Chapter seven vultures eyes flicked over Quigley and winter, assessing them at the speed of lightning. Then he returned his attention to the scavengers in the maze. Hold your tongues for a moment, he said. I want to see who wins. Then what you gonna do with them? Winter demanded. Vultures slowly lifted his head to stare it winter again. Eat the loser, he answered, and save the winner to try again tomorrow against the different one. I'm cares to see whether they can learn anything they can, Winter said. They're very intelligent, too intelligent to eat. Eating them would be cruel Winter, Quigley whispered. What a whimsical friend you've brought for my entertainment doctor said too quickly. He turned back to winter. You're quite wrong. Everyone agrees they're no smarter than mice, if you will, Right dragons would already know that, and no one would ever eat scavengers. And yet we eat them all the time ago. You must be mistaken, but winter started. It's perfectly normal to feel like your pet must think the way you do, Belcher said, And the condescension was spread so thick that quickly felt rubbing skills with sand. Get them clean. It's happened to many dragons, the camels rights movement, iguanas are dragons to save the scavengers. World Walrus fund. Very sweet and very misguided Savior Energy for dragons who can appreciate it. Stop arguing with them, quickly hissed out of the side of his mouth. He'd seen this a 1,000,000 times the way vulture could grind down anyone who disagreed with him or if his opponent argued back for too long, the way vulture was perfectly happy to win the most annoying argument with casual violence. I'll pay you for them, Winter said quickly. The two scavengers had found each other, and now one was trying to boost the other upto look over the walls. It certainly looked like intelligent behaviour too quickly, much more intelligent behaviour than what winter was doing. Right now, that was for sure. I'll buy them off you. I'm in the market for new pets, in fact. Oh, really, Prince Winter, said vulture, sitting back in his gilded chair. And how exactly do you intend to pay me when your family thinks you're dead and your royal funds have been cut off? In the silence, that fellow quickly tried to keep his breathing on track. He had already identified four possible escape routes, but none of them would work if you forgot to breathe. Vulture waved at the scavengers in the maze. Take them away, he said to a pair of dragons nearby. My visitors have ruined my experiment today. Anyway, we'll try again tomorrow. The Dragons about took either side of the board supporting the maze and carried the scavengers out of the room while they were still trapped inside.
