And then, despite the rather heavy atmosphere, the jungle warrior burst into tears of laughter. He embraces his friend in a violent hug which sends Taniwha falling from his shoulders and past his back to the ground with a hissing howl of annoyance. Of course the cheetah lands on his feet, tail twitching left and right. "Handsome Blade! Taku teina! Don't be talking stupid!" He holds his friend at arm length beaming a smile at him. "Why would te hill of te town where Maui lives have wisdom of this place? Te hill has no legs. Te hill of Taumata-whakatangihanga-koauau-o-Tamatea-haumai-tawhiti-ure-haea-turi-pukaka-piki-maunga-horo-nuku-pokai-whenua-ki-tana-tahu have wisdom of te village and te tribe and te ancestors spirits, but not of this place. But Maui is proud that Handsome Blade learn te name of taku maunga! I will tell te people of my village on te hill, that Handsome Blade master te fearsome name of our hill! You have won great mana amongst my people!"</blockquote>
