Somehow, the news about the eating, shut out all the sorrow that was poisoning my body. "We have to what?" I said, shocked. If I heard him right, we have to be eaten in order to get water. "Let me get this strait, we took some water without asking, and now we must be eaten for it?!" I said, getting a little worked up.<br/>"Man, thats even worse then the time I mated with a porcupine. I got the respect of the gods though." Ditan said.<br/>"Look, I'm sure me and Mr. Lizard can work something out besides eating each other." I said. "Look, We need to set off anyway, to get an early move on this journey." I said, scratching my head where an itch bothered me. I looked at the locked once more as it remained opened, but also saw something white on my claw. I reached for it and peeled it off, causing the flake to grow bigger as it came off. "Ditan, Agamme, were spending the night here. It turns out, I'm molting." I said, reaching for my hand and peeling another flake off, tossing it in my mouth and swallowing it down.<br/>"Sir, its either stay and die, or move and live."<br/>"Here," I said. "Well see if this lizard comes out unharmed, and that'll prove to us if its safe." I extended my wing, saw a massive white flake, bit it with my teeth, and riped it off, sending it down my gullet to absorb the protein in the skin.
