You are far too happy about my imprisonment. Considering I do not have my cigarettes and am going to be hanged, I am not quite sharing your excitement.

No, I am not looking forward to finding out what happened and I do not care about zhe ridiculous conjectures everyone ees making. I zhink you are all overreacting.

Perhaps your time would be better spent doing somezzing ozer zhan sitting zhere making zhat obnoxious noise?

[hasstandards]

Not that kind of egg. One I brought back home.

[not_onyourside]

One you... As een somezzing ees alive een eet?

[hasstandards]

That's kind of how eggs work, mate.

[not_onyourside]

You are growing an egg?

--

Are you feeling well? You found somezzing tiny and cute and you did not eat eet?

[hasstandards]

First of all, you don't grow an egg. You hatch it.

And second, it's not mine. I gave it to Pyro.

[not_onyourside]

Zhat ees -- actually razzer sweet.

What ees eet going to be when eet hatches?

[hasstandards]

[He adjusts his hat.]

I don't know. Thought she might, er. Like it, though.

[not_onyourside]

And what eef eets a giant venomous spider?

[hasstandards]

She'd probably think it was adorable anyway.

[not_onyourside]

Even a spider?

Well, I suppose eef eet makes her happy...

[hasstandards]

Yeah.

[A pause after that agreement.]

S'not gonna be a spider in this egg, though. I found it in a dragon's nest.

[not_onyourside]

Unless zhe dragon was planning to eat eet.

Ees eet a dragon? As een zhe creature zhat breazes fire?

[hasstandards]

I don't really know. The only other one around was dead when I found it.

[not_onyourside]

Just keep eet away from me.

[hasstandards]

It ain't even hatched yet.

[not_onyourside]

What eef eets basting een fire een zhat egg?!

[hasstandards]

It's more likely that Pyro'd be setting it over a flame, isn't it?

[not_onyourside]

Keep bozh of zhem away from me.

[hasstandards]

At least it oughtta keep her busy once it's hatched. Maybe she won't even know you're there.

[Insert some mumbling here about how he wished it'd do the same for other people.]

[not_onyourside]

What was zhat? What are you mumbling about over zhere?

[hasstandards]

Nothing.

[Back under the hat he goes.]

[not_onyourside]

I see.

[He's going to confiscate that thing one day.]

Well, I hope she enjoys whatever eet ees when eet hatches.

[hasstandards]

Right. Me too.

[A sigh from under the hat.]

[not_onyourside]

Are you sure you are alright?

[hasstandards]

I said it's nothing.

[That's not a good enough answer for Spy, and he knows it. He tries again, knowing he owes his friend better than that.]

I'm just thinkin' too hard on what all might've happened while I was away.
