Taelythenihel looks at Ciprinus with eyes turned to chips of ice. "You pulled me down. What were you attempting? There was no space in the wagon for you to stand. Let us talk of foolishness. I tried to stun the serpent with a spell, but failed, so that Ruud and Ossa remained in danger. If you would prefer your companions not to defend themselves, or you, against wild beasts, then say so now, so that we all know where we stand. Ossa, throw away the scimitar and take my staff, here." Ossa obeys, and leaves the scimitar lying in the dust of the road.
