Logic fail: The wolfriders are a people who have lived by their resourcefulness in the woods for at least 10 generations. They don't have enough wariness of unknown plants to keep their distance and avoid getting scratched up by cacti? They immediately start ingesting the insides of this unknown flora?

Squee: I am so in love with Skywise. He is, to me, a very well-done symbol-character for philosophy and science and the drive to know, yet still portrayed with emotion and compassion and a genuine love of life.

I figure their wariness was a bit worn down by three days in burning desert with no supplies--and that their senses are strong enough to tell them what's edible, for the most part. (And they don't have a lot of choice by that time.)

*snicker* Yeah, there were thorny plants in their woods, as well. So he could have avoided getting scratched. I blame it on him being exhausted and I agree with elf - at that point they were desperate enough for any kind of water/fluid.

Skywise - I fell in love with him in that issue. His curiosity and wonder at the desert night sky and what he says to Cutter "There's nothing evil in the stars" echoed my own love for astronomy then. I could totally relate to him!
