Ecotourism was good for Daryl the dwarf. And while he came from a long dynasty of hill dwellers that had traditionally been quite eccentric, he was getting used to frequent visitors. His relatives didn't help much; they suffered from social dysfunction. But they were dwindling each year and someone had to find a way to carry on their legacy. Daryl brushed off his dusty jacket and went outside to gather some food. The earthbound life required no grocery stores, only time gathering edible plants and berries. It was darker than usual for nighttime, but that was because of the eclipse. When Daryl heard a small noise, he ducked his head with ease. The bat, guided by echolocation, would never have hit him; the echoes would have located Daryl's head. But he had moved as a reflex.生态旅游对侏儒达里尔来说是有好处的。达里尔出身于一个历史悠久的山地居民王朝，而那些山地居民从传统上来讲很有些古怪，但他对经常有游客过来已经慢慢在习惯。亲戚们帮不了多少忙，因为他们在社交方面有障碍。但他们的人数每年在减少，得有人想办法继承他们的遗产。达里尔掸了掸满是灰尘的夹克衫，出去找一些吃的。靠土地吃饭的生活不需要杂货店，只需要有时间采集可以食用的植物和浆果。这天晚上比平时更黑，但那是因为出现了月食。达里尔听到了一点儿响声，他轻松地低下了头，因为蝙蝠有回声定位的指引是不会撞上他的。回声会定位达里尔头部的位置，但他还是本能地动了一下。
