Chapter 27
"So Naboo won't let you out?" Kulap asks. "That's insane!"
"Kulap, I'm sure Naboo has his reasons." Saboo says.
"What reason could he have for keeping Vince under house arrest?"
"He isn't under house arrest."
"What would you call it?" Jyrgal demands.
"He says it's for my own safety." I interject.
"But it isn't healthy." Kulap persists.
"What if we took you out?" Parri says suddenly.
"What, all of you?"
"Yeah. Naboo can't say you're unsafe if you've got 10 shamen and a squid with you."
"I am not a squid!" Tony yells. Everyone ignores him. I consider the offer.
"I suppose so. I can't ask him, though."
"Why not?" Saboo asks.
"There's no way he'd say yes to me. One of you has to ask him."
"We'll do it." Kulap and Jyrgal say in almost perfect unison.
"Are you sure?" Kioni asks. "No offence, but this is a sensitive issue and you two aren't the most sensitive people."
"What do you mean?" Kulap exclaims.
"We're very sensitive!" Jyrgal continues.
"What do you think, Vince?" Kulap asks.
"I think you should try."
"Are you sure, Vince?" Saboo asks.
"Yes. It's worth a try, at least." They grin.
"Brilliant. Naboo!"
