Ask with a smile and everyone answers. Everyone except the king.

• MirHey, your fangs are really long
  GarsaHuman, isn't that supposed to be a compliment, down the mountain?

The dug-up spots on the slope have been growing for three days straight. Meaning there's one mouth on this mountain someone's brewing roots for this winter.

• BisIt wasn't me!
  GarsaI never said it was you. Why'd you speak up first?
• Ruan KerbanDig up medicinal herbs carelessly and the roots die.
  GarsaA Kerban would know, then. Would you happen to know who dug them too?

• OllenYoung fangs see too well for their own good.

Lately the kids keep coming to the den hollow. And all I did was leave the door open.

• BisCan I go too?
  GarsaCome on. I won't touch your back this time.
• Prince KalenI hear it's been noisy up the mountain lately.
  GarsaA human, hearing everything from our den. Sharp ears you've got.
