I took the head patting the way it was intended, even though the lump on my head complained loudly.
That trouble dealt with, I decided to return to the cave and see how Kiya's rescue was progressing. As I stepped into the mouth of the cave, however, I was knocked flat on my back by JVB as he lurched out of the cave following a loud [color:"yellow"]"Pop!"[/color]
He had a mixture of expressions on his face, but I couldn't waste time deciding what they all meant, because I was too busy staring at two things:
- DQueene held a belt in her hand as she dangled in Nero's arms at the edge of the pit, and
- JVB's trousers were tangled around his ankles as he was trying to run out of the cave.
Needless to say, I burst out laughing (the only possible civilized response to the situation) and turned yellow with green splotches out of sympathy for JVB.
