"I find it helps to have something prepared, and to rehearse."

He ponders then says "Mostly I like to boast about how I work for such good friends"

".... Work -with- such good friends." she corrects gently.

"Now you sound a bit like Salma, only easier to understand" he notes "She is forever getting fussy at me abou such things' Oddly he doesn't seem to mind

"Did you .... no, we'll talk about that later. Go and let your friends see the armor you earned." she encourages.

Salma trots up to admire Holger, tugging at the breastplate and making sure that it fits JUST SO. To hear her tell it, it's poorly fitted, but she seems to admire how it sits.

And he moves into the crowd and yes, Salma is there. He smiles

"And now off you go to learn more silly troll notions and next time you are SURELY going to be eaten up, and then who will reach the top shelves for me?" She scolds in fast spanish, but she doesn't actually sound upset.

"Gracious, Salma. Do not worry. Perhaps they will teach me to be even TALLER?"

"Then Ican reach more for you"

A sniff. "See that you do. I will pack books that you will report back on when you return, so you had best read them and not just run around smacking things with swords."

"Now Salma, sometimes smacking things with swords is useful" He points out "it helped with the Wyvern"

"Did you even ask it what it's favorite author was?"

"nooo" The troll boy admits

"Next time you will know."

"It wasn' really talking much" he points out

"But.. if I fight a Wyvern again I will try to remember?" A kind a sort of promise

"And tell me all about it. If there isn't a book about fighting Wyverns, we will write one."

"Si" He nods "One day, the Encylopedia Salma will be the envy of scholars everywhere" He does not joke

Her cheeks go a bit dusty rose. "Si, si, but first you must go find more wyverns to tell me about." Ducking back so that others can congratulate the troll.

And they do Tex wanting more deails on how it died ...

Ahpuch is also curious about where the venom went, but is sad to hear the tail is gone now

Ariel penceled some stuff "Holger, help slaying the wyvern!Holger! It dented his shield! Holger! Monster tried to unnerve him, but Holger! Would. Not. Yield! Holger! he's got the power! Holger! He's strong and blue! Holger! Night or day any hour! Holger will look after yoooooouuuuu!"

The troll boy has gone pinkish purple entirely

Jessica, perhaps mercifully, has faded away.
