Trigger knew about Vethi sponges and their addicts, though she hadn't seen either before.
We hope to breed them past the speech barrier so they can tell us what they do instead of seeing.... All right, Pilli. Run along!" She said to Balmordan, "I believe he doesn't like that Vethi thing of yours very much." Balmordan nodded. "I had the same impression." Perhaps, Trigger thought, that was why Pilli had been lurking so close to them.
