He was starving, and he had a feeling Vikus wasn't the kind of guy to leave out any details. The dining room was off the High Hall. A table had been set for eight. Gregor hoped Dulcet would be joining them, but after tucking Boots in a sort of high chair, she backed up several feet from the table and stood. Gregor didn't feel comfortable eating with her standing there, but he thought he might get her in trouble if he said something.
Neither Vikus nor Solovet took a chair, so Gregor decided to wait, too. Soon Luxa swept into the room in a dress that was a lot fancier than the clothes she'd worn in the stadium. Her hair was loose and fell like a shiny silver sheet to her waist. She was with a guy who Gregor guessed was about sixteen. He was laughing at something she'd just said. Gregor recognized him from the stadium. It was the rider who'd felt cocky enough to lie down on his bat as they'd swirled around his head. But the guy gave him such a friendly look that Gregor decided not to jump to conclusions.
Luxa was annoying, but most of the other Underlanders were okay. Here among all these strange names was a Henry. Henry gave Gregor a low bow and came up grinning. Then he grabbed Gregor's arm and spoke in his ear in a dramatically hushed voice. It was a joke.
These people actually had a sense of humor. A large gray bat fluttered into a chair near Vikus, and everyone else took a seat. They are bonded to Luxa and myself," said Vikus, extending a flexed hand to the gray bat on his right.
Euripedes brushed the hand with his wing. Luxa and her golden bat Aurora performed the same exchange. Gregor had thought the bats were like horses, but now he could see they were equals. Did they talk? Yeah, they talked. Gregor began to wonder if his fish dinner would want to chat as he sliced into it. But beyond our alliance, individual bats and humans may form their own union.
That is called bonding. He'd said something wrong again. It had seemed like he was making fun of something serious. Henry snorted with laughter. At least it could be counted on not to run away in battle. I suppose you could throw a crawler Neither he nor Solovet were laughing. He turned to Luxa and Henry.
Perhaps when you can comprehend the reason for their longevity you will have more respect for them. Or so it will be in some five years when she comes of age to rule," said Vikus. They do not need to be warriors to shift the balance of power in the Underland. An awkward pause stretched into an embarrassing silence. Gregor thought he understood what Vikus had meant. The crawlers would make better friends than enemies, and humans shouldn't go around insulting them.
To Gregor's relief, the food arrived, and an Underlander servant placed a half circle of small bowls around him. At least three contained what looked like various types of mushrooms.
One had a ricelike grain, and the smallest contained a handful of fresh greens. He could tell by the skimpy portion that the leafy stuff was supposed to be a big treat. A platter with a whole grilled fish was set in front of him.
The fish resembled the ones Gregor was used to except it had no eyes. This petition is here to get all gregor fans to petition to suzanne collins to write a sixth book.
