Portho continues the smalltalk with the elk for some minutes, even going as far as mimicking her movements of grazing to feel at ease then motions to Toot to return to the party.
Once the small folk are back, Portho summarises what he learned.
"The animals came here to have 'fresh' water but this is very dangerous because there is a 'very hungry beast' that 'comes from water' at least twice a day, but not in regular times. It 'looks like a lizard but flies like a bird'. She indicated the river to the east."
He emphasises the words that are direct quotes of the conversation; at least, as much as that primitive language can be translated to common.
