silver surface turned into rust

“You’re sure about that?” Kotori couldn’t help skepticism considering it didn’t make much sense.  Why would anyone be calm about smoke if they hadn’t been the one causing it?  Smoke caused fire which could burn down their whole tree and hive.  Bee’s were dumb but shouldn’t some natural instinct or something teach them it was a bad idea, right?  Whatever.  Kotori would acknowledge a little hope that maybe they wouldn’t get stung.

Kotori took a step away from the bucket she put the stick in since she had warned him of it.    She wanted him to carry a bucket? Kotori turned his head looking behind them and gave a howl calling for his companions.  

“Sure, forest works.  Splash and Fang will meet us at the border,” Kotori would carry the bucket that far at least.  It didn’t sound like it should take too long at least.  They’d get the bee today and in another day or two, he’d challenge dad again.
