Is that not normal?", "Um...I don't think so? I guess I don't know that many iguanas. Being a king keeps me pretty busy.", "Haha you're a king? What are you doing out here in this cactus field all alone?", "It is my duty to make decisions that are best for my people. But, I was raised as royalty. I have never lived as a common person. It is very difficult. I needed some time to think, away from those who have always lived as I have. And maybe a chance to meet and speak with ordinary people. ", "Thats great! Im glad you think that way. You must be a great king.", "I...I don't know about that. Sometimes I wish I were never king. What if I make the wrong decision?", "Well nobody is perfect, and someone has to make the decisions for the rest of the people. I'm sure you are doing a good job.", "I hope so...So what is it like, being an iguana?", "Well I pretty much just walk around all day eating bugs.. Its never anything to worry about except when scary men with spears chase me. I can climb trees so thats pretty cool. Whats it like being king?", "I hate it. There's so much pressure! Everyone always looks to me to make decisions. I am responsible for deciding the fate of this entire country. But I don't know what is best. I don't even know how someone figures out what is best." ]

Nothing interesting like that happens in Eldersville.", "The way I see, dragons going to be awful busy if they want to burn up every small farm, so I ain't too a-feared. Still, strange times these days...", "Haha i guess you're right. I heard the big city is preparing their troops for if any decide to attack are them.", "Fish don'", "Didn't catch anything? That's too bad. I guess its time I get going anyways. I already caught 2 trouts so Ill bring them home for dinner." ]
