[video] Searching for parents

[emet_sulk]

[ Emet-Selch looks a little harried and stressed today when the video feed begins. There is a little axolotl clinging to a front lock of his hair, gently chewing. He either doesn't notice or doesn't care as there is urgency to his gaze and tone. ]

Should anyone encounter a pair of ambystomae - I mean, axolotls - with a carnivorous tendency, please abstain from killing them immediately and inform me of their location. I need to return their child to them.

[ This won't stop anyone killing the many axolotls involved in the search but he has to hope he finds the parents before they're accidentally killed. ]

Ah. Yes, I can see where that would be the problem...

[Kaveh pauses. And smiles a little ruefully.]

I was wondering if you just had a soft spot for amphibians, even when they're carnivorous and angry.

[ The axolotl, tired of chewing his hair, now wiggles and starts to climb up his fringe (with a little support from Emet-Selch) to sprawl on top of his head while they talk. ]

This one is but a child. I'm not in the habit of terrorising children, no matter who their parents may be. Hythlodaeus considered attempting to teach it to eat other forms of red meat rather than humans, but we won't have time for that now.
