(Because the skin of his eyelids is white, it is difficult to tell when he is blinking, which gives him a rather unnerving stare.) "It is a shame to be wrenched from one's people so; and this one cannot help but think unworthy thoughts of the spirit-talker that was spoken of. This one listens to the spirits himself; and being of so little talent, and such mean understanding, he finds that he can easily misunderstand their words, or become convinced that they say merely what this one already believes and desires to hear. This one does not say that the spirit-talker of the honored traveler clan was so mistaken; and yet, in this one's poor judgment, it seems so."One-Who-Waits turns his attention to Grigo, thinking on what he has said. He mulls over the possible meanings of "Fruit Day." He considers Grigo's peculiar outfit. He ponders Grigo's comments on the color of his own flesh. His expression does not change as he turns these things over in his mind. Did Grigo not say "berry nice to meet you"?One-Who-Waits finally gathers his thoughts."This one wishes the worthy strawberry a 'berry' happy Fruit Day also," One-Who-Waits says politely. "This one is too ignorant to know what activities suit the occasion, but allow him to suggest humbly that it is not a time for 'melon'choly." He looks again at Yimayngurr. "The honored traveler will perhaps be good enough to forgive this one if his comments caused any offense; this one would not be thought a 'medlar.'"One-Who-Waits does not show even the smallest hint of a smile.</blockquote>
