There wasn't much to throw into the lava here. If it had dribbled down into the Nook then he could have had a heyday. Here it was just rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Not that rocks were bad. They were nice and heavy and the really big ones made a big satisfying blop sound when he threw them in. But a rock was a rock was a rock...and he got bored easily. An attempt to switch to leaves was very disappointing as no matter how hard he threw it, it came back to him. To get one leaf in Wendigo ended up working it into a crack in a rock and then throwing that into the lava. But that also wasn't the same. It was just a rock wearing a crunchy hat.

Thinking size may have been the issue, Wendigo had just drew over and heaved in a huge stone when his sister walked up. The rock had been so heavy he hadn't been able to throw it far and it had struck the edge of the flow, causing lava to splatter everywhere. Wendigo danced back with a shriek and then turned giddily to face his sister. "I'm burning things up!"

And then there was Misery's voice. "Runny fire! It's great," he answered as he turned to face his brother. Instantly Wendigo's eyes went to the writhing snake. He dropped his head to the ground beside it, one eye smashing closed, and pawed at its flicking tongue while making 'pspspsp' noises. He liked snakes. They were like big worms that bit back.
