After a short period of searching, Spiral and Kariya found a rather small tree, with a fair number of good-looking treestars on it...problem was, they were both just a little too short to reach the lowest branches.
"This is one reason why I carry my stick around with me," Spiral stated.
"Well, it's not my fault the tree's that big!" Kariya responded. "Now what?"
Spiral looked around for something he could use...and found it, in the form of a decent-sized rock - Just small enough to be a good throwing stone, yet large enough to be able to knock a branch around a bit, but not break it. Kariya noticed the way her brother was looking at the rock, and wasn't entirely convinced that what she thought he was going to do was a good idea.
"You sure about that, brother? It might make a lot of noise..." she said.
"Do you see anything better around? These're the best-looking treestars I've seen since we got here...They even look good to me, and I don't even like treestars all that much..." Spiral replied, hefting the rock.
"Blasphemy!" Kariya exclaimed, smiling widely.
Spiral just chuckled and threw the rock at a branch. His aim was true, the branch giving up some of its treestars...and the rock came sailing back down towards Spiral, who snapped his head out of the way just in time.
"Why does everything seem to be attracted to my head today?" he muttered, while Kariya, being wise enough to stand off to the side, started laughing quietly. Spiral just shook his head and got back to work, trying to knock off enough treestars for their breakfast.
