 "Arturo, I know that you can't speak.  I wanted to thank
you for your assistance in Dragon's Tooth.  You probably don't want
to be here, on the DarkWind.  I will let you off at the next port of
call unless you indicate otherwise.  I wish that I could understand
you, and I wish I knew what you were doing to upset Tolstoy so."
Myce Elf shrugged, and took the child's hand.  "If you want to stay,
let me know.  You are welcome here, to participate in whatever
adventures we may have."

I watched from a few feet behind as Myce got rid of the lion and began
talking to Arturo.  Boy, now I had more reason than ever to beware that
cat.  I felt kind of bad for Arturo and all.  Could he even scream if he was
in trouble?

When Myce stepped back from him, I tugged on her sleeve.  "What is it,
Angel?"

I whispered in her ear so the boy couldn't hear me.  "Do you think maybe
Mer could help him?  I mean, if she can hear that dang bird..."

Myce leaned back, looking thoughtful.  "It's possible," was all she said.

I leaned to her again.  "Well, least we could do is INVITE him to listen in on
our treasure talk, so Tolstoy doens't try to kill 'im again."
