They are surrounded by a collection of ropes, carabiner hooks and an improvised harness made of twisted silk--as well as several hastily scrawled drawings in the dirt around them. The marquis drags a stick through the dirt, connecting two of the lines

What's this?

[watchmycannon]

--I found cause to pursue some bidding of my own.

[archaelologist]

Well done.

[watchmycannon]

I thought it was rather clever, myself. She is quite unlike any dragon we've at home.

[archaelologist]

Dragons are extinct where I'm from, so I had never met any before coming here. They are largely extremely intelligent and very good conversationalists.

[watchmycannon]

Ours are intelligent enough for beasts, but I have never heard of one that speaks. It was quite the surprise.

[archaelologist]

You should meet our doctor.

[watchmycannon]

...That's a rather interesting segue. Related?

[archaelologist]

He's a reindeer.

[watchmycannon]

...Somehow I can't imagine he is good at very delicate operations...

[waggles his fingers at you]

[archaelologist]

Oh, he ate the Human-Human Fruit, so Chopper does have hands when he needs them.

[watchmycannon]

...I believe you're correct: I should meet him, as that sounds simpler than you continually needing to clarify for me.

[archaelologist]

That sounds like the best plan.

[watchmycannon]

Though I might still ask -- what is a human-human fruit?

[archaelologist]

It's a type of Devil Fruit.

[watchmycannon]

[Shakes his head]

I've not heard of them.
