Animal books? Binoculars? Sunglasses and warm gloves? That can only mean one thing:We're going on an adventure!
But what's in this box over here?"Is it rocks? Bones?"
No, Vula, it's not rocks.
"FOOD!"
Not quite, Trixie.
"Must be the lion repellent I asked for."
For the last time, Oula, you will NOT be eaten by lions!
"I'm gonna look..."
"..."
"... Bubble wrap? Why do we need bubble wrap?"Look a little closer.
"Something's moving!"Fiametta crawled out of the box of her own accord, and immediately started meeping. My other wyrms gathered round to listen.I don't know whether she was introducing herself or telling them the story of her long and perilous journey, and I probably never will.
Khan likes her."I'll teach her to eat pomegranates with me! It's tricky if you want to keep your fur pristine.
The other wyrms seem to really like her too. At least, they don't feel threatened.
I was most worried about Trixie. She's never met anyone her size. Will she feel relieved to have a playmate? Or will she feel threatened?No need to worry. They're best friends already.After her harrowing ordeal, I was worried that Fia would not want to leave home ever again. Hesitantly, I told her of our plans to explore the Kalahari, and asked her what she'd like to do. I guess her diving straight into my binoculars case was answer enough! She's found us now, and she'll never let us out of her sights again.
