I've never seen an angry tortoise,

super-cool, faintly ridiculous.

Slow and methodical,

intelligent.

Soft on the inside, hard as granite without.

Harmless. Modest. Quiet. Ancient.

Reasonable, perhaps, who knows.

ah, to see an angry tortoise, you need to be at their tortoise level. Who knows? Not me.
