Excuse me? Hello? Can anyone understand what I'm saying through this book? I've seen people speaking into these strange books and other people seem to speak back. I'm...really rather confused by this entire place.

Tarouza? Kurokagi? Anyone? What happened after the battle? Did we win? Is that why I can understand all of these people?

[There's a bit of shuffling as he moves through underbrush, emerging near the market area. Screaming immediately starts from everyone who catches sight of him.]

...Well, that was a bit rude. They all ran away. Anyway, back to business. I've been wondering about some other things that seem to be important, here. Perhaps one of the people listening can tell me.

First of all, what is "currency" and how does it work? I've been given little shiny bits of this "currency", but I'm not sure what to do with it.

Second, how does "writing" and "reading" work? It's something you humans do for these book things, correct? I'm...really a bit new to all of this.

Why are you all so large? The humans I know are much smaller. Or have I somehow gotten smaller?

I'm part bird.

I don't know if I'd be willing to give up meat entirely, but in a world where all animals could get along, I think I would.

My baby sister can't eat meat at all, and my baby brother seems to have a preference for eating bears and tigers.

What are you then?

I'm on the fence about fish. I think I should be able to get by on those without feeling too bad about it.

I'm a tiger.

If it helps, I get murderous from meat so I have to be careful, but I can usually handle fish without too much trouble. I never know how to feel about it either. Fishmen are usually fine with eating fish, but merfolk talk to the fish so they won't eat them at all, which makes sense I suppose.

Are you a transforming tiger or just a very big tiger?

That's how it is. It's hard to eat something that you know thinks on the same level as yourself. That's part of what Tarouza is trying to do. What I promised to help him achieve. A common language for all animals, and a food we can all enjoy.

I was much larger. I previously thought all the humans were just immense, but I see now that I've merely gotten smaller. Very strange.

Eh, really?

[Head tilt.] I wonder if that means Davy Jones would have to shrink some of my brothers to bring them here.

I don't know. I suppose you'd have to ask him. I used to be taller than most trees.

Maybe the trees are bigger here too.

[Sure Marco, troll the tiger.]

Everything is bigger? I'm not a fool, friend.

[A small laugh.] Sorry mate.

So did you find a crew looking for a great big tiger yet? I'd invite you to mine, but my Captain would try to eat you. And I wish I was making that up.

That is your pack, right? This "crew"?

Aye my flock. I mean -- pack. My family is part of my crew, and sometimes becomes so vice versa.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the information, then.

My pleasure.

Do me a favor and if a sweet heron lass comes your way, tell her about that fruit, aye?

My captain wanted to make a wish that she could eat meat, but that fruit sounds a lot better.

I'll be sure to pass it along, then.
