Redhawk Caldera Can't see me cry ever again

Towhee had to bite her lip hard to stop the laughter that wanted to burst out of her mouth at Alyx's response. She didn't trust her ability to open her mouth to speak, so she shook her head and signed, -No, although... that's pretty fucking funny. Anyway, it's a rodent sort of like a rabbit but with quills all over its back.- In case the yearling didn't know that term, she paused and added, -Like sharp pine needles, only bigger and more dangerous.- That seemed like an apt way to describe them.

The urge to laugh had passed, though Towhee realized that staying quiet would probably serve them well. -If you're up for a bit of a risk, we can go for it. We'll have to flip it on its back somehow to expose the soft underbelly. I'd like to do that part, which means you'll have to make the kill. Sound like a good deal?-
