Dragoncrest Cliffs planet's mad

"It's not that bad in the forest. There are trees to stop the wind and keep the snowfall at a decent level," Merlin explained, not seeing any problem with his suggestion. The roomy cavern behind Coon did not seem as appealing. For some reason, caverns in cliffs gave him creeps. He reasoned that it was the knowledge that all this giant slab of rock could come down on his head suddenly. And he wished to live many good years. So - no, thank you!

"Unless you are afraid of blizzards," he added and you could not guess this time, whether it was again his general ignorance to customs and people or whether he was implying that Coon was a coward. More likely first, but, who said that guys that are not right in the head cannot be a bit of jerks?
