Please don't pet the goats. It's habit forming. Bring them to the Kuma-Ko for the bears to take care of. I'll offer my heron feather to whoever brings in the most.

Yes, the magic kind that provides one-time protection from harm.

Yes, you'll need it.

Bonus points if you tape the goat's mouth up so I don't have to listen to it.

You... are going to take them to the restaurant for...

[Zelda knows what she means to say, and she understands, but there's a part of her that feels it's a little harsh. It'd be harsher to let them be all cramped.]

...All of them, Sir?

[canttrustliars]

I have no idea what the bears are doing with them. It doesn't really matter.

And yes, all of them. What, you propose we leave one or two so we can have some sort of war over who gets the stoner goats?

Well that's what leaving them here will end up doing.

I know that... We should do what is best for them.

[oblique_wisdom]

Well, yes, of course, but goats are herbivores. They are not going to eat us. We are higher upon the cycle of eating... It is possible to worry of ourselves and them, not simply one or the other.

[canttrustliars]

[oblique_wisdom]

I understand...
