[Iskierka is in her suite today, frowning at a hole in her wall, close to the floor. Through the hole can be seen the back legs and shell of a young turtle, and Iskierka huffs a moment, as she sees what her adopted progeny is up to. The turtle's happily munching away on a fine piece of cloth, draped somewhat artfully on a wall and pinned there.]

Yin! Do not eat that, it is not filling at all. [She abandons the console for a moment to attempt to hold the young turtle back, and then shoves the tapestry up a bit higher.]

Come along, Yin, we shall find you some fish or some plants; perhaps a stew -- may turtles eat stew? I suppose that Gong Su would know, but he is not here.

[Then her neck cranes back towards the console, still keeping a firm claw on the erstwhile Yin.]

Does anyone know what young turtles might eat?

>Tt.< You could try doing that, too, if you wish.

I do not know the proper way to.

You always could attempt asking Asti. Since - as turtles have not hatched for, as far as I have been told, billions of years - he is the only one likely to know the proper way.

That is quite likely! When I catch fish next, I shall be certain to ask him.

[ Damian considers that, trying to determine if it's sarcasm or actual intent. But he hasn't communicated with dragons enough to be able to tell. SO he assumes intent. ]

If he will answer that way, of course.

[Iskierka understands sarcasm -- she would have to, with Granby as her captain, but she rarely uses it herself.]

He may, I can never tell.

[ But the question is, does she use it? ]

[ Damian watches her for a moment. ]

He has not talked to you? In dreams?

Very seldom.

I believe that is the general case, yes. He likely has a reason for that. But, should he come again, at least attempting to ask him might be a good idea, do you not think so?

It might, perhaps.

>Tt.<

[ ... he was trying to be helpful, okok! ]

And what is that meant to mean?

It does not matter.

[ Whether that's about her question or an answer to her question is up to her to guess. ]

Certainly it does, it is quite rude to dismiss one so.

Did I? Or was I dismissing myself?
