not too sha-bee

His voice seemed to be getting deeper by the day and sometimes it was easy to forget that he was so young still. His gaze was hard as she offered up a limited plan and he stated that he deserved half of whatever she harvested. ”I would never take advantage of you, Chimera. You’re doing most of the heavy lifting, I’d be happy to give you more than half.” She offered him with raised brows. She could predict what he would do but she hoped for a surprise.

Either way the boy got into position and so did Venom, standing back and finding cover in the foliage. Likely she would get some stings herself, but maybe not. Maybe Chimera was a bee whisperer.

No, he was definitely not, as made clear as he swung the log and brought teh beehive down. Without hesitation Chimera raced off and Venom held her breath for a long moment before moving herself. The hive wasn’t all honey comb, and though she was getting stung herself she was able to seperate the two. She grabbed the branch with most of the comb and booked it. Her stings stung, but the sweet taste of honey in her mouth was worth it. Already she got excited about her plan to share it with Azure.

She was on the other side of the island when she stopped. Chest heaving with every labored breath. The bees were gone though and she had their spoils. She set the huge comb at her feet and looked to her brother. ”Alright, take what you want.” Even one small part of the comb would be plenty to share with Azure. Though she wondered what Chimera would do wth his.
