It is with confidence I report that the native species here are generally of a friendlier nature. Their food is tolerable and they are easily persuaded to provide it to strangers.

They seem armed with rudimentary weapons. Theoretically any one of us could launch a successful attack and come away with minimal casualties.

If the need should arise, of course.

[The video shows Iris in selfie mode with her arms around two large, grizzled not-Ewoks. They make grunting noises and one of them keeps making a finger gesture at the camera that causes him and his companion to break into gruff, bearish giggles.

All three are wearing rather crooked flower crowns.]

'Ey, they've got some excellent 'ome-brew and all. And I know you're much too smart to attack 'em. Aren't you, love?

Fortunately, there is no strategic advantage to an attack.

Are you teaching them poor habits, Iris?

Oooh, I 'adn't thought of those! Most rainforests 'ave got some good ones, 'aven't they?

In theory. However, I have to admit ecology was not one of my stronger bodies of knowledge.

How long have you been drinking?

[routemistress]

Couldn't tell you, lovey. Easily upwards of nine 'undred years, now.

I meant more in the present term, but I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Making friends?
