It's cold.

I'm almost glad.

I could stand to sleep for a week.

Anybody wants me, I'm on the side of the lake opposite the village. Where the lake widens there's a big tree with a spread of thick roots that go down off the bank into the water. I'll be asleep there. Disturb at your own risk.

A.. A week?

You sound like the Turrin at home..

[songofthedeep]

Zets, right?

I'm cold-blooded. Cold makes me want to curl up somewhere and sleep like the dead.

.. Your blood is cold? But you'd be dead, wouldn't you..?

Er.. Geez, nevermind. Confused.

No, like a fish. See, you're warm-blooded. Your body temperature regulates itself. Mine changes with the outside temperature. When it gets cold, my metabolism slows down, which makes me super-sleepy, which is why I'm gonna hibernate.
