Masati: Ah, that's good.
Larina: How have the mines been?
Masati: Well; the iron has been coming up steadily.
Larina: Ah. Good. What is on your back?
Masati: An Ulbernaut's fur!
Larina: It is very pretty, from such a foul beast.
Masati: Indeed. And warm for when the cold comes.
Larina: Can I feel it?
Masati: Go ahead.
Larina: It is so soft.
Masati: Indeed. Very. It also makes a nice blanket for the bed.
Larina: I see...
Masati: Ah well... I suppose I had better head to my Utlic; it is getting fairly late and I have to go to the mines in the morning!
Larina: See you tomorrow then?
Masati: Most definitely.
Larina: Good night!
