Callisa took a breath before she told her story
"Well. During the time we were supporting Vermeer in taking the South Stream. I met a crew of pirates that were hired by Vermeer who used to work for my father when he was still alive. In fact, they were the very beasts that had transported a group of explorers to the New World before my Family's kingdom was destroyed. Well anyway. They had told me that one day while sailing near the New World to avoid being sunk by goodbeasts. They had found one of the explorers still alive. You see? When they were sent to the New World to explore and got attacked by raccoon savages.. Some managed to escape on a damaged ship... and some got left behind..... Anyway. When they brought him aboard along with all these documents we see here, they had found out he had been bitten by some creature and was nearly starved to death. Despite feeding, clothing and doing everything they could about the wound. He still died from the venom. Yes. The creature was venomous.... Anyway. They kept his possessions in hopes of selling it off for a high price. So when they saw me during the battle for the Great south Stream. They sold it to me."
She had caught the hint of sarcasm when Drask said "Madam Callista." How would she respond to that? By insulting his intelligence.
"Well? What are you doing just standing around here? Take a look! Most of them even have lovely sketches for you to look at so you don't have to read anything!"
Callista made an innocent smile. Alexander was a good beast and after all the kindness he had given her? Why not give him a little help about dealing with Drask for mocking him?
