"Where do you want to stay for today Komo?", I ask Komo who just tease Kimi with his horns.
"Komo, stop doing that! Stop Komo!" I don't want Komo to mess the rope. It happened before. He teased Kimi and her rope ended up entangled on Komo's horns.
"You better behave, Komo!" I continue. "You can't just do what you want to do. Don't mess your rope up, or Kimi's. Understand?"
Komo and Kimi communicate with me mostly with and through their eyes and body gestures. I talk to them and they response me using their eyes.
We are now in Pea Pea.
"Stay still Kimi!", I say to Kimi while tethering Komo.
At one end of the rope, while the other tied to a ring on the nose of the buffalo, the rope is tied to a pago-pago, (usually made of strong wood with sharp end at the bottom). I need to plug this pago-pago into the ground so to keep the buffalo stays at only particular place depend on the length of its rope.
Both Komo and Kimi have about 10 meters rope. They can move around in circle, 10 meters away from their pago-pagos.
"Alright, Komo. You are done. Enjoy your day, okay?" I say while Kimi and I leave him there.
I have to take Kimi at least 11 meters away from Komo. To be safe, I usually make it about 15 to 20 meters away.
You don't want both of them to get in trouble and even in danger by tethering their pago-pagos closed to each other. No. No. No. That is such a big No.
