Mother and daughter glared at each other venomously.
"What's going on?" I asked the father. He pointed his tail at the bluer one "She feels controlled and she..", he said pointing at the lighter one "... feels like she's not getting the respect she deserves. They stopped speaking to each other around two days ago and got into a staring match."
I looked back at the ladies, each waiting for the other to blink first.
"But Heshag... your race doesn't have eyelids", I ventured
"That's right", he confirmed.
I thought about it for a while. "So this is going to last for some time?"
"You can bet on it. I have... between 3 & 5 days"
I considered the ladies again. "I'd bet between 4 & 6 days. A hundred guineas?"
Heshag paused for a second and then smiled "You're on"
I settled more comfortably into my chair and he passed me some popcorn.
