Karl smiled at the Dwarf. "I know that it sounds bad, but I promise that she has been taught all about property rights, and the difference between purchasing and looting."
"Did she care?" Thomas asked.
Karl shook his head. "Not particularly. But she's willing to listen, at least long enough to find out what sort of shiny objects she can purchase with the ones that she already has. You see, we made out rather well with the Bomgon Fleet, and she is not short on loot."
The Dwarves and the Dragonkin laughed at that. "A badger that has enough loot? That's like saying you know a Dryad who doesn't like flowers, or a vegetarian snake."
[I feel understood and appreciated.] Cara agreed, putting her paws over her heart as if touched by their words.
