[ She's definitely putting more faith in them than they deserve, because they have no idea what the appropriate amount of strength should be to throw this thing. They wait until she's clearly in her chosen hiding place before they adjust where they're standing to aim, but not before letting out a sigh and making an expression that can only be described as why did I let myself get dragged into this.
But! Here goes nothing.
They hurl the stone at the hive, with way more force than is necessary. The good news is that it hits it's mark perfectly, square in the opening of the hive. The bad news is that the rock knocks it right out of the tree, sending it down, down, down until it plops right on the ground. There's a beat or two where the bees are just in shock, buzzing around their displaced hive before swarming out all at once like any angry cloud, searching wildly for the culprit.
Predictably, they zoom their way towards Cairngorm, since they're the only one standing around, but there's a few that have lingered by the sadly smushed hive on the ground. The vast majority of the insects quickly begin to cover their form, making them look comically like some beekeeper, minus the cool netted mask and everything... its a very concerning image, even to someone who knows they can't be harmed by them. ]
Aghhh, hurry up over there! This feels weird...
[ It doesn't seem like they're in pain, but they are squirming, quick to curl up into a ball at the discomfort. The worst of it all is the buzzing; it's strangely ticklish and invasive, and the sound is nearly unbearable. But they're nothing if not obedient when given a plan, so they just crouch where they are, waiting as patiently as they can for her to do what she needs to. ]
