"Saarah have you heard? Phrog has agreed to be cloned. He is reluctant about it. Something about a sacrilege to his DNA and how he would have to give up some of the territory ceded to him by the Dragons when the peace treaty was signed. I know it was humiliating for him to have to make obeisance to the Supreme Dragon but as LaGi was master of ceremonies and insisted on the gesture he had to do the dirty deed. It was the only way he could safely leave the underground crumbling city. It had started to degenerate when there was an early thaw. We must make more than token efforts to combat global warming."

"Yes Saydie I heard all about it when I was making arrangements for my official portrait with Phrog. (Do you like it?) Of course I had to pay for it from my personal bank account as Phrog is too cheap to part with any of his money. He claims that sitting for the portrait left a pain in his shoulder bone that was unbearable. I suppose if he doesn't stop whining I shall have to become a widow. I just can't take much more of this. Perhaps I shall return to California. They have cute dragons there."

Official Portrait of Phrog and Saarah Salamander. Saarah is the one on the right. I don't think she looks much like a Salamander but the artist was a Phrog and somewhat challenged.
