"Really? From charcoal?" Hunter asks, looking a bit unconvinced. "What's so special about it?"

[Pyrus]

"Well.. it's the primary building block for everything on the planet except rocks."

Hunter holds up a paw and stares intently at it. "I'm made of charcoal?!" he asks in alarm.

[Pyrus]

"In a sense yes, but actually no"

Hunter looks warily at the paint can. Then he turns back to Pyrus, asking "So what are we going to make once the charcoal's done?"

"Gunpowder" [Pyrus grins]

"Oh!" Hunter says, grinning. He hops a bit in excitement, watching the paint can again. "Do you think its almost done?" he asks eagerly, pointing to the flames issuing from the can's top.

"Once the flame stops, it's finished... yah know when I first started all I had was a clay oven with two chambers. I always had ash mixed in and it made a horrid product, but it worked for what it was intended for"
[Pyrus pokes the fire and flips a log over]

"Ugh, that sounds difficult," Hunter says, trying to imagine using a clay furnace instead of the simple fireplace and can set up. "How long have you been doing this?" he asks.

Hunter looks at Pyrus questioningly. "You...lost 20 years? What do you mean?"

[Pyrus]

"You know the stoner kid at school who shows up after having four bowls for breakfast and only one was cornflakes?"

"Ah," says Hunter, eyes a little wide. "That's pretty intense."

"Yah, so was 'Nam' but that's another story..."
[The flame sputters a bit but is still going strong.]

The flame's brief splutter catches Hunter's attention and he looks hopefully back at the can, but then realizes it's still not done. He turns back to Pyrus again. "Nam?" he asks. "You mean, you fought in the war?" The more they talk, the stranger Pyrus's history seems to Hunter.
