experience would serve us well as we seek a new home and new prey."
K'rei bowed once to each the girls and then took her seat.
