I don't think he's interested. Anyhow, we all live in close quarters and it feels like it could get messy. I don't like messy, I like fun and easy. And I'm not hurting for people to have fun with. Though I do have responsibilities these days. For one of us, I run errands for her and she is giving me a proper education in exchange.

[That really covers more than just controlling power. Mat's never had any formal schooling of any kind, he knows he's lucky he can even read. There's a lot to be learned from Lady Yennefer and he's damned grateful she's been willing to take him on as a student.

Maybe he'll actually make something of himself after all.

He laughs when Julie offers a bit more insight on the platypus, but really, it sounds as though he did rather well with this one.]

Do they? Well, I think this fellow can do without a venom spur. Now if we wait a moment...we'll see the narwhal. It's not as big as I think they really are, but it lives in a little lake and not the sea.

[Whatever Julie may be expecting, what surfaces in the lake is something that looks more like a bear than anything else. Furry, though flippered like a walrus, roughly the size of a grizzly. But with gills along its neck and a single cow-like horn coming up out of it's very bearish snout.

Mat tried.]
