Tablet XXI

[of_wild_clay]

[Text]

'It is the nature of the heart to long for what it cannot have.'

I suppose there is a small fact in this...if only because mankind longs for many things it can never really have.

[7th_warrant]

And where do you stand in that?

[of_wild_clay]

I do long for something I do not have. I had my brother with me in this place for a small while but now...now I understand what this phrase says.

[7th_warrant]

Do you consider yourself more human as a result?

[of_wild_clay]

I was given a purpose- and as such, I was welcomed into the cities of man at the price of leaving the woods.

[7th_warrant]

Hm...

[of_wild_clay]

Yes?

[7th_warrant]

Such a decision could not have been made easily.

[of_wild_clay]

Shamhat help convince me.

[Though actually, he had little choice in it.]

[7th_warrant]

And who is that?

[of_wild_clay]

Shamhat is a woman.

[That's really all he knows about her. Though it was rather critical considering he had never seen one until her.]

My first woman.

[7th_warrant]

... Your first woman? As in the first you have known or the first you have known?

[of_wild_clay]

[Slight delay on response. It was an interesting concept to think on.]

The first in any regard.

[7th_warrant]

... She must have been quite special.

[of_wild_clay]

Special?

I think so, I consider her a friend.

[7th_warrant]

If nothing else, friends are what defines "humanity" to many.

[of_wild_clay]

...there is much truth in that. I became human when I met her.
