Re: The Twofold Houses

[Trip with a Raptor] Lucy is not so nearly as restrained, happily rubbing her hand against Coco's beak if the raptor allows. She giggles. "She feels so nice!" She looks down at her feet. "What do you think David?" David is more wary, but calm enough. He tilts his head this way a...

Re: The Twofold Houses

[Trip with a Raptor] Fascinated, Lucy sets down Mr. Chewy Chompers. The fat, fearless mole rat sniffs at Coco curiously, his body scrunched up into a pink ball. "Un-unh!" Lucy confirms to Jillian. She beams that infectious grin of hers. "She's so cute !" She tries to hold a hand...

Sticks blanches visibly at the mention of Vax, and though he has the entire trip on foot to compose himself, he still looks vaguely anxious when Bontu leaves them alone again. He doesn't have much to add to the idle conversation - it sounds like their goal remains unchanged.
