Taking care of family

Resin waited as Rudyard decided how to hold onto the ropes. In the end, he took them in his mouth. Whatever worked... she just hoped that she wouldn't pull his teeth out. Once secure, Resin began slowly braiding the small ropes together. She made the plaits tight so that the length of it would be incredibly strong and sturdy. It would have to be for what she had in mind.

As she worked, she explained to Rudyard just what they were doing. "We're creating a tripwire to help bring down an ox. If we braid these smaller ropes together, we'll create a much stronger rope. Once we do that, we'll tie both ends off to a pair of trees. After that, we'll run the herd through. The larger oxen should be able to see and jump the rope, but the smaller should trip. Then they'll be easier to kill." Hopefully whatever creature managed to fall would break a leg. Then they only had to end its life, cut away the skin, shove the meat onto the travois, and make their way back home. Simple. Something she had done countless times in the past.
