Deles silam Naema,We don’t know each other. Maybe should we learn better to know each other.Please know that I’ve nothing against your individual.Regarding the captive kitin, you surely know that the study group of the kitins (SKA) is constituted of Matis, Trykers, Rangers and Zorais. That each government has chosen to send (except for the rangers).Why a captive Kitin?To better study them, to better understand them, and to better protect ourselves from them, to better fight them.Maybe there is another approach, like the one of observing them in their natural environment. It’s the way the Rangers do, and envision it. Not mine, not ours. Maybe both methods may have an interest in becoming closer to benefit one from another.What do we have learned from the kitin?For now not much, I must confess, but precisely we’re starting to learn. We have a good idea of its diet. We’re learning today that kept away from its usual environment, it decays little by little. We’re in the very act of learning.Lots of homins will say: “it’s obvious” or “we knew it” or “no need of doing all that fuss for nothing”.I answer them: “to travel, you start from your home”.I won’t go further today. And I can understand your anger. But put yourself in our shoes, in my shoes. How could we place our faith in someone we see for the first time and who’s wearing the colours of a guild as heterogeneous as yours.If the barrier of the dialect can be removed, I agree to discuss this with you in one-to-one discussion.Erminantius

Naema awoke and noticed she had several letters in her mailbox and decided to read them over her favorite morning hot beverage.
“HA! My campaign is already getting attention from the Matis government!” She blurted out. 'This is according to my plan,' she thought.
Her concern was not so much for a Kipucka, they were wretched beasts, carrying resources and larvae to new territory establishing new nests. This is the last thing she wanted, especially in her forest home. No, her grief was more the result of feeling snubbed, or ignored and disrepected at the government meeting before the Queen herself! Also, her perceived disrespect that was shown for the Queen also, to moderate the discussion. Many were blurting out what they thought without giving attention to those raising their hands. Naema herself, Ser Salazar, and even Deed were patiently waiting... when she finally expressed her opinion, since she had not seen any published reports on things learned from the Kitin, she made the comment to let it go and was quickly dismissed with giggles. This was not the only thing. What is the point of hearing the views of the people in a Kingdom when other views should be heard but they are not allowed simply because you may be in a Kami aligned guild? If her views will not be heard because of that, she will no longer attend any of those meetings.
Also, Naema was concerned about the reputation of her people and government. If a Kipucka was kept in a pen and slowly harmed in health, her people will only provide evidence of selfishness and cruelty that they are always accused of. Whether the beast deserved it or not was not important, whether some considered it an animal or enemy was also unimportant. She thought maybe many who hated the Matis and cast suggestions of burning Yrkanis to the ground would love to jump on this campaign and express their feelings so she published pamphlets to 'FREE THE KIPUCKA” Not because she agreed with them, quite the opposite. But she knew it would get the governments attention if they did and make them think.
She decided to keep up the campaign for a little longer yet....
She takes out a paper and quill and writes return letters to Ser Salazar and Eminanthus under a cooler head:
Greetings Ser Salazar,I do respect your position in Matis Government, or positions you have served in and I am surprised at the lack of formality the meeting proceeded in and you said nothing. Even you had your hand up and went unrecognized for a time. All this before the Queen even! Yes, I felt snubbed, or belittled. You are correct. I felt that if I was to be dismissed so casually, I may as well leave. Some did not think my concerns were very important. Hence I doubt I will be at any further governmental meetings in the future, it remains to be seen. However, I do not feel my question about where the report of things we have learned about the Kipucka were out of line. If we have learned nothing about it, then whether we turn it lose or kill it will have little or no effect on the bigger Atys. However, I am concerned our reputation as a people will be further damaged before all Homins. Only feeding perceived prejudices people have against the Matis.Hence I simply suggested we let it go and show we are a reasonable people. Some may say the Kipucka is not an animal, but an enemy. I do not necessarily share that belief. I believe if they are alive, our creator put them here for a reason. The Kitins are organized in colonies like some other living creatures do. This shows a measure of intelligence. Whether it is superior to any other life form, even Merio Glotto of the Royal Academy had questions about this on his 'Treatise on Kitins.' I have learned in my readings that the Trykers have strived to have a balance with the kitins, so perhaps this is possible. So far, we are all still alive, so something is working although very fragile. P.S. I do know about this Kipucka, I have visited it several times in Heretics Hovel and provided food for it several times. I have watched it's behavior myself and tried to learn from it. My studies were not so good, but I did put some effort in. Perhaps I am not cut out for being a ranger myself, I only keep the pathways at the moment. Yours Truely,[p]Naema

Yours Truely,
Next she wrote to Eminanthus:
Greetings Ser Eminanthus, Thank you for reflecting upon my concerns. I understand why you captured a kitin and supported it if we learned something. But I have seen no published reports yet, unless I have not dug deep enough to find them in the public newspapers? Please let me know where I can read the reports. My concerns were our reputation as the Matis people. Will people start to think we are a cruel people because we torture animals? This is something we are already accused of daily. If we have learned nothing of this creature, then I suggest we let it go and show we are a reasonably people. Also, I suggest listening to the suggestions of other homins at meetings please. I felt ignored or even laughed at, so I left the meeting. It may have been embarrassing for the Queen too as she was unable to moderate the conversation. One time homins suggested we would reject an action of the rangers and termites and create our own way to keep the kitins out of the forest. The suggestion was wonderful and it worked. So sometimes other ideas work. :DThank you. Yours Truely,[p]Naema

Naema sent off her messages via the Mail Izams and smiled over her beverage....
