Twelve thousand years, dirt rat!

Do you have any idea how long ''twelve thousand'' years is?"

'''Digger:'''4.5 billon years, give or take.\\
'''Statue:''' Ah yes, I forget that it is difficult to by mystical and cryptic to a species with a highly developed science of geology. Regardless, the Earth is ''old'' burrower, old beyond telling, and many ages have passed of which you or I am ignorant. Strange things have walked the Earth in ages past, and vanished, and left little to mark their passing.

Skin-painter paints skin of child, no reason. Just is.

'''Shadowchild''': "No... I could get in your head if you want, but it looks kind of crowded. I'm amazed there's room for you in there.

->'''Digger''': "I am unclean! I practically wallow in my own filth. Dung beetles wouldn't touch me, I'm depraved and unclean and I smell funny! I'd hate to think what would happen to any creature that tried to eat me. I'd imagine it'd be ''quite'' the defiling experience!"\\
