text: Gyovanth, to Me: "You did not choose Csirnis!"
  
  Me: "No."
  
  Gyovanth, to Me: "How could you choose that wriggling worm of a drake over a prince of Chiriact?"
  
  Me: "The question is inapplicable, since I did not choose him. He came in first among the drakes, and he chose me."
  
  Gyovanth: "How could he beat a prince of Chiriact?"
  
  Nrararn: "...handily?..."
  
  Gyovanth: "Impossible!"
  
  Nrararn: "Yet, somehow, it is what happened."
  
  Gyovanth: "Ridiculous!"
  
  Me: "The dragons of Chiriact are impressive and worthy, to be sure, but the dragons of Mhel have their own depths of power and character. I imagine your own wife will someday surprise you."
  
  Roroku: "Thank you!"
  
  Me: "Well, you certainly surprised me."
  
  Roroku had nothing more to add. I think that evens the score between us, at least sufficiently.
