[Tauriel pauses blinking as she studies Sikozu. the name was certainly a mouth full. Hesitantly, she tries it out, mimicking it to the best of her ability. It wasn't too far off.] Shikozu. [It was an interesting name.]

It appears so. The number of differing races is surprising I had not thought there were so many. I was told there are as many as the stars in the sky or thereabouts. It is all the more surprising to me since we have long been taught our world was singular, made by Eru.

[there was a slight head shake when she heard Sikozu's race] Indeed I have not heard of your people.
