"Have you ever heard the song of a cassie?" Luso asked Keitee. The strange look on his face showed that this promised to be an unusual, if not downright disturbing story.

"No, I have not. They were not common in my home region," the prety Viera noted.

"Well, you weren't with us when we went out to Zedlei to gather materials for Galmia Pepe to make more De'Vine Ribbons, but it turns out the main ingredient comes from farm-raised cassies. They're bright pink, huge, and stinky- but the weirdest part is that they sing!"

Keitee nodded thoughtfully and wrinkled her nose. She had never smelled a cassie before, but she had smelled other types of marlboros and found their odor utterlly repellant. Some old wives' tales stated that such foul creatures had arisen from compost heaps come to life.

"They made me hungry," Adelle remarked, draping herself over Luso's shoulder.

"Everything makes you hungry!" Allod laughed, wiping his goggles on his sleeve.

"So tell her more about the sound of the cassies' love song," Izabel prompted, sorting her staves on the other side of the cooking pot. She giggled a little, knowing how Luso's impression would sound. He had reproduced it earlier for Cid and left the clan leader in stitches.

"They make this deep gurgling noise from somewhere down in their throats," Luso explained, "And it sounds sort of like...gwargawarfala!"

Adelle dropped from Luso's shoulder, shaking with laughter. Allod held his sides, while Izabel wiped a stray tear from her eye. "Oh, Luso, that's just so, so terrible!"

"Wh-what in all Jylland was that?!" Keitee tittered. "Does a cassie really sing like that? You sounded like a dying Seeq!"

"Hey, we Seeqs find that kinda offensive," Cristoph, the lone Seeq in Clan Gully, muttered.

"You know it's nothing personal," Izabel told him, patting the hefty fellow on the back. She immediately regretted the action. Cristoph's bare skin was disgustingly sweaty.

"Laught with me, not at me, will ya?!" Luso protested, waving his arms.

"I wonder if doing cassie calls is a marketable skill..." Adelle mused.
