"It's not a laughing issue anymore. Did you not see how she disrespected me earlier?" said Elder Goat Beards.

"Are you sick in the head? First, the humans are our enemies, so killing them is also a part of our job. And second, you think if we openly decide to attack the queen we won't die? Don't forget the council has let her have her way with the sacred rule, so they'd intervene."
