Part 564: Miriel A

Hmm. It appears that Cherche is absent today.

(Minerva roars)

Two decibels louder and you would have caused permanent hearing loss, Minerva.

I assume you are expressing displeasure caused from hunger, yes? I have an apple here in my sleeve. Would you like it?

......

...... Could you please release my arm from your jaws before it is torn off?

Minerva, stop that! Let go of her arm!

Oh, I'm SO sorry, Miriel! Are you alright?

I am fine. Clearly she meant no injury, elsewise I would be less the arm.

Hee hee...

I fail to see the humor in the situation. Were I a barrister, I could take you for all that you were worth.

I'm sorry. I was just thinking how nice it is that you two have become friends.

Friends? Do you think so?

How did you know she was hungry otherwise?

It was a logical assumption. ...Wait. No, it was not. Fascinating. Perhaps I am acquiring your knowledge of wyvernspeak?

Nope. It just means that when you get to know a wyvern, you start to understand her.

I'd not considered that such a thing might be possible for the layperson.

Apparently so.

How utterly fascinating! I must now expand my investigation to include myself as a subject.

That is, if you will allow me to continue to interact with Minerva? In fact, I hope you will be my partner in what is becoming a fruitful field of inquiry!

Well, it's not just up to me.

Ah, of course. ...Minerva, will you continue to help in my research?

(Minerva roars)

......

I believe that was affirmative.

It certainly was!
