Oof

Oh my yes. Quite a painful snipping they can dull out. <^\/^>

I hope New Hunter doesn't get too ignorant and lose both his ears- or worse- as a consequence.

Something worse can indeed happen if your not careful with the wee snippy fellas. <^\/^>

Thats a reaction that makes one loose ears!

That it is. <^\/^>

someone is going to loose a chunk of ear

If they're not careful. <^\/^>

I'm guessing Death made up the story so as to not get embarrassed about how he lost his ear.

More like... never corrected anyone when they guessed how he lost his ear. <^\/^>
