Gefty shivered. One of the things he'd learned from Maulbow's ravings
was the real reason he and Kerim had been taken along on the trip. He
didn't feel like telling Kerim about it just yet, but it had been solely
because of Maulbow's concern for his master's creature comforts. The
janandra could go for a long time without food, but after fasting for
several years on the moon, a couple of snacks on the homeward run would
have been highly welcome.
And the janandra was a gourmet. It much preferred, as Maulbow well knew,
to have its snacks still wriggling-fresh as it started them down its
gullet.
"No," Gefty said, "I couldn't call either of them really nice."
