The term 'quackbeasts' is far too amusing to Cuthbert and he laughs at it, even if he knows what Signless means.

The other questions are more puzzling than amusing, he isn't sure how to describe it to someone unfamiliar with humans as a whole.

"I'm human, pure threaded, no mutie in me. I've no way else to describe it, we're the only ones about where I'm from. I should ask the same of thee, you call yourself 'troll' but I cannot believe you're the sort to live in caves and under bridges."
