Livia loved the way the tribe responded to the news. The only thing she was worried about was Dah-Nee. He didn't seem happy at all, and he kept looking at Kane with a stern expression. After everyone sat down to eating, Livia and the others talked about the old days. "Remember when Nee tried to climb to the top of the big redwood when he was 7? He got about fifteen feet up before he slipped on the moss and fell to the ground. He would have been killed if Lee didn't throw that entanglement of vines over to him." Kee said.
"And I can't believe he was actually able to catch himself," Livia added, "he was falling so fast, I thought he was a goner."
"Yeah, which explains why you yelled at him and then cried for the next week," Toru said. "You were still pretty messed up from A-Kee and Tou-Kee's deaths. How are you doing with that now?"
Livia paused and looked down, "It still makes me sad, and I still have dreams about them, but since Tao-Vey found me, I've been much better." Livia squeezed his hand and smiled at him. Nee bristled and interrupted the moment.
"So are you coming with us tomorrow, Lee? We think we found the Agouti's burrow. There's probably about twenty of them in there. If we catch them and flush them out, we can have quite the meal. What do you think?" He beamed over at Livia as she smiled back.
"How are you going to catch twenty of those rodents? They're too fast for a slow poke like you to nab them," she laughed.
"Oh well you see, we have these large nets that some fire-headed, city girl sent us a while back. I think they're supposed to be for bugs, but we don't need them for an insect repellent," he teased.
"Those were supposed to make it easier for you guys to sleep at night without having to use all the eucalypti trees for repellent! Jerk!" Livia laughed and leaned against Dah-Nee. "I missed you, Nee. And I'd love to go hunting with you guys tomorrow."
"And I can't believe he was actually able to catch himself," Livia added, "he was falling so fast, I thought he was a goner."
