Prompt: Mute

“Welcome, sapling.”

Deoir was so tired of that greeting that she ignored the speaker entirely. The sylvari's brow furrowed at her lack of a response.

“Don't mind her!” Offered a sister who had awoken minutes after Deoir. “She hasn't spoken yet!”

“Oh,” a wave of compassion poured out like a tide. “Shall I send for a mender? They are our heal-”

“No. Thank you.” Deoir interrupted, annoyed that her lack of gibberish chatter was being treated like an abnormality. She walked past their startled, disapproving looks, determined to get this orientation over with quickly.
