"Hrm. We would have to submit this proposal to others, we are afraid."

Undrella looks up sharply at Harnry's words. "You are not the final authority here? Oh, very well. I've waited this long, another short delay won't hurt I suppose.

"I don't hear them being eaten at least. But they could at least try and make their voices carry to give us some reassurance. I stand ready to assault the place when your deadline arrives."
 


"Yes, we should consult the others but I have one more question before we go... Why do you want this snake killed? I believe everything has a right to life, but I'd like to know why you would have us kill him?"

"I do not kill without need . . . such action is wasteful. This snake is acting according to its nature, but I need the head for my work. Be warned, it is quite large, and exceedingly deadly. It will have to be removed anyway in order for anyone to fully occupy this place; it's removal may as well serve a purpose."
