"Alright, Wendy, I'm a little confused." Eric said, after thinking over what Wendy had said. "Are you going to eat me, or unbirth me?" Magic abilities sounded good, but he wasn't sure about whether or not he really wanted a shell, scaled skin or "minor megalomaniac tendencies." He didn't want to offend Wendy, or her father, so he kept quiet about it, but let himself look puzzled. The idea of unbirth sounded interesting to him, but didn't know if he wanted to have a permanent change done to him, or at least not before having some time to think about it. He finally spoke up. "Or maybe you could eat me now, and we could try unbirth afterwards?"
