Uzbekistan Yurt, Sunday Morning

[dwarvenswagger]

It was safe to say that a dwarf that was presented with a building challenge was a motivated dwarf. That would be why Thorin was halfway through building the so called 'yurt' with only a few, ah, embellishments.

Look, he needed to make it more defensible, okay?

And maybe there were a few decorative touches added to the walls.

Just be glad he didnt feel the need to add a wall around it. Yet.

"Excellent," Thorin replied, more than pleased to not need to climb up there. "I believe we may have the best 'yurt' of the group."

It would be the shiniest at least.

"Careful, or you'll tempt me to grab a shovel and dig down a bit, to make it cooler," Ada laughed as she shimmied her way into position. "Drop us down a foot or two, put some holes along the edges, and run into town for some big blocks of ice from a restaurant kitchen. We'd have air conditioning without needing to steal an electric!"

"I could make a stable step with stone." GUYS, THIS WAS A TENT. WHY MUST YOU MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED?

[boneyard_girl]

BECAUSE THEY FEEL BETTER BY FIXING THINGS OTHER THAN THEMSELVES. BECAUSE TEENAGERS.

"They gonna be fancied up with glitters too?" That's totally a hopeful sound in Ada's voice, yes. You can't take the carnie out of the girl, after all.

"I suppose if I polished the stones down enough for it..."

Blue would be sighing forever at encouraging Thorin to decorate things.

Blue could sigh all she wanted. Ada gave Thorin a thumbs-up, and promptly flipped herself upside-down, hanging from her knees so she was eye-level with her goal and had both arms free to start attaching the roof-hide to the support beams.

"Probably shouldn't do it unless it gets really hot," she sighed. "We're only here a few weeks, right? 'S bad manners to go around leaving holes anyone can just fall into after you leave."
