"You gonna be okay if I go pick up a few more of 'em?"

"Yeah I can keep."

She pats him and grabs her cane and goes on a bananish run.

Lucien will... clean up their lean-to. Insomuch as there is anything to clean up which there basically isn't. But he can sort of sweep with a leaf, at least.

She returns without incident carrying four more bananishes, which are as many as she can get under the non-cane arm, and with three more stuffed in her shirt and waistband. She's also picked up a fish funnel and is carrying that dangling from the little finger of the cane hand.

Once she is in sight Lucien can head over and relieve her of some of the bananishes. Slowly.

That will make it easier for her to get the rest of the way over the rocks.

Eventually they make it back to the camp.

He... feels a bit weird and unsure what to do after their last conversation but he's sure Isabella will have good ideas about things.

Right now her idea is to steadily munch through raw fish and bananishes to compensate for her attempts to telepathy her brother.

Lucien can debone fish if that helps.

It does. "Glad I'm habituated to sushi."

"I keep trying to figure out if there's a way to make fire - maybe we could jury rig something from one of our phone batteries? I don't know."

"Phone battery might explode, don't try it."

"Yes ma'am."

"You can try rubbing sticks together if you want, I just expect it to be more frustrating than productive."

"Yeah, that seems likely."

It's not clear whether it's the food or the noise, but something attracted this furry critter.

"...wow, that thing is adorable, pity we have to assume it bites."

It takes a few steps towards their food, its body bouncing a little bit with each step.

"No fear of humans, I guess we're lucky that hasn't literally bit us more than this so far." She sticks out her cane to poke it in the chest so it can't advance.

It flops onto its back when she pokes it. Then the tail gets tucked between it's leg and curled around its body and the ears flatten down and it rolls back a few times, looking similar to a furry roly-poly.

Lucien is not asking if he can pet it. That's a not a reasonable thing to ask. But still....

"If I get ahold of Alex before they get anyone through the portal I'm telling him to send them through with cages so these things can get domesticated."

"I am probably very favor of this! If they turn out to be easy to care of."

Its gonna unroll and waddle back to stick range.
