Upon snatching up the bag, it begins shuddering violently and emitting high pitched squealing noises. Inside, two young boar piglets with striped fur and crumbs all over their faces struggle to escape the bag.
Zork breaks out in laughter.
"The fey have materialized into piglets. Surprise, I thought they would have tried snakes."
Then he covers his mouth in case anyone was listening.
Mykael gives Zork a look of disappointment, "Fey" He moans as he holds up his backpack fighting to keep it closed amidst the struggle of the small boars "here I thought we had caught breakfast!"
He raises the sack to eye level but holds it out away from his face watching the backpack jump and wiggle in his grip, a hungry gleam in his eye "You sure these are fey Zork?" With a tone that suggests he's truly hoping Zork will recant and declare them nothing more than stray boar cubs, but at the same time not counting on it.

"Come on Mykael its a hearty laugh... But I do wish that the fey were pigglets because I could make them bacon by the next morning!" Zork continues to laugh.
Archival and Caelum share a chuckle at the confusion and begin readying Midnight for the day's journey. “I think he meant it as a Joke Mykael. We assumed they were Fey when in fact they were just piglets. It makes one wonder where their mother is...” Realization dawns on Archival and he prepares himself for a potential battle with an angry mother boar while Caelum peers about and listens for a potential threat.

Mykael looks embarrassed and tries to pass it off like he knew it was a joke all along "Oh yeah, I know" He tells Archival giving a nervous laugh his cheeks turning a slight reddish hue. "Bacon sounds pretty good, you sure you want me to let them go Theaton?"
Unlike Archival, he is oblivious to the possibility that the piglets mother may be nearby "We could slice em up and roast em real quick...it would be better than eating trail rations don't you think?"
