: ...I am sitting near the cooking fire, working on my flute. I had taken the roughly shaped branch to the Lair's armoreress, and had let her do the delicate work of sawing the wood in half, lengthwise. Now, I was setting on the delicate task of forming the two hollow chambers.

: ...I am using a gouge, and my small hands, with tapered fingers, carefully scoop slivers of wood from the body of the flute. The instrument needs two chambers, a smaller one near the mouthpiece, and the longer one that goes to the end of the instrument. The two chambers are divided by a wall of wood, that I have to carefully match up as I carve each chamber. The breath that I will be pushing into the first chamber will be diverted up, through a sounding hole, and will pass through the totem that will be lashed to the top, and then will be redirected into the second chamber, where it will escape the flute. My eyes are soft, for the moment, as I focus upon the task.

: ...It is warm, and the sun shines through the canopy of the tall trees, casting rays of sustenance through the Lair. I look up for a moment, seeing scouts getting ready to head out on patrols to the north. I hear the soft chatter of a couple girls, as they peel vegetables for a stew that the cook is preparing. I see that things look well, and turn back to my carving. Slivers of wood gradually are coaxed from the body of the flute, as I fashion the two chambers.

: I reflect over the past few hands as I work, occasionally looking over at my raptor, glaring at her. She just sits, watching me, preening, and pretending to be innocent. I briefly growl at her, and then get back to shaping the inside of the new flute. I think that things had really tightened up since the arrival of Krane, and knew that Drax had approved.
