You had a lot of burns, and scratches when you were zeugley. ["scratches".] Did the Jaguars make sure to take care of them for you?
Yeah...I had a hard time keeping track of everyone, but, it does seem that way. But while you were, like that, you did save Hootle. He's grumpy right now, but. He'll remember you did that for him.
[ poop posting notwithstanding. ]
We're going to bring some food to cook for everyone once we're there! If I bring you some extra steaks, will you actually eat them now?
—Wait, you have chickens? Did you find another farm or something?
i'm not really sure most of it was on my back and i can't tell but everything kind of hurts just in general. they definitely didn't fix my face though.
( just when those scars were fading away a bit, they are back and worse than ever. nice. )
it wasn't that big a deal. i probably would've eaten him until i saw how small and scrawny he was, so i spit him back out that's all. ( THAT IS A LIE )
i'll eat. not sure if i'm hungry yet but i probably will be. no they just gave me chickens to take care of here, i keep them in a pen behind my house. you should meet them, there's three and a rooster. i'm hoping for chicks in the spring
it's ok, really. they don't have a lot of healing supplies here. they obviously got me to bed and i slept off the worst of it, so that's good enough.
( it's kinda... not... he feels like he got run over by 55 monster trucks but you know what, you suck it up and you deal with it like a tough guy. he says while under 50 blankets and still not exactly willing to move. )
yeah, i remember. kinda. i just wasn't hungry. i kept thinking other people needed it more.
not pigs and sheeps, but there's cows/bulls and what i really want is one of those long neck fuzzy horse looking things. no idea what they're called but they shave the fur off and sometimes use them for carrying stuff and they're way cute.
( the only time law calls anything cute... farm animals. obviously. )
[mentally pressing X to Doubt.jpg, but, if Law says so.. But don't think she won't be glaring (at him AND at Jaguar and company) when she figures out how bad he really feels.]
I can ask for some of the balm they have here and give it to you at the hot springs, if you want. It's not as good as a gel, but it might help if it happens again.
You never turn down steak, though..Unless you're sick. [and even then, that's a stretch] It was really weird.
long neck fuzzy...?? That's not a real animal, Law.
[ Now she knows you must be at least punch drink. #SoundsFake ]
(Hootle looks. ...no, he doesn't get it, its just wiggly lines, pft he can do that) ]
When I'm all healed up, you need to show them to me in person!!
Did you really draw that? [and before he can puff up - it's only tiny amount doubt that...leads in. to. actual. praise?? from Rinwell??] It's a really good picture, Law!
it's real. they have a bunch of them here, i'll show you next time you're in tikal.
and yeah of course i drew it.
uh i've been kinda doing art with dohalim sometimes. just because. so i guess i've been practicing??
( just because he hurt his feelings and made him cry and felt like he had to to make it up to him, but actually it turned out to be kinda fun, and now it's just their Thing. )
there's all kinds of colors. white, brown, black, and some with spots and stuff. and then when they take the fur off they change the color and turn it into clothes and blankets. they're really soft and fluffy.
( yeah well. it was either this or the dodo would never speak to him again. at least he isn't doing them with mud, blood, and poisonous berries this time. )
it's nothing special. i could probably draw hootle he's just circles in real life anyway
Taking the fur off? Like, with sheep? Or is that just making what’s use of what’s left? [you know, after the slaughter, like back home] Do they only have them in Coba?
Soft clothes sound really good right now. My cloak got burned badly, I’ll have to replace it if I can find something here.
[He would have deserved it, being so mean like that. But at least lessons were learned, and sincere apologies led to some pretty cute lesson results!! ]
they have them here in tikal, but i've seen them all over. not sure about coatepec though. i'd bring one with me when i go but i don't want to take any animals out after what happened with beefsteak (don't ask)
( he deliberately doesn't comment on the cloak thing because you've just given him a gift idea for later. shhhh )
[ she was going to reply to the other part (especially the Beefsteak part because you can’t say don’t ask to Rinwell and not expect her to ask anyway), but when he said ‘hang on’, well. As long as it doesn’t TAKE ANOTHER WEEK then sure. Rinwell can wait. She takes time to finger-groom the art subject in question, and tidy up the cot she’s been sleeping on, and—
And then the journal page changes, showing off Law’s reply to her playful challenge and
There’s a five minute delay before she replies. ]
you drew me Hootle.
[ She’s not even going to call you out for being rude about him yet. ]
he's not even sure how to take that reply. a dot of ink becomes a growing and growing blot where his pen remains on the paper, unsure of what to write. is she mad. she's mad, isn't she. it looks like crap, doesn't it. and he did also call it stupid. oh boy. he sleeps for a week and in the first half hour of waking up he's already gotten himself in trouble like, twice? three times? eventually he just writes the least powder-in-the-keg-y thing he can think of: )
[ Things Law can’t see: the first real, genuine smile Rinwell has had since arriving in Copalli (again).
She holds up the journal page to get a better look, all the easier for Hootle to see his likeness side by side. He even puffs up a bit, trying to copy the pose, before nibbling on the edge of the page with his beak. Is that approval??? …Maybe. (He’ll never tell Law.)
Later, this will be torn out carefully, and tucked within the pages of Secrets of the Stars. For now, however, after an even longer pause (unintentionally, and entirely unaware of what Law thinks she’s thinking): ]
You really drew him for me.
It looks just like him!! I love it. ♥
[ (Nope nope scribbling that last bit out. She’s not remotely ashamed of being a girl but, no need to make the moment weird by giving him something to tease her with. Or something?) ]
Birds can’t eat paper, besides he’d get sick. I’d never let that happen.
He’s been trying to steal it out of the journal, so I think you can take that as a sign he likes it too!!
[ then a big black X crosses out “it sucked”, followed by an arrow leading back to ‘I love it’. At least one extra line appears under that, for emphasis. ]
I really do like it, law. Thank you…
[ I guess I forgive you for accidentally ignoring me for a week. I guess.]
( yeah he'd SHIT ON MY DRAWING??? please don't hootle. that's evil. )
yeah, i will. be careful until then ok? don't overdo it. they have a lot of books in coatepec, so you should just take it easy and read some of them for awhile.
( encouraging reading because at least if she's laying around doing that he doesn't have to worry about her suffering or being in more trouble or anything like that. )
[ DEFINITELY NOT HAPPENING that picture is getting tucked away safely into her magic tome, and no one will ever know until it falls out one day inconveniently ]
I won't. Though I think Alphen is the one to warn about not overdoing it, not me.
They have a lot of books here! I can't read some of the languages though. I may ask if they can teach me. I have a feeling knowing some of the local script will come in handy if we're here a long time.
[ She'll handle all the heavy reading so he doesn't have to, all good, she's definitely got this. (and if that unknowingly means he doesn't worry, all the better.) ]
[ SHE WILL DENY EVEN AS THE EVIDENCE IS THERE BEFORE YOUR EYES it's totally dohalim's, she's just holding them for him, since his pants don't have pockets ]
With so much sleep, I guess it would be hard to remember. Or, is that a side effect of the incense too?
The plants, I'll leave to certain ex-Lords we both know. But if they're happy to teach, I definitely want to learn.
not sure... maybe both? last time i turned into a monster i didn't remember anything at all afterward, almost. just flashes of things. i'm still not entirely sure what the heck i did that time aside from y'know, hurt people dunno if being able to actually remember i did that again this time is better though

[ Oh. and just as she was starting to feel guilty, there he goes!! ]
He's just a baby!! And you rescued him! I
can't believeactually yes I can.You didn't eat at all on the road to Coba. You gave the meat I cooked away when you thought I wasn't looking.
You're raising animals again. Do you get pigs and sheep next if lots of chicks hatch? (I do want to see them when they do!!)
