[Rumor] Herdbeast Tipping

The center part of the Weyr. It stretches out from stone to stone. Grasslands stretch across the dirt, and there is a freshwater lake on the southwest side, near the feeding grounds.

[Rumor] Herdbeast Tipping

A Candidate claims that if you sneak into the herdbeast paddocks at night, you can push them over while they sleep. That can't really work, right? A person can't just tip over an animal that weighs five times what they do at least? Plus, wouldn't the herdbeast just wake up?

Le'da's eyes flew a touch wide as she heard this statement. Pushing over Herdbeasts? Now... She had been raised around Herdbeasts and been around them plenty while they were sleeping but she could never have claimed to push them over while they slept, but with how many siblings she had, surely someone would have said something if that was the case right? "That is crazy. It wouldn't hurt them would it? I mean they're hardy fellows but just pushing them over? Also I've known a number of stubborn Herdbeasts and pushing them is just out of the question... Should we try it?" Le'da gave a slight sly grin. Being around them for as long as she had, she had grown to love them dearly, but it was kind of like nudging your best friend over. Never would she try it to hurt them, but it might be just a touch funny... Then again, she would never be able to catch a Herdbeast to right them again. Yes this concept warred a little within the young Garnet rider.

But alas came the rather snide voice of reason and she could just hear the eyeroll from the large Garnet dragoness beside her. Mine... You know better than to play with my food... But there was no missing the tone of amusement despite the light quip. One might wonder if Tamiuth was also curious about this experiment.
