Nemusko frowned but not because he was insulted by Makya's retort but because he did not fully understand it.

As far as the Linutoko were concerned, it was an honor to be compared to any animal given certain circumstances. The monkey was in fact often attributed to the wild and untamed Spirits of the Linutoko children but Nemusko did not take offense to the cat's remark. "Thank you," he replied instead. "I am Yis-" he stuttered and then continued, "Nemusko of the Linutoko, children of these plains. I seek no enemies, cat."

Their diction could lead many to assume the Linutoko were a formal people but outside of ceremony, they were direct and actively avoided vague answers and idle chatter.
