[QUOTE="jbear, post: 6069678, member: 75065"] Maui nods at Sylla's assessment and kicks his horse forward to remain alongside the elf. Maui does not think of himself as one who does not have a way with words, hence it does not even occur to him that it would be better to have Denizel do the talking. As far as Maui was concerned these people were Goti. The bones had called them to this place with their desire to find rest. Suddenly Maui's head whips around to regard Sylla when she uses his native tongue to call Boots. All thoughts of his purpose for being there suddenly fled, Maui says in a sharp tone: [COLOR=#008000]"If you are taking te reo to be calling te wolf, then you will teach Maui how you teach te wolf to like te Brown Water."
