What: Picking up the pieces

[Braving leeches, lizards, and unknown horrors of the ~~deep~~ shallows, a Pavo is knee-deep in the river, salvaging what's left of their bridge. A yellow flower (that has definitely seen better days) is still tucked into the front pocket of her overalls.]

Ahh, it really is completely broken . . . can we even make rope like this?

	Thank you. I know it's a little selfish, but it wouldn't even make much of a meal, and there's fish instead . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just one. It was rustling in the reeds when I was rolling in the mud to hide . . . I thought it might be something big, but it was really tiny instead. And cold, and all wet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've only ever seen them in groups... ...it surprised you, huh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little. And with all the animals going after people, I wasn't really sure it was safe, either . . . Agito said they lived in Vulpecula, once, and I don't really remember much about there. It's only ever been alone, so far. I saw it yesterday, too. Maybe, if they're hunted here too . . . it doesn't have any family to go back to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a little worried about it. But asking people to leave it alone . . . if they're hungry enough, it might just make it a target. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-16 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	If it was inside, it would be fine, but it's still . . . It's a wild animal. And I think . . . Beast wasn't really happy that it was close to people already. If it was actually living with me . . . and I'm not even sure what it eats, or how much it needs to be healthy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be nice. Lumi really loves the animals around there too. But getting Hydra and Vulpecula to agree would be hard. And with the games as they are . . . if someone was mad at us, they could take it out on the animals instead. It . . . really wouldn't be fair, to risk them like that.

	Aah-- that's true. It'd be pointing them out as yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-17 01:35 am UTC (link)
	That's why it's a little tricky. For now, with the bridge out, not many people will come by anyway . . . maybe that's enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's . . . not so bad. Lucky's really the only one who comes down, and she likes catching things out of the lagoon a lot more than hunting. [Man we've been standing here for a bit. And those shadows on her legs are looking a bit too dark to just be shadows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
