That's so cool  I love idioms. And thanks - I'm totally in love with it<3And - sorry for the incredible wait :/ Their pickaxes kept swinging through the air, and before long the hole had increased in depth - enough to try to put their plan into life. Stopping the work, Dawali let the tool drop to the ground and rubbed his hands together as he looked from the hole to the trunks. So, ropes time and everything! Smiling wordlessly at Hemming he made an expression that said enough, no words needed: 'Come on!'. He strode over to the trunks and found a spike and hammer, before considering the trunk. So, which end should the spike be fastened to? Both ends were cleanly cut (he'd prepared them months ago, but never done anything more about it) and thus fit a spike. One end was thicker than the other, and while the thick end down would give better stability, the thick end up would give more area of support for the roof. Confused already, he made sounds of confusion and looked at his friend. Again, the old man needed a kick in the bum. "Uhmm.. so, what'cha think? Thick end up or down?" They'd dug the hole for the thick end, but they were going to pack earth around it anyway so in that sense it didn't matter which end they decided on. Hammer in one hand and spike in the other, Dawali stood at a loss as he waited for Hemming's response. No doubt he'd have a good answer this time as well - Dawali might end up leaning on this guy for a lot of things. He was a good friend to have, and there was nothing the red wolf appreciated more than having a loyal friend amongst his tribe's members. |
