I convinced Keri to ride up on my shoulder, and I headed out of the town and towards the Fire Lake.
"Tell me about your people. What will happen if I take Lizy away? You make it sound like you reproduce a lot, so what does that mean?" I asked, unsure how to phrase it properly, but Keri seemed to understand what I was trying to get at.
"I get what you are saying, and yes, we do reproduce fast. It only takes about a week for us to have our children from conception, but we only do this often when there are threats because we have very little in the way that can hurt the things that attack us in our environment. Normally the heat is enough to keep normal creatures away, and the ones that do come are usually resistant to fire, or Immune like us," Keri explained, and I nodded.
That wasn't so bad, and the reasoning made sense in a weird kind of way, but it still did.
