[Morgan]

Morgan looked only the tiniest bit less confused after its two allies tried defining "idiotic". The samoyed still did not know what "stupid" meant either, so the explanations did not quite make sense. Both words were at least obviously insults, so the dog registered them as such.

With its other question ignored, the samoyed gave up on asking Nayru anything else. It hoped that it would at least get some other chance to know why her presence grew stronger - perhaps another time. After a moment the canine repeated what the three Tanglers said, practicing the words to itself: "I hardly find... extreme circumstances... should expect... don't scare me... ill-spoken."
