"What's wrong with the swallows building nests?"
"Do you eat bird's nest?"
Adrian Desmond looked disgusted. "Swallow's saliva? I wouldn't eat that stuff; it's bizarre."
"Bird's nest is actually good stuff. Sixth Master really doesn't know what's valuable."
"Does anyone usually go to that island?"
"No! This island, and the fifty nautical miles surrounding it, are all my territory. Without my permission, no one is allowed in! If anyone intrudes and doesn't listen after a warning, I have the right to kill them!"
"Adrian, take me there!" Sienna Johnson said excitedly.
"If you want to see the swallows, I'll take you tomorrow." Just swallows, what's so interesting about that? Adrian thought disdainfully.
"No! I want to go now!"
