"Yeah!!! Can I hug you?" 

It bounces. {yes! can hug!!}

She wraps the little spirit up gleefully in a many-limbed hug, careful not to squeeze them hard enough to injure. 

The spirit is so small and round and cuddly. Its tiny pointy arms can only sort of manage to hug her back, but boy does it try.

"You're so good." 

Happy wiggle!!

{you too.}

"Are the other spirits like you?" 

{made of other things. i am forest spirit, made of wood. stone spirit is stone, water spirit is water, cloud spirit is cloud. all same size though.}

"Are they all as nice as you?" 

{spirits are for helping! don't know though. haven't met them.}

"How do you know the things about them?" 

{i know things!}

"Well, I'm glad you do. I'm so glad you're here, this would have been so much harder otherwise." 

Happy wiggle. {i like helping!}

"You're so so good at it." 

Wiggle!!!

Snuggle!!!

Eventually: "I'm going to go inside and sleep for a while." 

It hugs a tentacle one more time and then lets go and hops to the ground with a little wave.

So good and cute!!!

She lumbers inside the Lucy-sized shelter, wraps her tentacles around herself, and sleeps. 

She wakes as the sun is starting to set. 

A gross forest corpse shows up to ineffectively try to kill her, as corpses tend to do.

She dispatches it easily and heads off to the grasslands, killing incidental forest zombies along the way. Heeeere, grass corpses! Lucy would like to extract seeds and a backpack from your destruction! 

It takes a while, but a few of them drop seeds, and one eventually drops a backpack.

Yes!!!! Backpack!!!!

She puts the seeds and pickaxes and so on in the backpack. She dons the backpack; how does it warp to fit her decidedly nonhuman shape?

It finds a good spot to nestle among her tentacles where it's out of the way while still being readily accessible, and secures itself there by means of a slightly absurd arrangement of straps.

That is so neat. 

She checks the position of the moon in the sky. Is there still enough time before sunrise to make going back to the snow and killing some corpses there worthwhile?
