Are we ready? asks Gaius.
Yes, says Denis. I've packed.
I suppose we should pump up our tyres, says Gaius.
Denis has already pumped up his tyres.
Gaius starts pumping his.
Let's looks for that bent stick we need, and the two pebbles, says Denis.
You look, says Terence.
Come on, Terence, says Denis. You'll be wanting some input. I'll find the bent stick. You look for the pebbles.
Denis goes off to look for a bent stick.
The idea is the bent stick will be the model horse's head and neck all in one.
Which will mean he won't have to use the last plaster.
Terence is looking for two pebbles.
He doesn't know why.
Ageless sees him looking.
Want to help me look for two pebbles? asks Terence.
What for? asks Ageless.
Denis wants them, says Terence. He made me a model horse with no head.
So the pebbles are going to be part of the head, says Ageless.
Probably the nose holes, says Terence.
Pebbles are the opposite of nose holes, says Ageless. Think again.
Ears, says Terence.
Good luck finding pointy pebbles, says Ageless.
What then? asks Terence.
What's left? asks Ageless.
Pebble teeth? says Terence.
Eyes, says Ageless.
They won't see anything, says Terence.
Nose holes won't smell anything and ears won't hear anything, if they're pebbles, says Ageless.
So why am I looking? asks Terence.
You'll have a great model horse to look at, says Ageless.
Woop! says Terence.
And it will act as a reminder of what you REALLY want, says Ageless. A reminder to them.
So it will.
Terence starts looking for pebbles with renewed vigour.
He finds two, almost at once.
They are grey pebbles, each with a small black marking, like a pupil.
You found good ones, says Ageless.
Terence! calls Gaius. Come back! I've pumped up my tyres!
Terence runs back, hoping Denis has found a bent stick.
