Grot stopped at Daystar's desk. "Okay, they're working on it."
"Good," said Daystar, without looking up from the appeal that he was writing. "Let me know when it's done."
Grot must have hesitated a moment too long, because Daystar stopped writing and looked up. "Anything else?"
Grot shook his head. "I just hope they're up to this one."
Daystar shrugged. "They're getting better at this... though that will become a problem in itself at some point. Did they argue about it?"
Grot shook his head. "No, they seemed pretty resigned."
"There's that, at least," Daystar paused, considering, then said: "Let me know if they start sounding rebellious."
Grot nodded. "I will."
"Meanwhile, the stronger they get the more use they are to us. And it's not as if they aren't receiving plenty of compensation for their work."
Grot tilted his head, then nodded. "Maybe I should remind them of that."
"Maybe you should," Daystar told him.
