Dawnlark Plains Sang the jelly bean prayer

Step by step Grace made her way up onto his back. Esaro did his best to hold still while she was putting her weight on him. He had braced himself to get her whole weight but strangely she was much lighter than he imagined. That was until she actually managed to get completely on him. Now it was a real challenge to hold her, however he was able to hold well enough to not collapse under her weight but it did take him by surprise. Esaro was completely concentrated on holding still and steady while Grace went for the eggs. The hardest moment was when she stood on her hind legs on him. He barely held but suddenly he had no more weight on him.

Esaro turned around seeing a little more than a pair of dangling legs hanging from a tree. Very quickly his attention went to the nest and Grace. "I think you can reach it, just grab the whole nest." Then came the way of getting her down. It wouldn't be easy to get under her hind legs so she could stand again. She was up too high and Esaro wouldn't be able to use the tree to help him. Grace was going to have to fall. Esaro was already willing to be a pillow to help her landing. He worried that she might get hurt and it would be his fault. "Try to fall onto me. It's okay if the eggs get broken but I don't want you to get hurt on the way down." He said while trying to get into the place where she would fall. The logic went if she could fall on him it would be softer and closer than the ground.
