[ Malicant is a stupid name. And yet one that no one seems to want to say for some superstitious fear that names have a certain power over people and saying its name would summon the damn thing to them. Nonsense of course but to keep people from jumping on his back about it he won't even start to say the name. ]

What was that thing? The enemy, clearly, but what kind of creature? It seems interested in the eggs so I was thinking maybe a snake?

If you have any helpful information regarding this place I'd be really grateful if you could share. And I already know we're on a turtle. That's irrelevant.

[ If not for the fact he spent most of his time with an unnamed fear hanging just over his head he might have been a little more nervous about that announcement but instead it only piqued his interest. ]

[Never mind that was what he himself had thought, after encountering Malicant in person; to hear it from someone else pricks at his conscience, and he draws himself up, ruff flaring indignantly.]

There are plenty of people here who have fought spirits; I do not see how this one is any different from the others, except perhaps bigger. We have fought ghosts before, on the turtle, and I am not afraid to do it again.

[If his voice wavers a little, he covers it well.]

[ It's getting really difficult to play nice with ghosts brought into things. Ghosts. Seriously, ghosts? ]

That doesn't make any sense. You can't fight something that doesn't have a physical form because it doesn't have a physical form and it can't exist without a physical form.

[A noise of faint impatience.] But surely you have been to Sinbrilee by now? The city is all over ghosts; you might explain to them, perhaps, how you think they do not exist.

They don't exist in my world.

However, even "ghosts" are said to have some kind of form for those that believe in them-the reason the mess up electronics, supposedly-is because of electromagnetic waves.

Well, that is certainly no reason to dismiss them outright: there are a great many things in some people's worlds which do not exist in others. Dragons, for example.

I would not know about that-- [admitted a little sullenly, because gosh you people and your 21st century technology] --I am merely saying that it is a little premature to give up hope now, just because we do not fully understand what our enemy is, yet.

Did I say I was dismissing them? I merely said they don't exist in my world.

[ ...apparently somewhere along the lines there had been some kind of miscommunication. He's not that surprised by it, it happens quite frequently. He may be a famous detective on the inside, but but he's a famous detective that is not the greatest in reading into social situations. ]

I also didn't say anything about giving up.

Well, you said that if it did not have a physical form, we would only be wasting our time trying to defeat it; that certainly sounds like giving up to me.

[Temeraire, for his part, has a tendency to jump to conclusions, particularly if he thinks he might get a fight out of it; whatever misunderstanding there is is certainly not one-sided.]

Exactly. There has to be a physical form to exist-otherwise how did it come into creation?

[A little frustrated:] I do not know. I do not think it obeys the laws most of us are used to: not if it travels between universes, and devours worlds.

[ facepalm. ]

How could you not know? If it's alive, there has to be a reason for it- a collection of cells-electro magnetic waves-something that gives it consciousness.

--Then you might ask it yourself, the next time you have the honour of meeting it.

[And he's going to sign off in a fit of annoyance. Super mature. SORRY CONAN]
