Mohitani runs into Il'ad again in the living caverns. This time, the two get a little more personal; Mo offers to teach him how to fish and the greenrider accepts.

Mohitani and Nu leave S'lo and head to the caverns to get a warm drink. Unfortunately, Urmeerdouloth sees it as a perfect opportunity to set one of his grand plans into motion: Get them companions. And his first target? Il'ad, baby maker extraordinaire.
