Several more scampered down the trunk of the tree behind another human [Fireheart] and charging at her while a few branched off and made their way towards two others [emjay & 2111jen] and launched acorns at them as well.
Their sharp teeth clattering viciously. Not again! Not today! Acorns.
Squeaky squeals.
And suddenly Bowtrucklers were crawling all over the place.
At least it wasn’t squirrels.
Sammy didn’t really move. He kept his hands on the ground and his knees crossed in front of him. He knew Bowtruckles could bite and pinch and scratch, but as long as they stayed away from his face, he’d let them be. Maybe they’d see his passivity and calm down.
Or maybe this was part of the ‘not fighting’ and ‘being respectful’ with nature that the professor had been talking about.
He was still fighting the urge to whistle.
