Log file from Two Moons - Dewshine. 10/8/00 11:23:49 AM Northeastern Area of the Valley This area of the valley is thinner, the woods ending in a large clearing just before it gets near the waterfall and the lake to the north. The clearing hear looks over the lake to the north, following the river that connects from it, to the lands across the river to the east from here. The faces of the valley loom up in the distance, showing the sheer size and majesty of the mountains. It is the height of the dry season here. The grasses are thinned out and brown under the heat of the DayStar as the long days linger on filled with heat and the biting insects. As a consequence, most animals linger near the river and the lake, taking refuge from the bugs. For predators, the close packed animals provide easy prey to find... but still its harder to survive. The daystar rises high over the valley. Awake: Dewshine Scatterminx NightBloom NightBloom sits by the fire her tummy out to there already doing some stitching something she just isnt real good at. Dewshine is humming as she comes out of the Lostholt Camp. She's got a slight smile on her face and an amused expression in her blue eyes. She stops as she sees NightBloom and then heads over to sit beside her. "Shade," she says softly as she gets close. "I'm Dewshine. Can I help you with anything?" NightBloom smiles and waving then saids **Heyla** looks down at the pathetic looking bundle of leathers **It was to be a bunting for the cub. But its not comming out right.** Scatterminx slips out of her tent with a small basket of leather strips. The tanner turns around and blinks as it is far later in the day then she thought it was. Rubbing her temples absently with dye-stained fingers she moves to the fire. **Heyla** Dewshine might not be a tanner, and it's been turns since Windkin was a cub, but she sits down beside NightBloom, joining the very pregnant elf by the fire, a gentle expression on her face. "I'll help if I can," she says. "If you don't mind, that is." At another greeting, she looks over to the tent to see Scatterminx just outside of it. "Shade, Scatterminx. How are you doing today?" NightBloom waves to minx then shakes her head showing the work to Dewshine.. **I can use all the help I can get.** the stitches are even but its cut all wrong and not folded correctly either. NightBloom is sitting on a log next to Dewshine trying hard to make a bunting for a cub since will be mid whitecold when the cub is born.. Dewshine leans closer, examining the bunting that Nightbloom's been working on. She reaches out a hand to touch the leathers carefully. "You've got some nice warm leathers here. Your cub will be nice and warm." she says, as she tries to see how she can help. "I'm not sure if it's shaped right though. How did you decide to cut it?" NightBloom tilts her head shrugging **I figured it needs more room by the sholders and a hooded area.. so I cut it as I thought it should look. Then folded it and started stitching. I can make a realy good tent. I can make sleeping furs and things to put under your head. I can repair most leathers. But I cant make clothes for the cub** is a bit perterbed with herself... then again she has only ever seen one other cub. Dewshine chuckles lightly, music in her voice. "Let me see," she muses, reaching out questioningly, intending to take the bunting leathers into her own lap for a bit. "You stitch very well. I don't think I ever did such a good job when I had my cub." NightBloom hands it over willingly **Thank you.** she smiles proudly **we have more of the warm leather if we need to start over. When we toppled a long tooth that invaded the camp we kept its fur for the cubs to come.** Dewshine turns the leathers in her hands over and over, upside down and rightside out. There is a thoughtful expression on her face. "I don't think it's folded right. Maybe we should take the stitches out and refold it?" she suggests, trying to see if she can figure out how it should be folded. Oh, where's a tanner or seamstress when you need one? "Or maybe start over? It's been a long time since I had to worry about one of these." NightBloom nods **What ever you think is best. Shows how little i know of cubs** blushes.. Dewshine giggles a little. "I'm not the best person to ask really." After all, she spent most of her cub-raising time in the Sun Village. And kept Windkin on a tether besides. "But let's see what we can do, shall we?" She decides to try fixing what you've got first, rather than just scrapping it. Which means those stitches have to come out. NightBloom nodnods.... **Need my blade?** she takes it from where it is at her side.. Dewshine has her own knife but since the other one is already out, she uses that. "Thanks." And she takes the offered blade, cutting carefully through stitches. As she does, she starts to hum a pretty tune. She is sitting beside NightBloom, by the fire, and helping NightBloom with some sewing for the new cub. NightBloom watches interestedly Silverclaw ambles out of the father tree, looking like she's still asleep, as well as the wolf walking along by her side. Two reddish cubs come racing past the both of them, barking and nipping a each other in play as they disappear into the surrounding forest. Silver, with FurFire, only make their way over to the fire pit and sit down, the elf maiden look around with sleepy eyes as she yawns and stretches. Dewshine hums merrily along, as she removes stitches until she can unfold the leather and see what she can do with it. She glances up as someone else arrives and grins. "Aooyah, Silverclaw." and she looks down to smile at the wolves she was skritching earlier. "and you too, my friends." She folds the leather one way and then the other, only half paying attention to it. NightBloom giggles as the holt is full of wolfcubs this turn Silverclaw huhs? sleepily as she hears her name, amazed she even responds to it this early. She yawns again and looks at Dewshine, peering at her a moment until she rmemebers then grunts a morning greeting. Dewshine shakes her head, a half smile on her face at the sleepiness she can see. Then she just has to shrug. "I don't know how to fix this," she mutters, trying to fold it in a completely different fashion. She glances over to NightBloom. "I think it needs to be rounder here," she suggests, pointing towards the hood part. "What do you think?" NightBloom nods.. slowly **Looks like it.** Dewshine gently holds the leathers out to NightBloom, so she can give them back. "Well, maybe someone with more skill than I have can fix this?" she suggests. The knife she twirls so that the hilt is facing NightBloom, letting Dewshine return everything at once. "Meanwhile, I think I shall go test the waters by the waterfall. Since I didn't do that last time." NightBloom nods and smiles giggling **Maybee I will ask scatterminx.. she is our tanner" NightBloom waves as she sees you go to the water fall
