In the weeks after their escape Bonesaw is hard at work, building up a lab and growing food and splitting branches and stitching them into a scaffold so that they grow into a living treehouse.
I don't plan to? It's fine for her not to have a nose for a bit - she just won't be able to smell.
I knew a guy who lost his nose - like in a fight not this way - and it seemed to give him some problems.
Well right now she's a baby and nothing's surprising really because she doesn't know how things work but when she gets older she might not like it.
A sort of metal refining fungus, since I can't get metal from other places out here. Also trying to get another marshmallow type for the Lucky Charms shaped right.
Oh, how's it supposed to be shaped? She's coming back into view with her water haul and a fish she caught now.
Like the moon - oh I suppose you don't know what that is. The moon is a giant rock that goes around the planet I'm from and comes out at night and shines brightly. The Lucky Charms version looks like this:
Though the moon is only a crescent like this sometimes.
Oh that would be helpful - my power isn't always cooperative about getting the exact shape I want Rather than some other shape it thinks is pretty.
I didn't know it thought things were pretty or not! She puts Kat in her shirt and sets about carving.
Bonesaw can return Kat's nose.
I'm pretty sure it does! Hard to tell but it adds pretty things when it thinks what I'm designing is otherwise boring.
After a few hours of working Bonesaw asks Beka what they'll be having for dinner.
"Yum!"
Bonesaw will happily set the table before dinner, humming a song to herself as she does.
Ooh, is it a pretty tune?
The fish is raw but Beka got most of the bones out and the acorns are shelled.
It is a pretty tune!
"You know you could cook the fish if you wanted?"
"But this is good too." Bonesaw hastily adds to be polite.
