Kindled Vessels

I've had it! Let's gut these skelf and use their bladders to put out the coral fires! Or something like that. It will be fun, won't it, Mammal? Blood and guts flying everywhere, murder and mayhem, explosions, magic, the smell of roasting flesh, and when we're done, I'll sleep well knowing that I've done some good and saved everyone on the reef. I so completely understand why you do this.

I've heard about your exploits on Telara, Mammal. Fighting against your own warm-blooded kind, only because they bowed down to gods, science, or the power of dragons? I thought it strange. Now I understand: you work so hard to save your home against a monster from another dimension, but then some crazy guppies show up to burn the place down! Everyone needs to just flock together and extinguish the threat.
