"What do you mean?" Simon asked. The thing was that Simon didn't really know who this person was, so he didn't really care much for him, so that's why he's not all THAT worried.

"I don't know that much," Duncan replied with a smile that was crooked, which gave Simon an unsure feeling. "But I do know someone who might be of help."

"Who?" Simon wondered if all of that was worth it. Couldn't we just ask one of the nurses if he's dead?

"He likes to go by the name, Swampy," Duncan answered, "and he's one with the environment."

Simon knew the King wouldn't allow them to go right before the mining part of the day, so he asked Duncan, "How is the King gonna allow us to do this?"

Duncan forgot about this, and shrugged his shoulders.

Both of them didn't know if this was just a miracle or just a coincident, but all of a sudden they heard a loud, royal voice call, "ALL DWARF'S COME O'ER 'ERE!" They both knew who it was. It was the King dwarf calling for dinner.

At the dinner table, thousands of dwarves filled the tiny seats that were available. Duncan and Simon tried to decide who would ask the dwarf king, but they could not hear themselves over the chitter chatter that the other dwarves were making and decided to use motions.

Pointing at the other person meant "you". Moving your hand like you were slicing something sideways meant "no". Making the motion of cutting your head meant "I will kill you if you don't do it". After a while of arguing and rude gestures, the King spoke up and they didn't have to choose...

"Duncan and Simon," he said in his royal and deep voice, "what is the update of dis fine young man we see before us."

"Uhh, well, you see," Simon and Duncan both stutter.

"LET IT OUT!" The King was restless to hear the news.

"He's.." Duncan tried to say, but then Simon literally blurted this out,

"He's not so good your highness, and we need to take him to Swampy so that he could help us help this poor soul, sire!"

"Oh, is that it?" The King got up with a mean look on his face. Simon nodded, he hoped he didn't make the King mad.

Suddenly, his mood from mad, to sad. "Hahah! Well why didn't you say so! Begone after your dinner me two brave citizens!"

Simon and Duncan both looked at each other like they thought it was too easy! For it was, was it?

After dinner, Simon and Duncan continued to drag Lewis' body across the floor to reach the outside. Climbing up the ladder was the hardest. Ever tried to carry a fainted body up a ladder? I haven't..

When Duncan and Simon got up the ladder, they high-fived each other and walked towards Swampy's domain. They both hoped that Lewis would be alright after this.
