Carrie is having a difficult time feeling bad for him.
Carrie
I couldn’t come up with any idea that sounded good except to go and help Silas myself. That wasn’t actually true – I didn’t want to do anything except go help Silas myself.
If I could get past Nahim I might have had the chance. For that, only one ideas came to my mind. I would let Fire Face free to roam until an event happened, then I could go get Silas while everyone was distracted.
I made the choice irrationally. I saw flames in the distance and realized it was almost time for me to go.

December 10, 2023 at 11:17 pm #169103Wait, did Fire Face start a fire again?
STOP!!!!!!! Have you eaten Breakfast???
#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)December 10, 2023 at 11:20 pm #169105Let me think of something else… he’s starting way too many fires. How dare he.

December 10, 2023 at 11:29 pm #169108I mean, he only started one, and almost started a couple more, so we can have a small wild fire…we just can’t burn down the forest…

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)December 10, 2023 at 11:36 pm #169110That’s understandable. I could just try to write that Carrie tries sneaks past him without any distraction. Idk how that would play out.

December 10, 2023 at 11:38 pm #169111I mean, Nahim is the only one pacing around the entire campsite rn, so as long as she doesn’t step on a stick or something, she could potentially slip through.

I quietly left the campfire deciding I couldn’t leave my brother there.
Just leave me alone… I thought it, but it was directed towards everyone at the campfire.
I found the spot where Silas was. He lay in the same place, I shook him a bit.
“Wake up.” I snapped quietly.
I shook him harder and he began to move a bit.
“Stop.” He murmured.
“Then get up.” I gently kicked him, he moved his hurt arm out of the way, I had completely forgotten that is was that arm.
Silas sat up and looked from his arm to me.
“Your animal is a psycho. And you’re a bit crazy yourself.”
“Hm.” I said as a reply. “Let’s just get back to the campsite.”
We walked to the campsite, Silas had the same reaction to Fire Face’s bite that I did, he kept telling me on the way there that he couldn’t move his arm and it was burning.

oh, and it’s so funny how all the other charries have these weird fantasy names and then there’s just “Snake” and “Rocky” lol

December 11, 2023 at 4:35 pm #169166There’s a good number of characters that have normal names too: Hugo, Carrie, Kari, etc. Ellis is also a real name, though not common these days.

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)December 11, 2023 at 4:56 pm #169169What I’ve learned is that pretty much anything out can imagine is a name in some language 😅
A disturbingly short time ago, in a land uncomfortably close by...
December 11, 2023 at 4:56 pm #169170You, not out. Idk how I did that.

December 11, 2023 at 4:59 pm #169171From what I know of how Arabic languages sound, I would think it would be pronounced “Nah-heem” or something like that, rather than “Nay-him.”

📚 Appreciator of BooksDecember 11, 2023 at 5:03 pm #169174@jonas Fair point. Those are normal names, but they’re at least a little fantasy-sounding.
Snake’s Japanese name (since he came from a series of video games, and you know how the Japanese love video games), スネーク or “Sunēku” (google translated that lol) is kinda cool and fantasy-sounding, but since he appears basically Western and not Asian, I went with his American name when I inserted him into my stories.
