Oh... the guards thought the yinglet was an emaciated Fenethi (sand fox, for those less culturally sensitive)

Alas... there are actual Fenethi living at the temple, and there is a very simple question to ask: the sand foxes at the temple are all part of the garden staff, and so they share the primary loves of the more agricultural-minded of their people: lentils and hot chili peppers.

"clams" just doesn't even being to work.

Yinglets are from  Valsalia
