Because either way you cannot breathe

With Zavien's permission, Soh began to gently move scales around, removing one here and placing it there, slowly but surely using her artist's eye to duplicate the drawing that the dragoon had shown her.

They could hide amongst the shelves and run through the nearby aisles - as long as they were careful.

"It's not that exciting, I'm afraid. I was in the Oerwoud on a mapping expedition - I was a cartographer, you see, back before I was the Heart. I heard something while I was mapping the Undergrove, and I looked around in the bushes, and there he was. He was just a baby, and I was about to start looking for where he'd come from, but then the bond just sort of... snapped into place. We've been together ever since." It had been a great blessing. While she hadn't specifically gone to the gods for Tarak, she had no doubt that they had placed the little griffin in her path that day.

No need to pray
No need to speak
