"I think my own approach sounds similarly scholarly, in many ways," Lenore points out, giving a little shrug and starting to regain some of her playful energy. "Though my desire to be included is a bit more overt."

She looks off in the direction of Ikorr, brow furrowing a little with longing to discover more of that world and to get to be a part of it. "I want to know how they've achieved their peace within themselves and with humans--and werewolves. I want to know whether such principles can be applied back home."

Not... that she can go home, she realizes. And if she cannot go home, even if the summoners here were willing to send her, then the knowledge can only really be theoretical. Scholarly interest for information she'll never be able to put to use.

She tamps down on that sudden emotion, not willing to dip back into grief when she only just lifted out of it for this conversation.
