[IC] A Stolen Land

[Nexendia]

The kobolds look at Nexendia in an odd manner (Darnit, as a prose writer I hate that I'm no longer allowed to use 'queer' as a synonym for 'odd'!)

"That what we say, right?"

"In a roundabout way.  But I wanted to hear you say it so there was no misunderstanding."

Nexendia listens to Valdi. [Since the kobolds agree that the totem is still here, Nex does not say the last statement about waiting.]  "Do you have any ideas how we might test the mites?  Luring one or two out would be a good start.  Too bad we don't have anything that might enrage the mites and make them reckless enough to be drawn into our ambush."  Nexendia side-eyes the kobolds.
