Yuck-uh

Skælingr found a nice place away from the crowd to work on making a bit more rope. Now that Sowelu had joined him he might actually be able to get some made. Skælingr set down the piece of deer hide he was using to carry the yucca leaves. They were tricky to harvest and tricky to carry, the leaves of this particular variety were sharp and he didn't care to have them in his mouth any longer than he had to. Selecting one large leaf he picked it up and set it down on a long flat stone. Determined to try and do a bit of this himself he picked up another stone in his mouth and dropped it on the yucca plant to try and loosen the fibers. After doing this a few times he set the rock down on top of the plant and tried leaning over with his paws. Sowelu watched with amusement then started laughing at his friends struggles. "Ok, ok, this is painful to watch. Let me help." The lemur grabbed a stone in his nimble hands and brought it crashing down on the leaf, blow after blow. Skælingr took a moment to lick the taste of mud and rock out of his mouth, yuck! "I'm jealous, Lu. You have no idea how hard it is to make nice things with large, awkward paws." Still, he was determined to help. When they finished the first leaf and started on another Skælingr alternated between dropping the rock and laying it down and doing a partial hop to force his body weight onto the stone. "Speech" |
