The resistance

The badger grunted; he wasn't likely to get a lot more out of this one.

Quixote was waiting quietly for Saver to reply. /What's taking this guy so long?/ the wildcat thought.

<<I don't know is Firetooth has a different story for Saver>>
"Why should you care?" Saver muttered as he picked the fire idly.

"At least state your name," Quixote answered, "I don't recall hearing it yet."
