If hezzi wasn't perched on his shoulders he might very well have struck ander right then and there.
"what is that?" hezzi asked and pointed at the cage, temporarily diverting banno's anger.
"by the cora, that's a fox!"

I do not have any sons of my own, or little brothers, or any family at all, but i do know that hezzi loves you very, very much, and that is why i am giving you this warning."
