> Look menacingly at Mystia.

>You sigh and fight the urges. You can do it, Patchy!
>"Got no use for bird oil." says Suwako.
>"I was hoping you would have a clever plan," says Kanako with a chuckle. "Ah well. Have you anything else to add?"

Wriggle will also apologize (stare at Wruggle menacingly) properly to Suwako, but she needs to shake hands and forgive her before we move on. Deal?"

>"It's a good thought," says Suwako, now sounding calm and oddly professional. "But using magic on the frogs or the oil messes up the purity. Otherwise I would have done it some time ago. I thought about breeding bigger ones, but that would just cause them hereditary problems, and that's irresponsible."

How do I know whether you've tried cross-breeding, hormonal manipulation or setting up dedicated farms? You mentioned that purity suffers if magic is involved, yet I don't know if you've attempted to manually purify the resultant oil, and what the loss is."

>"I've been doing this for millenia, kiddo," says Suwako. "Pretty much if it can be done, I've tried it. And once you pollute the oil, that's it. Even if you clean it, it doesn't come back. The damage is conceptual, you see. And some of those things you mentioned aren't so good for the frogs, so that ruins it before you can start." If nothing else, Suwako has stopped glaring death at everyone now. "That's the trick, if you mess with the frogs too much, it ruins the oil. The oil has to be in service to the frog, not the frog to the oil, or it's no good."
