The Howdah and the Rhino

Stablemaster Kibben loads Donut into Ferdinand’s ornate howdah atop Simoom the albino rhino so the Posse can meet King Rust mount-to-mount, while Mongo and Rend whine at being left behind. Carl plans to stall and enrage the slumped, weary king to provoke an early attack, but as the parlay bubble closes around them, Donut pulls back the veil and asks why the orc is crying.
