Lunchtime, snacktime, dinnertime, whatever!

Llamas produce small amounts of rich milk rather than the larger quantities produced by the domestic animals we're used to (and have enhanced through selective breeding). Babies nurse often, but not for particularly long. Camels, sharing the same family, have the same "strategy".

Elahn has his own milk bar. Although the rare female llama will allow other babies to nurse (and a few babies learn how to sneak up and steal a meal), it's overwhelmingly one-to-a-customer, and what's-mine-is-mine-period-spit-spit.
