The oxen's friendliness clearly delights Nephenee, as a beaming smile spreads on her face. "Why howdy, He Sheng, Xiao Man. It's nice to meet ya both." Knowingly, she lets them sniff her, before she gently places her hands on their broad muzzles, and gives them affectionate scritches. Just like Clover and the cows back home!
There's a note of wistfulness in her features for a moment, before she answers Shu, still petting the beautiful creatures. "Oh, jus'...missin' the fields. Ah can't do a lot o'growin' on the ships...so sometimes Ah come here to do a lil' tendin' an' spendin' time in the crops. Sometimes, Ah kinda wish Ah'd been put with The Vault, but..." The last sentence is a little softer as she trails off. It's a tug of war between two sides, admittedly. But even then, she's quite happy loving on the big loveable critters in front of her.
