She holds steady for Holly, eyeing her shaking with a hint of bemusement.

Holly Mapleton (Sep 22, 2011 12:02:35 AM)
*Managing to get the last of the butterflies into the net another more violent tremor runs through her, the second net falling from her suddenly clumsy fingers to fall on the floor beneath.*

She backs out of the cave with them, having paused to snap up the net Holly has dropped. "Nein, I am counting there is to be five? Six in the pouch?" She holds it up. "There is to be at least two more?"

Thomas Walker (Sep 22, 2011 12:08:39 AM)

I forgot all about that. Can anyone do the jump thing on me?

Lior Axel (Sep 22, 2011 12:16:37 AM)
"Ja, ja. I can be doing this for you." She hops up and down, spinning first one way, then the other, sing-songing something playful in Yiddish. "Old man wants to jump to the sky, old man wants to go real high. The higher he goes, the harder he falls, going up means coming down, higher up, up up."
