"A wise dog he is, not a clown, and so his tricks are of the road and of resource."
I nod in understanding, though the sight of the man talking to him, scratching him behind the ear and him sitting there like any old dog is enough to make me grin. Not a clown, my ass. If he rolls over for a belly scratch, I'm gonna need to take a break.
Uri doesn't offer his hand and I know its not a custom of everyone so I don't offer mine. "Talk is had of monsters and magic, and I have seen enough in my life to know that there are things in this world mysterious beyond reckoning. Is this town such a place, think you?"
Nodding, my mouth opens to tell him I know so, he's snuggling up to one right now as a matter of fact.... Footsteps behind me and I don't have to look back to know who it is. "Really? I'd take him for a canny dog, maybe, but to call him a wise one..."
My grin widens. "Hey, Glass," I say cheerfully, doing my best not to laugh. As always, she hit the nail right on the head. It doesn't take much wisdom to bully people into submission. I've never seen Iago that pissed off and I've tried. "Sure thing." I smile at Glass. I could use a drink myself. "Anyone want anything to eat?" May as well ask while I'm going.
