Sounds like a good idea!

* curls up next to 2Legs, putting his coat over both of them *

*puts his arm around Light

* cuddles up to 2Legs and goes to sleep

is that the time we've slept for hmm, hours
*gets up and stretches
*click
*click
hmm, stiff back
*looks over to see albatros still circuling

* wakes up with a start *

Ummm What yes errr

* gets up and sees the Albatros *

Would you like me to massage your back?

mmm, a back massage, that would be very nice
*looks at albatross
Hmm, its still circleing whatever it is its circuling

* stands on a small rock behind 2legs *

* massages his back *

Oh thankyou ever so much, that feels just so much better
*looks at albatross,
hmm, its beginining to get dark now,
*peers at albatross and the tide line it is circling
Still can't make out whats down there, can you?

You are welcome

*looks over at the area below the Albatros *

No I cant Mind you I dont know what sort of thing would cause an Albatros to circle like that for so long

Do you have any ideas?

no not really *continues over rocks toward tide line

maybe if we can just get a bit closer?

* follows 2legs, clambering over the rocks as dusk settles in *

Dusk?

*clambers over rocks

Its getting quite dark now, its getting more dangerous going over these slippery rocks as the light fades

I'm off to bed now

Sleep well - hope you dont get an aching back this time!

Thats true. I would like to find out that the Albatros is looking at but we dont want to get totally stranded or worse! Do you think we should carry on?

I think we should.
But if anyone shoots that albatross.....

<BB<

Mmm, I think we should go this way::
It doesn't look too far now to the spot it is circling
*watches albatross

* follows wondering why anyone would want to shoot the albatros *

*stops
"why would any one want to shoot the albatross, and, perhaps more to the point, why would someone mention shooting the albatross?"
*continues over the rocks heading towards and watching the albatross and the region of tide-line it is circling

* tries to keep up *

BB why would anyone want to shoot the albatros?

*slows down and waits for Light
*watches albatross
could be related to the famous poam about an albatross?

Yep, "The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner" warns about the deadly dangers of shooting albatrosses.
Shooting an albatross is a fate worse than death, and will doom us all!
