No, um, more like this. That should help. . . Um, unless it's too heavy for you! It's not too heavy, is it?

[though, it sounds like the second one doesn't really sound like he has much confidence in the subject. shouldn't a teacher know what they're doing?]

	We don't know if it's the same group of animals that we always find, though. Or if there are other places that they can go to for food and water. Maybe they're common and we just haven't seen them, yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess we really don't usually go in too deep, so we can't really say for sure. Um, not that we should go in that deep! It would be bad if we couldn't find the way back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. I've been lost in here once, and once was enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 07:38 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, more than enough. . . Even if it was easier to navigate, there's all the spiders and terepedes and other things living in the caves. I hope we don't run into anything else while we're looking for lizards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If we do, we'll just have to handle that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 08:04 am UTC (link)
	[siiigh] Just because we can handle it doesn't mean we shouldn't hope to avoid having to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not as though we're going to go out of our way to look for trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 08:26 am UTC (link)
	I know. But, um, just checking, we're still on the route we should be taking, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-04 11:30 am UTC (link)
	I did say it would take awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	All right. . . (Now I'm paranoid. I hope I didn't jinx it.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	(It was humid last time too, wasn't it? We must be getting close.) [staying quiet this time, since they might be in lizard territory] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[stops to wait for Mitsuru to do that] Is that just to help us carry the lizard back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-05 01:06 am UTC (link)
	[Gives it the command 'protect us.' :\|b] No. I'll get rid of this one once we have a lizard and make another to help carry it. This is just a precaution, since there are only two of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-05 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh, that's useful. (It's a little bit like I remember fighting with monsters in battle. Actually, that'd be useful to remember, how I made those monsters listen. Maybe I could have one watch Hakuba for us. . .) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-05 01:32 am UTC (link)
	It is. They have no independent thought, since they're just people-sized puppets of rock, but if I'm awake and concentrating to control them, they can perform a simple task that I designate when I cast the spell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-05 01:49 am UTC (link)
	[nods] I see. Um, will you be okay fighting while concentrating on the golem, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-05 01:55 am UTC (link)
	I've managed before. Back home, I could handle six doing something out of my sight while fighting. Here... [Reaches one hand to absently touch the bracer.] ...I seem to be more limited. Still, one isn't impossible. I should be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-05 02:09 am UTC (link)
	[nods again] I just wasn't sure, but it sounds like you know what you're doing. We should keep going, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-05 02:16 am UTC (link)
	I've practiced enough. I should know what I'm doing. [And the answer to the second part is to start walking again, the golem falling in behind. :\|b] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	(I didn't mean to offend him. . .) [sighs and goes to follow him] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[More walking in silence? It is the thing to do. :\|b] [Also, signs of lizards are starting to appear. And that nasty-smelling hot water.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
