"We do have a room for you but I was assuming you might not want it, since presumably in normal circumstances you'd be living outdoors."

I want a cave but a room might be good.

"Well, you can dig yourself a cave and in the meantime come on in and see your room."

The room has a bed and a sink and a window big enough for her to jump out of if she wants and large nature prints on the walls.

She puts the rock under the bed and sniffs and stares at the nature prints.

These are neat even though they're not real! I want to see these places someday!

"You can probably do that! That one's a place in this very park."

Yay!

Also! She hasn't set anything on fire today even though she really wanted to when she fell out of the tree. Is there something she can set on fire? Or maybe she can just do fire into the air but that's not as fun probably.

They have an old fashioned fireplace! She can set some kindling on fire in there - "though it's a warm enough day we won't want a fire going long."

Fire is part of being a Draak!!!

She impatiently waits for it to be ready and- Fwooosh. It's a fairly little flame, as befits a small Draak. Like half a dozen lighters taped together.

The paper goes up in flames and the kindling catches!

SUCCESS!

She stares at the pretty flames.

I'm going to be better at fire when I'm bigger!

"Yup! Next time the park has a campfire safety class we should bring you to it."

Okay. I remember that fire will eat everything if you let it.

"Mm-hm, but you can learn not to let it."

She does that tail-nod again.

I found two more shelf fungus.

"Can you show me?"

She will totally show Pep the mushrooms! One is about ten minutes' walk from the cabin and one is small and new.

"Ooh, good find, I might've missed this little one till it was bigger."

Horray!

I want to learn more kinds of things you're looking for and find them ALL!

"All right, let's find more mushrooms!" He helps her find a few more and tells her what they're all called.

She's really curious about all the plants and mosses and insects and animals too, but she understands that Pep likes mushrooms best.

Pep didn't actually specialize in mushrooms till university so he knows plenty about plants and mosses, and some about insects and animals.

This is a lovely way to spend the day. She investigates interesting rocks as they go, but deems none of them pretty enough to be hers.

Sunwind is still in considerable pain from the radiation cleanse but can, like, think and move around now so if someone could email the studios he was working with that would be nice.

Miamoto does this.

The fight studio doesn't feel like rescuing the concept now that none of Sunwind's would-be costars are available. If he can scare up replacements maybe they can re-work it but they're not optimistic.

The feature film studio has actually been looking into having their script idea animated but could pivot back to live action if he's clean now and there's no other nasty surprises. Meksi quit her internship, though, they'd have to get him a different assistant.

He might be able to round up some other people but they wouldn't be as good at it as the ones he chose at first.

He definitely did the radiation thing. They can ask all these blues and yellows. It sucked. He doesn't think there's any other nasty surprises but he didn't see the first one coming, so who knows really? He'd never eat waste and has never even seen a red, those being the other two flavors of this exact problem. Also, dang, he liked Meksi.
