“It is one I had not thought of,” admitted Piro.
“And do you think it a good one?” said Kytraan.
“I must consider it.”
“Oh,” said Tazendra, “we have nothing against considering.”
“No, indeed,” said Kytraan. “I, myself, have been known to consider on occasion, and would scarcely begrudge another’s chance to consider.”

“That is good,” said Kytraan.
“Yes. I could not tell, or I should not have asked,” said Tazendra.

“And you should be. But, your pardon, I am considering.”
“Of course,” said Tazendra, falling silent.
