Noerdeber's ears perked up then, but all he did was to slowly walk back towards the inner court as he beckoned Kobus to follow.
"Ahh, Beredin, it looks like the King doesn't want you to do anything eh? Maybe you got too big for your britches." Henry paused, looking at Beredin's dapper duds approvingly. "On the plus side, you do dress well, something I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."
"Fool, he walked away specifically as a means of giving me his blessing to wail on your sorry human hide. And it was the ears that did it."
Thus then it turned back
To the normal normal
As Beredin then grabbed hold
Of poor Henry poor
And taught him as not again
To so touch a rabbit's ears
Noerdeber stopped. "When you've finished your conversation with "our friend" Henry, do take him to our "finest" human accomadations."
