Scott sat at the round table, watching as Draca and Grayson enjoyed roasted fish. He removed Eggy from his shirt and held him close and away from the disgusting food. 


Not minding Scott's obvious disgust, Draca offered him a piece. Scott swiftly declined. 


During the meal, the three chatted about the worm-vine creatures.

"That book is very suspicious. It's not in any language that I know from the dungeon, and I'm the prince! I know them all." Draca pitched in. 


"Perhaps it's from another nation?" Grayson suggested.
