That part of the teph-a-lone looked dangerous. It reminded her of one of those medieval flails, and if it was anything like that medieval flail, it could do some serious damage.
Destiny wanted to ask if she could hold it, you know, to get a better look at how the thing worked, but she doubted Professor Zoocarcass would trust her enough with it. Pfft, he had no reason not to trust her, though. She had successfully cracked a walnut with a Beater's Bat and left no damage..except to the walnut but that was the WHOLE point! So, now she had to guess what the thing did from afar since she wouldn't be able to hold it.
"Ugh, it's called a teph-a-lone." Didn't they discuss
that already?
"And I think you hold it to your ear and you can see the people talking to you."
