Yuck-uh

The older man agreed to let her help, and Aoife gave an excited hop in place and a soft yippee. Oh, they were making rope! Since it built on a skill she'd already been practicing, she was definitely excited to see this new method of making rope. She watched carefully as he demonstrated how to squish the leaves properly, then rocked back on her butt, picked up a stone in her paws, and smashed it down on the rock with a wet clink. Her tail wagged hard, raising a little cloud of dust behind her that she completely ignored as she hefted the rock again. And again. And again. It might have been boring if she wasn't concentrating so hard on getting it to look like his. It was hard work too, for muscles unaccustomed to lifting rocks, but she stuck her tongue out stubbornly and kept going. When he and the companion set their rocks aside, she did too. Oh thank the stars. They picked up sharp things, and started scraping. Well, she'd help with this part too, it was easy! Hunting around, she picked up a sharp rock too, and started scraping at the mashed plant. Slowly the fibers he'd been talking about were revealed, just like he'd said, and Aoife gave an excited wiggle at her success. Partial success. She kept working at it until it looked right, then stopped to watch him again. When he took off a chunk of fibers, she did the same. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't complete garbage either. While she did, he took a moment to introduce himself, and Aoife grinned at him, wriggling. "I'm Aoife Adravendi it's nice to meet you Mister Skae and Mizz Sowelu!"
