Interesting. Why do you imagine Galby was holding on to them? (Control, personal favor?)
Probably so if it came to it he'd have some new powerful minions quickly on hand. Or he wanted to start up a government program for the protection and repopulation of endangered species.
That sounds really cool.
It was a lot of fun to write. I'd put him in this situation where he was unarmed and stuck in a room with nothing but a bed and a toilet, so I had to really use my imagination through him to figure out how he was going to get out of this one. Use bedsheets to block the toilet, make the toilet overflow so water would go under the door and attract a guard, then stand ready with the cistern lid and bash the guy's head in the moment he opens the door to investigate. Then grab a broken piece of porcelain to use as a crude knife, take the guard's gun and make a break for it. Eragon would have just sat there complaining until someone came and rescued him.
