[Sielje's on leave and she wished to explore a typical human city - Sakihama should suffice. Of course being a prisoner, someone has to escort her. What does she have to say about human civilization?]

What is this?
What was that?
[You know what draws more attention than a strange woman clad in straps of metal, leather and cloth? The same woman who stares wide eyed at everything, vehicles and crowds in particular. Perhaps it's a good thing her sword and helm are left back at the base.]
[2]
[A little later, Sielje managed to come in terms with the weird surroundings. Somewhat.]
Are all settlements on Earth so loud? I have never seen so many people in one place before... but they all appear unarmed and unprepared for a fight or any kind of danger.
And what is this?
[She gestures at a shop. The city has a lot of them.]
You build solid buildings just to serve as places of trade? Is it so commonplace for you?

Shopping, buying, you say. It sounds as if people here can exist not making anything with their hands, just trading goods crafted by others.

Now that I witness your cities with my own eyes, I find a problem in this kind of thinking.

"Da, it is tamed." Alexis says. "Dogs were one of the first species on Earth to be tamed by humans. This particular breed–" He nods at the tongue lolling retriever, "–is very friendly towards humans."
Alexis crouched and scratches the dog between its ears. The dog clearly enjoys it, shaking its head and wriggling.
"I'm surprised your ancestors did not bring them to your planet." Alexis remarks.

[Sielje furrows her brow, focused on a memory. At the same time, her hand subconsciously moves towards the dog's head.]
There was a type of a coffin, or a bed maybe. Humans could rest in it for a long time if possible. But only humans. If my ancestors tamed any beasts, they had to leave them behind.

Or perhaps... putting faith in others.
Either way, would it not be better to grow in strength yourself? The strongest have no one to fear, so they do not need anyone to guard them.

As Sieljie's hand inches forward, the golden retriever whines and gently licks her hand.
Ah, it tickles!
