Journeying on an ox cart to remote places is not a piece of cake. Sure, it's an adventure but tell me that again when Thread falls! Not a pretty picture.
My ox cart is lined with metal but my ox is not! I have to shelter in caves during Threadfall. It's so hard to count the schedules. It wasn't so accurate. Thank AIVAS it is now. From the Yokohama, they can detect where and when the Thread Ovums fall.
Now, moving along with my cart are five mischievous critters. Alonzo is my scout and guard-lizard. Peppi is my official bum. He's adorable, though. He also disposes of things for me. The only place he knows to go to is Harpers Hall and the ox cart.
Blindy dropped off her batch of litters. Muning, Burburry and Domino.
Muning is an trouble-making brown. Burburry is a lovable green and Domino is a large gold. Strangely large considering her mother is so small. I am still wondering who the father is!
Domino does not hang with the crew as often as Muning and Burburry. It is actually Aki's blue Oliver who lags along with us, hoping to get food.
So, I am with five at a time.
Most people get jealous. Some went to higher up Masters telling them I had five when Harpers Hall told me to hand over the eggs. Well, I tell them only two looks to me. Two are strays and one is a hanger-on.
Jealous-much!
