Re: To the ziggurat
Fernao really wants to get to the wine drinking part of the adventure, so he helps his old friend load the corpses onto the wagon. As they check the bodies for valuables he says, "It is not so much unlike picking flowers, Broood. Even in a meadow covered with them not every flower will be worth picking. One must search out carefully for the loveliest, which are the ones one wants to weave into one's art. So, it is the same as we pick through these for things worth value, I think."
