Finding The Sollers

Why did you choose birds' eggs? asks Terence.

I don't know, why did we? asks Shorty-Tartus.

Had to choose something, says Quiet-Tartus. Now we've seen them. Let's go.

Gaius said Terence has to stay near the birds' eggs, says Roo-kai.

Okay, we'll go, says Quiet-Tartus.

Where will you go? asks Terence.

To see the stuffed possum, says Quiet-Tartus.

That's not fair, says Terence.

Being stuffed is never fair, says Quiet-Tartus.

Ha ha! laughs Shorty-Tartus. 

The frogs hop away in search of the stuffed possum.

I'll stay with you, says Roo-kai. I find solace in these birds' egg arrangements.

The birds' eggs are straining to hear what Roo-kai is saying.

Those eggs are moving! says Terence.

Are you sure? asks Roo-kai. Why yes, those two are vibrating.

Maybe they want to talk to us, says Terence.

Or hear what we're saying, says Roo-kai.

I bet they can't hear us, says Terence.

He puts his face up to the glass and shouts, ROO-KAI finds SOLLERS!

You  embarrass me, says Roo-kai.

Look! says Terence. There's a keyhole!  Let's find the key!

We can't leave this position, says Roo-kai.

You can, says Terence. I'll stay. You go and find it.

Then what? asks Roo-kai.

Open the case and get the eggs out, says Terence.

Out? says Roo-kai. Originally you thought they wanted a conversation.

Just go! says Terence.

Roo-kai goes. This is something like spying and after all, he is a decorated French spy.

Terence mimes what is going to happen, in front of the glass.

The two closest eggs become excited.

Can we be the sollers? they wonder.
