Salsa hopped over, brimming with energy as usual. Although it had been a while since Kumatora and Wess had freed him from Fassad and he had returned the favor, he still did enjoy hanging around her; after all, what are friends for? Seeing Kumatora lying on the grass, no doubt bored out of her wits, he began chittering away as if to ask, "what adventure are we going on today?"

The small monkey curiously and somewhat frighteningly wandered closer to the dragon. Although he had seen many an interesting creature in the clutches of the pork army, he had never laid eyes on one quite this...majestic. Realizing he was staring, and how rude that was, especially to strangers, he decided to introduce himself. Mustering up the courage, he spoke, quietly at first, but then gaining in confidence, "Eek, ukie! Ookie ook eek, ukie ook ookie eekie. (Uh, hello there! My name's Salsa, it's a pleasure to meet you.)"
