“Um...sorry, but we don’t speak fish,” Fred said in typical, blunt
fashion. “Still, it is rather amazing, isn’t it?” a more subdued Astra added in a reverent whisper. “I mean, it’s still a floating, talking fish. Not something you see everyday.” “Ooh, wow, I’m so amazed,” he scoffed. “Show me a talking squid that actually speaks in a civilized tongue, that would be something to write home about. Or even a dolphin that did tricks. That’s just a stupid fish. It floats and it speaks fish. Big deal.”The princess turned to Fred with eyes narrowed in anger. “You are an ill-mannered jerk sometimes, you know it?” Fred burst into derisive laughter, as phlegm and spittle flew from his mouth. “Right. Manners – that’s what a knight needs to slay a dragon. Manners. I suppose when we finally confront it you can give the big, friendly lizard a dainty little curtsy and invite it to tea and crumpets! No wonder you ended up shackled to the walls, naked as the day you were born!”“You take that back!” “Uh, guys,” Velus barked, “I think I can understand it.”“Quiet, Velus,” Fred scolded the dog. “The humans are talking. I will take nothing back! A knight of Allaria stands by his word to the death!” “Well maybe we should test so bold a claim,” said the princess through gritted teeth, reaching for the dagger at her waist. “Oh, please,” Fred yawned. “I’m not going to fight you, a mere woman. Besides, my sword (among other things) is much larger and my armor would bend that blade like it was a child’s toy. You Aqualarian women are feisty, I’ll give you that, but you need to learn your place.”
