    Summary

    "Hey," comes a voice from behind him. He whirls around and sees the gardener standing there, leaning on her pitchfork, regarding him calmly.

    "Can you pace a little to the left?" she asks politely. He's never properly heard her speak a full sentence before. She has a lighter, sweeter voice than he'd have expected from her rugged appearance. She points at the turned earth with one grubby hand. "I was gonna start planting the orange saplings here."

    He glowers behind the mask. He's the Golden Guard, he's not about to let some wild witch's lackey tell him what to do. "And why, exactly, should I care?" He snarls, planting his feet more firmly in the ground.

    Her eyebrows raise, but she doesn't look angry. To put up with the Owl Lady for so long, you’d need to grow a thick skin, Hunter supposes. For a moment, he thinks that she’s just going to shrug and walk away, and honestly, fair enough.

    But then her mouth twists and she stands her ground, drawing a small, neat spell circle in the air. "Okay, let me rephrase: can you pace a little to the left? You're standing on a plant that eats flesh."

    “I make a lot of butterflies.”

    “You do,” she nodded. “They're always so pretty.”

    “Thank you.”

    “So,” said Willow, “Why a caterpillar?”

    Summary

    "Palistrom carving is an ancient and noble art," says the elderly man in front of you. He has a hard, serious face pocketed by sharp wrinkles that make him look a bit like a folded pastry, but you know better than to say such a thing, though once upon a time, you did not. You have learned through trial and error that it is safer to speak only when spoken to. "One that only the most elite of practitioners are allowed to perform now that Palistrom has become so sparse."

    You know that. It's one of the reasons (though there are many) that you wonder why a piece is sitting here on your kitchen table, and why that piece is apparently yours.
