Bramblepoint Forged from the ashes

Had Odette been interested in the nonesense (that made perfect sense to Birk), he would have happily explained that "snot trolls" were little, horrible, smelly little bastards that dwelled under ice, fed on raw fish, liked to catch stranger's by their feet and - as their name implied - they had a constant cold. A snot Lauren without streaks of sticky snot coming from their nostrils was a very rare, if an impossible sight. As for the "kookers" - well, they were brainless creatures a mix between jelly-fish and some sort of a cloudy blob and you usually saw them, when you were delirious after eating too much of a rotten whale-meat. Whether they were real creatures or just another "green fairies" was something scientists still argued over.

But since she did not ask, Birk replied to questions she did place. "Birk from the Ice fields that definitely aren't from around here. What about you?"
