"Coins. And we have a few of them, but not enough to buy anything big with."

"Yes, thank you Breden. We haven't the coims or a whole lot that humans could want. And we shouldn't steal the coims, either, not after what happened last year with Rom and the merchant." Breden would have corrected the chief's pronunciation of "coims", but he didn't see the need to drag this conversation out."

"-you have permission to see whoever it is you wish to in the tribe if they need your help and are willing to accept it. If you hurt them, you'll have to answer to me. Is that understood?"
