It's the next night, and Seafood's getting the nag and wagon to fly again, to drop you off close-ish to va Ork land.
Since Seafood is in such a good mood from suddenly getting so many weird noo dedders n gubbins heaped onnim you figger you might prod him a liddle for gibbz. Nuffin reely much, juzt a new [Helff Swigga]: you know you'll be getting in foits alla time, hanging round Oiks.
You begin to ply with a good rubdown flattery, quite loudly admiring GOLDIE, your spiffy new noiff. You cook a liddle meat on the flat of it, peel it orf to snakk on, smakking your lips. It tastes kindy sick to be honnist, so you don't take more than a couple narms, but you praise Seafood wiv your meof full.
"<span class="mu-r">GOLDIE's roit handy she is. She slashies n slicies n cookies n burnies. Howz yez doit Sweetfudds. Juzt mooshen mettalz inner lumps n fings. Reel spiffy Sweetfudds. Even va Dorfs carnt pull dis shit.</span>"

Yup: all buttered up. Time to make your sell.

He considers it.
"Dagger. Give." You hand GOLDIE over. He flicks it, rolling it over his palm and backhand.
He steps on one of the shrunken heads under his seat with a bare foot, and it blackens, smoking and screaming; GOLDIE shimmers a bit. You didn't even see him fling it, but it's thudded on a wagon-post just at your neck. When you pluck it out the wood you see it's taken a finer, nicer shape cosmetic, wiv gnarly squiggles written onna.
