Drabble challenge

First of the drabbles, for saltnester



When Devon had imagined ambassadorial work, it hadn't included trailing around dusty museums with flu-ridden Saisorhi.

Their guide was droning about religious artefacts. Devon didn't want to ask about any religion involving that many tentacles.

Nimbus sneezed, wings flaring. His feathers caught a stand, jolting a cluster of ugly figurines together. There was a clean, distinct crack.

“You broke a leg off,” Maria snuffled.

“Thad's nod a leg,” Nimbus replied. “Id's an abbendage.”

Devon glanced guiltily at the guide, hissing, “Stick it back on.”

“How?” Nimbus muttered, poking the statue.

“Devon,” Maria asked, frowning. “Why is the ground shaking?”

[grins] Is that a limb...?

*shrugs* As close as I could get within 100 words. Nimbus would have been quite happy to keep debating the issue.

Not that it needs reaffirming, but I adore Nimbus. And that's an evil place to leave the drabble at. ^-~ Much fun!

*laughs* Idiotic Saisorhi. I'll leave Devon to get them out of that one.

Poor Nimbus. He never suffers in silence.

*laughs* '"Stick it back on."' Oh, dear, poor Devon. What's this many-tentacled religion, anyway? XD I like, despite not knowing what Saisorhi are (except that they have wings) or how to pronounce the word.

*grins* Saisorhi are my race of winged people. They have a display-orientated culture, which is to say that they're all vain, flirtatious featherheads. Poor Devon is Maria's non-Saisorhi husband, and spends much of his time dragging these two out of trouble.

And, um, say-sore-ee, roughly.
