(My child, you must go back with mom), said the queen with a stern tone.

(Nope!), exclaimed the baby lezaali.

(Why not?) Exasperated, the queen huffed under her breath.

The only good thing was that the rest of the lezaalis had retreated to the nest and no one would have to witness this embarrassing situation she found herself in.

(Mom, boring. Eloah, funny), it answered innocently.

The woman didn't understand what the creature meant by 'eloah', but she wasn't that interested in finding out either. Besides, many of its words were incoherent. But what she did know was that if they didn't treat this Samael guy quickly, then this whole exchange would have been in vain.

The queen, on the other hand, was silent for a while after realizing that being harsh was not working, and decided to change tactics.
