One doesn't normally hear the word 'peace' in a joyful exclamation, and for a moment the Sela is puzzled by his young companion, head slightly cocked. But when Xi follows him and speaks another Quadrian word, Lhall's long ears flare upright and his eyes widen minutely. This creature knew his language (or, at least, one of his languages)? The moment of surprise passes quickly and the male's serene expression alters slightly to a very mild smile, pleased. "Kaaitet," he nods to confirm the youth's statement, and feels a great weight lifted from his heart. The strange creature is young and of a different species and world -possibly Keshal, with its many bizarre creatures- but hse is kin, connected to the Scholar-Warrior through the Quad's very existance.

The smile deepens slightly, golden eyes softening as Lhall decidedly tosses his muzzle towards the now-strong scent of water and pads towards it slowly, allowing the Zrruvan to walk at his side. His moonblade sways behind him with every graceful step, avoiding the sunlight so that, should some fool beast attack again, it will not realize what danger it faces -- and woe be to the creature that tries to harm the youth next to the Sela. Ears and eyes mobile and mind alert, Lhall perceives no danger as they reach the small stream that he'd smelled; the Scholar stops and stands still, a simple nod of his head indicating that Xi may drink first before the male looks away and around. The scents are rich, sun-hot, and pungent, and he's having a difficult time filtering through them in his search for predators or large beasts.

However, it's clear to anything with a brain that the hematite-furred male is protecting the sapphire Zrruvan; Lhall just hopes the youth won't be offended or unnerved by his close proximity, for although Selas are a race that likes physical contact -to love or to fight- Xi may not be the same.
