Father Quigo stiffened up again.  "That thing stopped us from doing anything not relating to making that grain," he said.  "I don't know what it wanted with Drasz, but I doubt it was anything good, so I'm not taking any chances.  And besides..." he paused for a moment, noticing Lili'fey coming in, "...Drasz has other sources of food.  Our grain was designed to be planted, to help solve the problem on a more permanent basis.  Your new friend will probably do the same thing."<br/><br/>Then he put on a smile.  "Our personal food stores were untainted," he said.  "The same goes for our garden.  Only our experimental wheat.  We have enough food for lunch.  I'm pretty sure we can even spare some beef from our dairy cows.  But yes, you should probably get going soon afterwards, or you'll arrive at Shrikeslee well past midnight."
