"ok" she says

"You've got me curious now"

Scuff, mumble, shrug.

"Whatever it is, it's okay. "

"We'll talk about later if you decide you want to " She offers.

"Just.. think about it" She rises and goes out, seeming calm.. But once she gets alone, she grabs her spear, and goes out to beat the holy fuck out out some targets. I swear to god I cannot say anything RIGHT to her...

_I know she doesn't INTEND to treat me like a liar but damn it, I agree to something, no promises, but hey, FUCK ME, clearly I don't mean what I say_ She shoves three holes through a target_

She calms herself... Wow. She hadn't felt that angry in a while

A nod and she heads off, first to check the library, or next to see if Arty's room is open.. in one those two rooms, there's a book

The Spheres Know more than one Song, the cover is of the Seven Sisters Constellation, but if tilted they seem to dance... of course, the book is now missing!

Arty's book is not in the library...

but Thistle's haggled collection is.

Some slightly bedraggled novels... a textbook on arts... oh, the bawdy romance is missing. (Linnea!)

Also in the new library space are the salvaged mortal books from the library - in various states of repair.

Book-Bind 2.0 is plugging away at gluing a patched cover on a paperback.

COnfusion... well, she got the book she came for so why is... Oh. She sighs Yeah FIXES now, not creates Mmmm

But the Book-Binder was created.

And her mom's mixer was "improved."

And Thistle was chattering about pottery while covered in clay...

She hasn't avoided Gwen.

Gunshy about her art, yes. But she hasn't avoided the troll. Prone to swearing - but then, so is Willy.

And despite being skittish, she keeps coming back...

Indeed, she seemed very excited about marigolds, mexico AND bean pots... didn't Gwen mention her mom needing one?

Yeah, but I open my mouth and I set her back two steps A sigh I just cant do anyth8ing RIGHT. If I praise her for thius she'll close up like a crab

But she does admire the work

Does she set Thistle back two steps? Really?

Is that an accurate perception?

_ She wanted a Kiln.. I try to help but she changes her mind and acts like I pushed. Never mind that that was their lordships, She wants to tell me something.. no promises .. i agree no promises and then SHUTS DOWN bedcaUse I opened my fucking mouth., Im tired of no win scenarios and I am NOT turning this into some guilt trip on how I should be more understanding when I've been taking up the ass from the fledges . _

And I'm getting mad again. FUCK it She goes to her room to read

And Thistle is back to the still-sparse workroom.

a knock on the door "Hey?" It's DEE

Clattering!

"One sec!"

She cracks the door open. "Yeah? Whaddya want?"

"Wow, you've been learning from Willy, i can tell...nockers are territorial"

"Well, she has her space..."

"Heyy" She peeks in "Have you been working in here?"

"Um..."

"Just... listen, I paid for the clay, I'm not wasting the Baron's stuff..."

"You're working with CLAY again? NICE! "

"Um.." She fidgets, her spirals a nervous yellow.

"It's not... like.. I'm not.."

"I'm not wasting anything. I paid for it!"

"Yeah. I know, you just SAID that. THis is a GOOD THING"

"Relax" A pat on the shoulder "I'm just glad to see you're finding your passion again":

"They... I dunno.. they're wonky.."

"So what? Wonky is original, Wonky is whimsical, wonky is wonder"

"Wonky is wrong."
