Zhe'om couldn't believe it. "Zhe'om!" Kon and Tsoe'am said almost in unison. They then rushed to each other and hugged.
"Zhe'om, how did you escape and who's tusks do I need to break?" Tsoe'am asked while hugging. Zhe'om chuckled.
"Threats and a rock to the head," Zhe'om responded as they stopped hugging.
"Ha!" Tsoe'am barked, "It's great to have you back." She paused for a second, "What are you wearing?"
"It's formal wear for Dzo͌nts servants," Zhe'om told her.
"Okay and who's that?" Tsoe'am asked pointing to Jo͌za͌n.
"That's Jo͌za͌n," Zhe'om answered, "She's a friend."
"It's great that you made a new friend," Kon stated. He then walked up to Jo͌za͌n. "Tsihang, I'm Kon."
"It's nice to meet you Kon," Jo͌za͌n replied. Tsoe'am walked up to Jo͌za͌n as well.
"Tsihang Jo͌za͌n, I'm Tsoe'am," Tsoe'am greeted.
"Nice to meet you Tsoe'am," Jo͌za͌n stated.
"I'm glad to see Zhe'om made a new friend," Tsoe'am stated, "Tell us about yourself."
"There's not much to say," Jo͌za͌n replied modestly, "I'm just a peasant."
"Don't be so modest," Zhe'om told her, "There's so much more to you." This made Jo͌za͌n smile at Zhe'om, making her heart skip a beat (whatever that meant).
"Well I know how to read and speak our world's three major languages," admitted.
"Cool," Tsoe'am stated with Kon smacking his tail against the ground in agreement.
"How did you find me?" Zhe'om eventually asked Tsoe'am and Kon.
"We followed the tracks of the wagons' tracks," Tsoe'am answered.
"We were really worried about you," Kon stated, "Now we can go to the Chon'go Empire."
"Okay," Zhe'om replied enthusiastically, "If we're all ready, let's go."
