We're going to have to move, if he could find us, Beka says privately to Riley.

I could kill him before he goes back? Though I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Why wouldn't it - I guess maybe it makes us look like more of a threat? -

I'm not sure why... He's sort of like Kat maybe. Not all the way like her but a bit?

Kat never breathed fire on anybody.

She vomited on you that one time?

That didn't hurt at all, it was just messy.

I don't think that if she breathed fire on someone it would change anything about how I felt about her? Maybe if it was you.... Actually I don't really think it would change things even then. It would probably be my fault somehow anyways. 

Well if you don't want to kill him I guess we have to have a way to keep him without it being a huge problem, but he's really huge and that can all by itself be a problem.

I could kill him I guess....

Maybe you could shrink him? He's too big to feed but if he were littler and better trained...

Maybe but not quickly I think... I'd have to figure out how to handle adapting his brain in a way that didn't disconnect his soul but maybe I can figure out how to do that?

If it's not quick he's gonna get hungry...

I can keep him sleeping in the meantime and hook up a nutrient thing we can put biomatter into for him?

Any biomatter, like all those trees he knocked over? Maybe. But then we also have to get him to behave, not knocking down the whole forest we're trying to live in and not telling his lordship where we are and not breathing fire and stuff.

Oh I was thinking I could keep him sleeping until he's smaller.

Cool... still has to behave though.

Yeah... We could use more Pavlolvia or something? Or you can parent him like you do with Kat?

Parenting won't really work if the first time he makes a mistake his lordship knows how to find us!

Oh, you think he'd tell?

Maybe! Especially if they told him to before he left, or if they can talk to him from here.

Oh. 

I don't think I can prevent him from using osanwe. At least not in a way I'm sure about.

Oh.

Well that's pretty bad then.

Yeah.

I can kill him then.

Bonesaw does not look happy about this.

Menawhile, Glaurung is investigating a tree. He did stop to look at any thoroughly on the way here but now that's he found Bonesaw he can take a break to figure out what is up with the green bits and whether they are gems or food or prey. So far checking has consisted of licking them, poking them with his nose, and attempting to gather enough to hoard them.
