Lyra thought that Diver was a magical creature but Diver was nothing of the sort. But, her kind did swim with playful mermaids a long, long time ago. Aside from that the tapir had no magic whatsoever. Once Lyra appeared Diver gave the canine a kind look. She spoke with a tone of upmost importance. "Lyra, I have a big favor to ask you. As you can see, well, I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a calf soon. Fall is upon us now, and I need shelter from the cold weather for me and my unborn calf. I was hoping if I could get a room for free?" Diver's kind did not do well in the cold. The inn would provide her shelter not only from the cold, but from the chilly breeze that came with it. Diver looked at Lyra with warm brown eyes hoping she would make an exception, that Diver wouldn't have to pay for a room.
