OLD SKUA (To Skye) "Ah, the dragon! Big ol' worm, ain't he? Yeah, if you wanna sins a song about power and the beauty of flyin' free, blocking out the sun, an' lookin' for aybody that you might come across, he'd be your subject. Stick around, I'll give ye some o' my greens, and you may see him comin' out of his den over younder. But, we'll have to be hidden, and not move nary a bone, for he can see a cony twitch, he can, an' he'll be hungry."
GREENTUNIC (To Blandamour, slowly and sourly) "Aye, well, ye've proved a man of your word, so I should repay ye. The dragon's den has a back entrance, and it is hidden not a league from here. He doesn't use it, for it is too small. He used the quickling to guard it, but that shouldn't be a problem, now. OH, and the captive princess, not like yours" (he glances slyly at Eliza) "is chained right beside where he sleeps."
