Red touched eyes narrowed, and his lips twitched. ”It is Yanggadi Saghani,” he corrected without hesitation. He knew not why everyone wanted to shorten his name, which became meaningless when done so. It was not something he would tolerate. But she gets a pass this time.
Her explanation made some sense. She didn’t hunt them, and he looked at her form. He quickly grew larger than her without even being a full adult yet. His strength was already surpassed hers, he was sure of it. Why did she not hunt them, he wondered? Even if she only stood to direct them one way or another, everyone had a use. Regardless, his point still stood.

Fa’liya is a ghost talker, one who knows things. He had come wondering, does she know this?
