Twiz looked from Longtail to everyone else. "You--you want me to tell the story?" he asked. Longtail wasn't jumping in, and sometimes the best way to have someone be praised properly was for others to tell a story; if one was just bragging on themselves they tended to only attract eye rolls.
"Well...he both lead us and did it himself, into flying straight into the smoking mountains to twirl the smoke and everything else up to where the mountain wouldn't blow and all...in fact, I think he got closer than me or any of the others did" Twiz realized, "but that could be because Watcher ((name I came up for for 'Twiz's babysitter')) never lets me do anything to dangerous when he's around".
Twiz glanced back and noticed the other herd member wasn't around right now so he could continue, "He says it's ir'sponsible (irresponsible) of me to do risky stuff since I'm the herd's heir and future leader and such" the kid said in a sigh like tone that showed he viewed this view as more fun damaging than sensible or anything.
"But anyway, Longtail was awesome, even pulling it off right when he should have when...well the trouble hit, and he kept more of us from being hurt by cutting it right when Pearl first was" the young one finished with a smile.
