I'd forgotten what is was like to go for a walk without my shirt sticking to me." He fussed again over the wher, hands busy even as he spoke to her. "Just as well I didn't bring Tiddler out though isn't it, hm? You'd have had him for dinner I bet."

"Don't I know it!" Andronda laughed.  She liked it better like this,
with Bl'by acting like she was a normal person, and not someone who
was standing up on a pedestal all the time.  "This feels more like the
weather I grew up with, back in Telgar."

Pochi didn't know what a 'Tiddler' was, but the word dinner had the
wher snuffling at Bl'by's pockets for possible treats.  A silent
warning from Andronda kept the wher from getting too rambunctious.

"Probably a good thing, yes, but I wouldn't have let him approach if
you had.  I'd hate to see someone's pet get hurt because of him.  And
as much as I like to think my training would keep him from it, a puppy
would probably be too tempting for him not to try."
