[Two baby Hydras are wandering along the banks of the river today, and one of them is picking at bits of plantlife he comes across. Right now he has a particularly spiky, mean-looking thing.]

...I don't know, it's tougher, but I bet it wouldn't last long in the sink.

What good do you think that's gonna do? The weird spiky one looked more promising.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, only it kept stabbing me in my hand and that doesn't help anyone.

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

You could cut the spines on one side off.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Simba thinks we could tie it to a stick too.

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Maybe . . . if the stick were shaped right.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

What kind of shape would it need?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Something with a bit of a curve to fit well in your hand. We could probably shape something from a bigger piece.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Huh. Well, I'm willing to give that a try, once I find another one of those plants.

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

It'd last longer if we made it from bone though . . .

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Can we get bones big enough for that?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Of course! If you take a good look at the pulleys we've got installed to bring heavy loads up to the roof, they're made of the spines of some big lizards. We're gonna go on a hunt for another one soon.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Ah, really? That's pretty cool.

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Really cool. But it's really dangerous too. We have to sneak past some dangerous lizards sometimes, so we can't get it as often as we'd like.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

How dangerous are we talking?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . . As dangerous as some bad games, probably.

[behindenemylies.insanejournal.com]

Oh. Do hunts normally go well?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

If we plan it out well enough. Sometimes it takes a while to find one that doesn't escape, or sometimes we can't get past the clawed lizards . . . The meat is really good though, so it's worth it to try.
