It was amusing watching his mother play like a child, reaching through the different men and a few women. He didn't really do anything except watch, her playfulness was definitely a joy. Though a moment later, she moves into sitting down right next to him. Joining him in people watching for a few moments after she takes a moment to rest.
Syren starts to go through the memories, sorting them out to actually make sense of what is going on. She wasn't quick with piecing them together, it was like a jigsaw puzzle, where she was being made to do it with paws and not the hands that they have in their mindscapes. The first few pieces of information were mundane, who is sleeping with who. Who has the best ingredients, and where is the best place to eat.
In a few moments she starts to get into the meatier portions, where some guys were talking about some of the brothels, which gave a couple of interesting little events, where there are a few of 'suspiciously obtained and origins', some having extra appendages like ears and tails. It was something that made for a strange thought of origin stories. It would have been something that would make for a great sort of story if properly told.
The next batch letting them finally know what brought them, it wasn't the expansion of an empire, at least a normal one, there was multiple different nations. They were following something that provides a strong source of growth. It was a different change to find the weren't trying to be like most expansionists.
It was a sort of peaceful improvement, some still are on the pride of purity of race. Though in a different way, this has them proving their bloodline purity is the best, not all of them have an interesting bloodline, some are simply canine or feline, their powers more reactionary or sensory based. There is some bovine based, where there is strength enhancements. And some scaled based protections, which wasn't certain if it was lizard snake or even dragon.
This was a strange line of thinking was soon interrupted by a deluge of recipe ideas. There is a bit of interest in all of the meat based dishes, a line of drool was flowing down her muzzle, flowing to pool on the ground. Her eyes were almost blank images as she 'tastes' it. The wolfess wasn't subtle about what she wanted to be eating. The fact that she was distracted by it was almost amusing. Though he knew that she did have more that she was ready to share with him.
It was a few moments as she enjoys the taste of the meat dishes. She seemed to have an almost deep satisfaction that if he didn't know she couldn't enjoy it fully. The wolf chuckles a little at that, "Going to keep moving?" He asks wondering as to what else she might have.
She shakes her head, the spectral drool flying, as she clears her head. The next patch of memories is about the the road and how others were starting to get more people there quickly. Taking in the fact that there is a secondary method to getting there. A teleportation array, something that doesn't take to long to fill it up, but it required a very well hardened structure, the design is a bit simpler.
The wolf's head shakes a little as he starts to move over to where the array had been settled. It wasn't hidden, the space needed for it was large enough to contain the camp, which would take them about 10 minutes run, and it was able to summon stationary objects. Those having the requirements of being less then 5 wagons, easy to get loads of supplies and move people, but requires people to charge the array. It could fill naturally, but that would require the sort of area producing treasures in an abundance.
The fact that was exactly the area that it was, helped. But that also made it problematic because most of the time the teleports are supposed to be timed out right. If the energy in the area is to high, well it makes the array run at a constant pace. Most normal people didn't have that information, just a vague awareness of it.
It made sense since the arrays acted both as receivers and senders, if there was a group on the array and it suddenly turns on to send, without notice. It could wind up catastrophic for the receiver killing whoever was on the other side.
How they coordinated was a bit harder to understand, something about a rare treasure that would assist in it. Most towns only having a few with just some as backups to make sure if it breaks or sabotage there is something to keep them safe.
When the pair arrives at the array, the first thing they notice is the banner like flags flying in divots, all blood red, looking like it is providing a warning signals. Moving to the nearest flag, without breaking the boundary, there is a divot carved into stone connecting into each flag and circling the formation. It looks like a spiderweb from the position they were at.
They decided to stay and watch, having 'Heard' some information, they knew someone, or thing, was going to come through, and the little wolf was curious how it would look.
