His dam's voice jerks him from his impassive assessment of the corpses, and he turns to face the tribrid giantess. He feels himself relax slightly, the tension and panic of his upset routine beginning to filter slowly out of his body. His mother, more than anybody except Otem, can calm him with a mere look. Her voice, like his own, is devoid of emotion or the bewildering, unpredictable ups-and-downs that denote feeling or emphasis. Whenever other people talk, it's so confusing for Vulkán. Not only does the tone of their voice dart around in a cacophony of noise, but a simple movement of their eyes can utterly change their meaning, before even getting started on the myriad muscle twitches and ear flicks that add a whole different layer to a conversation. The volcano-boy just doesn't comprehend these bizarre cues, and especially not when other horses insist on telling lies, or making odd jokes that make no sense in his mind. Other living things - other conversations - are vast puzzles that Vulkán struggles each day to solve. |
