"He's right," he said. "You'll have to remain on board the Agreet."
"I will go in your stead, your Highness," Slan said firmly.
"Very well," said Loong unhappily.
"I will make the arrangements," said Slan. "We will use number seven scout."
He excused himself and left the group, while Loong turned to Savage.
"I am beginning to understand why we have not been able to completely subdue your people. Tell me, what is your Terran name?"
Savage told him.
"I have studied one of the Terran languages a bit—English, I believe it is called—and it seems that your name is also a word. What does it mean?"
"Untamed," Savage said.
"Aha!" said Loong.
