((Thoth's Farm - Paoike Colony, Drever IV))
Thoth: You are welcome to stay here to wait out the storm.
Sherana scoffed slightly.
Sherana: I'm not scared of a bit of wind and rain. If you need
assistance to tie down your things... ::She had decided that was
what the tarp and rope were for:: ... I will assist.
Sh'Prelleon: And I will assist in herding the walking trees to the
shelter. You may be more experienced with them, but it cannot hurt
to have two pair of eyes on them to make sure they all arrive
safely.
Thoth: response
The women nodded and Sherana moved over to him to grab the ropes
and some tarp.
Sherana: I lived in a vISovbe' region during the Academy training.
Tying down equipment was part of daily life.
((OOC: vISovbe' = Monsoon ))
Zylandra: That leaves us to take care of your friends. Tell me
what to do.
As much as Zy hated when someone told her what to do, in this case
it was necessary because Thoth was the expert with these creatures
she had never even heard of before.
Thoth: Despite their size, walking trees are very pushable
animals. You can usually just push them in the direction that you
want them to go.
Zylandra looked up at the creatures, large and in a way elegant.
She was fascinated with them and they were docile, allowing them
to simply push them? She was completely fascinated. She watched as
Thoth walkd up to one the large creatures and he gently pushed
towards the designated shelter, and then moved behind and pushed
some more.
Sh'Prelleon: Looks easy enough.
She mimicked his actions by moving up to the creatures. It seemed
to reach out to her, and a small smile fell onto her face, a rare
ocassion. She turned the large walking tree towards the shelter
and then moved behind to push.
Thoth: Careful not to press too hard. You wouldn't want to hurt
their legs.
She eased her touch a little, not to push too hard just as he had
said. Despite having seen it with Thoth, she was in awe when the
creature followed the push and began to move toards the shelter.
Her eyes were forward to the shelter, her antennae though moved
upwards, along the creature, taking in impressions.
Sh'Prelleon: That's it, well done. ::She praised the creature::
After the walking tree was in the shelter Zy headed back towards
the pen. Her eyes briefly moved to Sherana who was busy towing
down everything, quite effectively too and then noticed that Thoth
was picking up a very small walking tree. An infant? Maybe even a
baby.
Sh'Prelleon: Can't it walk? Is it hurt?
Thoth: Because it's younger the legs are more delicate. I wouldn't
want to be pushing it around. Picking them up is much safer for
them.
Sh'Prelleon: Ah, understandable. The younglings need a bit more
help.
She understood that well having seen her share of young animals.
She took care of another of the walking trees when she felt
something cold on her antennae. They flicked upwards, the dark
cover above them rolling close, very close and the wind picked up
a bit.
Sh'Prelleon: It's starting to rain, we should hurry.
Thoth: response
The Andorian nodded to the Klingon and continued to herd the rest
of the walking trees towards the shelter. If they were in there
the rest would be fine. It took a few minutes but then the walking
trees were taken care of. The rain had picked up by that time and
then... the sound changed. She stood in the shelter and looked up,
heavy pounding on the roof above her.
Sh'Prelleon: What...
Thoth: response
Angry yells sounded from outside. Klingon if she wasn't wrong.
Though she didn't understand it through the noise of the pounding.
She looked to Thoth with a questioning gaze and then moved to the
door to head back outside. Out there was the most amusing sight -
at least to her.
Sherana stood in the middle of the pounding hail, every now and
then one of the golfball sized balls of frozen water his her on
the head, the back, the arm... the arm that held a Mek'leth in its
hand and she yelled Klingon profanities at the hail that dared to
hit her, looking as if she was ready to cut them into cubes. Zy's
antennae twitched slightly and the corner of her mouth twitched in
amusement.
Sherana: Baktag! ::Slash, pound:: K'pekt! Fight me like a warrior!
((OOC Not translating them but you can imagine they are insults :)
))
Thoth: response
A deafening thunder suddenly split the skies, lightning was right
with it crashing down somewhere in the forest. Another deafening
sound filled the air, a roar. The same roar that had come from the
forest before. Zylandra's eyes widened when it felt like the
ground was shaking. What was that?
THUD THUD THUD
In heavy and faster thuds whatever it was in the forest came ...
closer.
Another angry rumble of thunder, cracking the lightning a moment
later, mixed with the pounding sound of hail coming down on them.
Zylandra raised her arm above her head
Sh'Prelleon: We need to get inside! ::She called over to Thoth.
Thoth: response
THUD THUD THUD ROAAAAAR
And then it broke through the trees. The size of an elephant, but
covered in fur, clearly in a panic as it rushed out from the
forest, and straight towards Sherana, clearly without seeing her.
The Klingon raised Orion was distracted by the hail that still
dared to attack her but when the thuds came closer she turned
around and much to Zy's surprise her face lit up. There was no
smile but she could see the fire of battle shining from her eyes
to where she stood. If that wasn't the worst idea that woman had
ever had, Zy didn't know.
Sh'Prelleon: SHERANA!
Thoth: response
((OOC I have no problem with Sherana being run over by the creature as long as she survives of course :) So feel free to do whatever you like :) ))
