Ethics
Huata did not need to be told twice and promptly darted out the cave. She leapt into the air and flew away as fast as she could. Nearing the edge of the volcanic region, she looked over her shoulder with a twinge of guilt. She landed on a protruding rock, and stood there looking back at the distant cave entrance for a few moments. This isn't right. She took off the bags and set them down on the rocks. I can't let her be killed. She leapt off rock and dove back down toward the cave. Even if she is a Sylvan. Huata cupped her wings to break her speed and landed in the cave entrance. She shifted to her feral form and took a tentative step inside. "Shanku?"
Shanku was quite surprised to hear her come back. "You don't mind very well!" she snapped, but she paid for the distraction. She yipped loudly as the yeti finally landed a blow and swatted her into a nearby wall. Dazed from the impact, she looked up fearfully as the yeti prepared to pound her to death with his fists. What a way to die...
A white and grey wolf with chevrons on its wings hurled itself into the yeti's side and knocked him back a few steps. It stood protectively between Shanku and the yeti, with a simple and pleading, "no". To Shanku's surprise, the yeti stopped and looked down at them.

Ethics
I hear wedding bells! Er, maracas, small gourds filled with pebbles and colorfully decorated. A favorite instrument of Kurach even before Wanderlust struck them and they became five distinct breeds.
Well, I guess next year I'll have to officially start building a new computer and replace my current one. 3GB RAM and a dualcore processor just isn't holding up as well to daily use like it did six years ago when I bought it. Some of the jacks are becoming unresponsive too. One of the things definitely on the shopping list is one of those little $15 bays that has card readers, jacks, and a ton of USB ports! I've been rationing out the same six for years, and when every mouse, speaker, keyboard, scanner, external hard drive and everything else all requires a USB connection, ya run out a bit after a few devices. But the first thing to go will be this stupid mouse! All of it will last until I can get it replaced though. I have a good little trooper. 
Ah, anybody else out there trying to build a computer, go check out PCPartPicker.com. You can do all sorts of cross-comparing based on what parts you want to check out. I'll be basing mine around a graphics card my husband gave me when he upgraded his, a EVGA GeForce 550ti. It's been a big help with artwork, since an artist's computer needs many of the same specs as a gamer's computer.
