"Thank you , Talaak. It's wonderful to make your acquaintance. When I was a child, I discovered that the il-altas gave me the ability to harness nature's power. That was actually why I was chosen to train and become an Edgewalker."
Meiara spends a little bit of time to cast Speak with Animals. When the spell has been finished, she leans in and whispers in it's ear. "Hello, my name is Meiara. Wonderful to be making your acquaintance, would you mind if I were to give you the name Tournesol?"
"Of course." Meiara reaches into her bag and hands her horse an apple. When she's finished, she turns to the rest of the party. "Do you want me to ask your horses their names, too?"

Talaak nods understandingly as Meiara mentions her powers, but looks aghast at realizing that she can talk to horses. He moves over to as far away from both Meiara and Vusgaar as possible, "There's no need for that."
"I have to admit."Jenna admits. "That's a neat trick. Sure. Why not." She maneuvers the horse closer to Meiara, so she can talk, or whisper to it, and has a soft smile on her face, curious as to what the animal would answer the druid.
Demetrios takes notice of the hesitation, but says nothing of it, giving him a firm handshake and a smile. He personally did not know too much of shifters, only having worked with a few when he was working up to become an Inspired paladin, and even then he was more enraptured in study and training than conversing and making friends. When he pulls away from their handshake, he waves his hand dismissvely. "No unpleasantries, though, I do appreciate the apology, Vusgaar. The Edgewalkers will definitely assist in your arcane practice, I'm sure." He gives him a curt nod, turning slightly to Meiara offering to speak to their horses, and pays mind to how Talaak seems to be avoiding the druid now. "Hm... What a strange man... Oh he's racist. Makes sense."
Demetrios returns to his horse, mounting it swiftly despite his heavy armor. He was no cavalier, but at least he could get on the saddle without making a fool of himself. "I suppose when you're finished, you could speak to mine. I would feel better calling it by its name as opposed to just 'horse'."

Meiara gives a slightly sad look to Talaak in response to what he said. "That's unfortunate. These creatures are occupants of the world, just as we are, and like how every one of us is needed for the good of Riedra, so are these animals needed for the good of the world." When Jenna and Demetrios ride over to her, she obliges their requests. "Very well. Be sure to have an apple ready for your horse, it seems that they have a taste for them." And she'll ask their horses what they want to be called.

Jenna grimaces slightly. "Ah., of course."she says, "I did not account for that. I'm afraid I don't have a tasty treat for my horse. Perhaps another time, th-Oh!" she said, once it announced it's name. "Sky is a beautiful name, my friend, but sadly I did not bring any apples for you this journey. Let us make a deal. When the first chance arrives - I shall provide you with two apples!"she pet the horse softly. "How about that? Do you like that deal?"
Talaak grimaces as Meiara talks about the good of the world, "Perhaps, but it's best that they know their place. There is a reason that the Path of Inspiration is a Path, not a gathering ground or watering hole. We all do our best to advance our own souls in this world, not to pretend that those below us are anything but."
"No, I think that Caramel is a fine name." Meiara pulls out an apple and hands it to Jenna. "Your horse is called Sky. And your horse, Demetrios, is called Caramel. And Caramel wants an apple."

"Ah!"Jenna said, smiling. "Thank you, Meiara, I appear to be short on fruit today."She handed it to Sky, and put it in her mouth, whispering to her in her ear. "Today is your lucky day, my faithful steed. But I will get you another apple as soon as the opportunity comes. I promise."
Demetrios shoots Talaak a look of displeasure at his words, but is veered off of retorting back to him by Meiara giving him his horses name. "Caramel, hm?" The paladin reaches back into his pack that he had strapped onto the horse and pulls out an apple. He leans back forward and reaches over to give the horse the apple it wanted, giving her a loving pat on the neck. "There you are. Thank you, Meiara." He says, giving her a smile before looking over the group. "Are we all ready to set off?"

Vuusgar had merely but gently shook his head 'no' to Meira's request. Yet, he glanced over to his horse after, and for a moment had been distracted starting at him. "Hn?" He turns back to Demetrios, and then without breaking eye contact subtly nod. "And this one will ever endeavor to return the assistance with all my ability." With that, he heads back over to his horse to make sure everything is secure prior to climbing on board, and giving Demetrios a nod.
Of Talaak's words, the shifter did not even once bat an eye to, or showed much of a reaction. If anything they were accepted passively as fact, which they were to all upon the Path.

The trip goes smoothly, with no attacks disturbing the peace of the road. You pass a Harmonious Shield contingent at one point, but they do not stop, merely giving you all respectful bows before continuing on their march.
Late in the third day, you see the buildings of Ralia on the horizon, the gentle glow of the crystalline lights that stud many Riedran houses visible from several miles away.

Tanakir looks at Meiara reluctantly, "I just prefer not to associate myself with... beasts." giving Vusgaar some side eye.
