“Is right, possibly-cute big monster,” called out Yo. “Is we can all be happy as bunnies if only we are getting along.”

The Yurt looked from the pure thought being to the capped crusader.

“This might just work,” Uhuna breathed.

The Yurt swayed for a moment, then lashed out at Hatman. “Puny cap-man thinks he can confuse Yurt, but Yurt cannot be more confused! Yurt is the dumbest one there is!”
