Sharkbait, ooh ha ha

There was just enough of a wait time between his call and the arrival of the first sister for Tau to find all sorts of fire-ready goodies. He had a couple smallish rocks that varied in shape and a pair of small branches as well as one (boring) crumbled up leaf. The boy was scowling at the leaf trying to decide if it was worth anything at all when Raesa showed up. As soon as her voice reached his ears he brightened considerably, his excitement evident. "Consider your troops rallied. Whadja find?" He beamed at her. "As a matter-" he began just as Naudir arrived. "Not a dragon!" He wiggled in barely contained excitement, but decided not to spill the beans just yet. "You just gotta see!" After grabbing the bigger of the two branches Taufr spun away and began to make his way back towards the tunnel he'd come from. With the stick clamped between his teeth he slurred, "Noh ques'ionss! Jut gab somet'ing 'n' cohm ohn!" His sisters' presence gave his confidence a boost. There was something about being (albeit temporarily) the leader that made it impossible for him to slink nervously down the corridor. He wasn't quite fearless, but having seen the river once already he kinda knew what to expect and that helped somewhat. Finally he stood just outside the "doorway" that led into the expansive cavern that housed part of the fire river. The entrance was smallish and while he didn't quite fill it up, Taufr did his best to block his sisters' view of what lay beyond. There was no hiding the sound of the river though, or the smell...or for that matter the heat...but whatever, he was going to milk the suspense for all it was worth. With a mischievous grin he dropped the stick he'd been carrying and said in a loud voice to cut through the din, "I think I found Logi's den!" With that he decided he'd had enough with theatrics and, with a spring in his step, snatched up his branch and trotted through the entryway. |
