Ouroboros Spine The trouble was...

...that he was talking in philosophy but they were listening in gibberish.”

Terry Pratchett, "Small Gods"

Up! You useless pound of flesh!

Kau cocked an ear, when she heard a voice talk inside her head, quite unlike the gibberish other giants in her world spoke. Then she slo-o-o-owly opened one eye (not realizing that the other was not cooperating, not knowing - really - that she was supposed to have two eyes instead of one) and without moving her head peeked around. No one of importance was nearby. She blinked few times, yawned, scratched a flee away from her belly, rolled and prepared to continue to nap.

Don't you dare!!!

Now this was interesting - she lifted her head, wagged her tail and woofed, and waited for a response.

Move!

She did not understand a word, but the game had become exciting! Kau got to her feet and began to amble awkwardly around the den, sniffing and searching for the one, who was talking.
