Astral still pouted a bit at the fact that Carrie tried to get her to choose such an implement. The smaller the better, her butt! Nevertheless, she returned the hug. "No hard feelings, friend." Astral said, still a making mental note to get back at Carrie one day when she least expected it. 😛

Resisting the urge to chuck the dreaded thing into the bushes, Astral made sure to put the cane down carefully somewhere out of the way. She shuffled over to Alyx, twiddling her fingers nervously at the fact that she didn't really get around to choosing an implement.
