Members of the council exchanged glances after Paralain's request. Vera spoke through the collective hesitation. "With the reports you have been giving us up until this point, Paralain, I would not be wholly against letting one trained and guarded chaurus into the city. However, it stands that they are dangerous creatures and their venom has caused permanent scars on some of our scouts and soldiers. We would need your guarantee that you have taken all reasonable measures to keep this trial safe."

"I have a question as well," Darahil interjected before Paralain could respond. "The chaurus eggs have been most valuable. That supply alone is a reason to pursue domestication. However, which roles have you been pursuing with training them? A military application would be useful, of course, but I do not imagine that being simple. Using them as beasts of burden may save us using fickle horses in these dangerous caves and the chaurus are more suited to this habitat. Do you know how soon it would be to put them to work, if at all possible?"
