Hogs. It had been hogs? That awful squealing had been a pig? Elcid had a hard time believing that something so scary sounding could be a pig, but then... well, she'd never seen a hog or pig alive before. She'd only seen them dead. The leopard mentioned having tried using their magic. Magic! Slowly the fear was leaving her, and the instincts screaming at her to be careful were beginning to lose their vigor. The leopard mentioning magic had sparked a curiosity in her.
The other's grumpiness cautioned Elcid from probing with her next question, but she threw caution to the wind, especially when the leopard introduced herself as Roxanne. "Hi Roxanne. I like that name. My name is Elcid. You have magic? What kind of magic do you have?" Did she have magic like Zane where she could make plants do all sorts of wild crazy things? Did she have magic like herself? Maybe she had some new sort of magic, like Dos had!
