Wow, that bird is a beast! Very cool looking though.

Welcome! We’re glad to have you. Who’s your favorite Sanderson character?

@Kestrel Ah, yeah, I can understand that. Longer books can be tricky. And audio books often put me to sleep as well. Tree weeks!? Well, let’s hope you have better luck this time and it comes sooner. Oh, that’s cool! He’s adorable.

Welcome back to the Shard @Kestrel! You haven’t finished Oathbringer!? That is kinda sad. It’s really good, so get to it as soon as you can! Hope your permit comes in soon! Sounds exciting. I think we’ve all been pretty good. I, for one, have been great! Awww. That’s a cute bird.

Sometimes abbreviations can be kinda confusing. Took me quite awhile after I joined to figure out what some of the abbreviations on here meant. When you’re reading Five Kingdoms, and the Sky Raiders kind of remind you of Bridge Crews.

“Goldfish crackers are yummy! ‘I could them every day! And my mom says that’s okay!’” Narrator Rebecca sang.

A thermonuke hit!!

Same dude! This one isn’t Pixar, but I swear I cry every time I watch The Croods. Also, Toy Story 4 is out already!?!? I’m gonna have to go see that soon.

But Holly Day didn’t want a holiday devoted to her.

When your sister says something like, “I’m so destructive; I break everything I touch.” and you reply with, “Just like Alcatraz Smedry.”

“Thanks!” The two replied in unison. “We’ll make sure to stop by after our next sparring match,” Jax added. “Well, I should probably be heading home now. My mum and dad are probably wondering where I am,” Kai said, “Thanks for the food though. It was GREAT!” “Yeah, same here,” Jax said, “on both counts. That was the best stew I’ve ever had!” The two boys then ran out the door, one right behind the other, letting the restaurant doors slam closed behind them.

Jax thought for a moment, then his face lit up as an idea came to him. “I know!” he declared, “I’ll tell you about our sparring match!” “Well it’s my story too,” Kai said, “so I get to help tell it.” “Fine. Whatever.” “Okay, I’ll start.” Kai declared, “So this morning, Jax and I were both super bored, so we decided to have a sparring match! We decided we’d both be allowed to use our metals. I’m a Coinshot, so I was allowed to use steel to burn, and bring some coins to shoot. And Jax-” “I’m a Steelrunner! So I was allowed to use my metalminds.” “Yeah. So we found this nice clearing out in the forest not too far from here. We’d used the place before for practicing our powers, and thought it would be great for sparring. We started on opposite ends of the clearing, and as soon as I said go-” ”I ran at him super fast! ‘Cause that’s my power is; I can use up speed I’ve stored to move really fast.” Jax explained. “So I tried to shoot some coins at him, but he’s fast. So I only got a couple small scratches on his arms,” Kai said, pointing to Jax’s arms. “It still hurt!” Jax replied, “Anyway, so I ran at him, and almost pinned him down, but he dodged me just enough that I was only able to knock him over.” “But, after he’d knock me down, he stopped running, so I was able to hit him a couple more times before he ran away again. And then he went and grabbed a tree branch!!!” “It was to hit him with,” Jax said, smiling widely, “He can’t push it, since it’s not metal, and it gives me a longer reach.” “He ran over to me a beat me up with the stupid tree branch,” Kai said scowling, “That’s how I got all these scratches on my arms and legs.” “Aw, come on, I didn’t hurt you too bad. And besides, what kind of sparring match is it if you don’t end up with some scrapes and bruises!” Kai just rolled his eyes. “Eventually, I ditched the tree branch.” Jax continued, “Then, I was able to pin him down.” “That’s how I got this swollen eye. He punched me on the way down. But I got him back.” Kai said smiling mischievously, “I punched him in the stomach.” “After that, we were both pretty tired. We saw this place on our way home, and decided some food sounded pretty good.” “And some water!” Kai added. “So, that’s our story!” Jax said, smiling widely.

“Stories, huh?” Kai murmured, “That’s kinda weird...” Jax elbowed his friend in the stomach, under the counter where no one could see. That hadn’t been a very nice thing to say. Kai let out a yelp, but Jax ignored him. “Like, you want me to make one up? Or tell you something that really happened?” Jax asked.

As the boys slurped down the last of their soup, Jax gave a content sigh. Kai let out a long burp. “Oops. Sorry,” he said sheepishly. “So how much for everything?” Jax asked, who hadn’t bothered reading any of the signs in the restaurant.

“Yaaay!” Kai and Jax both cheered as the soup was set on the counter in front of them. They both grabbed their spoons and began stuffing their faces full of bread and soup. ”Wow, this stuff is good!” Jax exclaimed. ”Yeah,” Kai agreed, “Definitely the yummiest.”

“Hmm, how about...the yummiest kind!” Kai said.

“Thanks,” Kai replied, giving the lady a huge grin. Then he began drinking again. ”When’s our soup going to be ready?” Jax asked.

The two boys though about this for a moment. ”Yeah, I guess you’re right,” Jax said, nodding and sitting back down. He picked up his glass and began drinking again. Kai followed suit, sitting down on his stool. Then he looked up at the lady behind the counter and asked, “Can I have a refill? I’m still kinda thirsty...”

The two boys snatched their drinks off the counter and began furiously gulping down the water. After about half his glass was gone, the second boy set down his drink, wiped his mouth with his forearm, and answered the nice lady’s question. ”We were sparring!” he replied, a little out of breath from drinking so much water all at once without stopping for air, “And I won!” The first boy slammed his now empty glass onto the counter and retorted, “No way, I totally beat you, Jax.” Jax stood up on the stool he had just been sitting on and said, “Um, I had you pinned to the ground, Kai. If that doesn’t count as winning, I don’t know what does.” ”But if we’re basing who wins off the point system we created, then I definitely beat you,” Kai said, now standing on his stool as well.
