Summary: Rudeness makes a memory.

Horatio Q. Peabody may have tossed away the Basidium stones as worthless and uninteresting, forgetting what they were and why they were in his pocket, but Chuck and David were more than happy to forgive him that rudeness, especially after David rescued them (and the sodden notebook) from the wet sand. The memory of argument over Ta's necklace in the ship on the way up still stung, but having made up, it served as a reminder to have more care. David cradled the stones in his hand. Perhaps he would make them up into a necklace too, as a memory.
