Glaurung gnaws at the finger, eyeing the remainder of the orc speculatively. 

"Is he gonna eat more of this guy or are you done with him?"

He looks at his Bonesaw, his tonged lolling out even as the finger is still largely uneaten in his mouth. 

"I think that's enough of a treat for him tonight."

Hrmph.

Gnaw gnaw.

The orc takes a few shaky steps away. Looks at the orf. "What'd I ever do to you?" he mutters.

"Stay away from my sister," she hisses back, and he flees.

Huh.

"You have a sister?" asks Bonesaw.

"I have a lot of sisters actually but he was only bothering one of them so I figure he'll know who I meant."

"Oh."

"I used to have a brother."

"I have some of those too. What was yours like?"

Bonesaw breaks into a wide smile and starts saying, in a sing-song voice: "Well, he wasn't very good at runnin-"

She cuts herself off and her face returns to normal.

"Sorry."

"Uncle Jack had me practice a bunch in case a hero tried to distract me by asking."

"A hero?"

"A hero is someone who is popular and tries to enforce the status quo."

"What status quo, though, I've never been where you're from."

"Oh, people not doing shocking art and not breaking things and not killing or torturing people - that sort of thing."

"Oh, I can see how that'd be inconvenient."

"Yeah."

"I don't know if I can remember my brother." she says quietly. 

"Long time ago?"

"Mhm, I was six. A lots happened since then."

"So about half your life, gotcha."

Bonesaw is quiet for a bit and then would like to finish up walking Glaurung, but that evening - rather than asking for the orf to sing, she asks for her to tell her about her siblings.

Sure, she can do that. None of her siblings have earned names yet so she calls them by nicknames; everybody uses different ones for everybody they know, though people who've never met one of her siblings might refer to them with her own nickname if asking after them. The orf is the oldest, and then there's her sister; they call each other 'slut', but like, in a nice way, they have very similar personalities and have always been closest. Before they were old enough to be sluts they were just "sister", the next few are boys. The youngest sister is Teeth, she's got more teeth than most people - orcs are less consistent about anatomical details like that - and they're also big and prominent. There's Stupidface, her favorite brother, he's smart, he let her teach him to read. There's Squeaker and Swat and Pinchy and Nibbles and Bread and Wababo and Giggly and Shadow and Holler and Rat and Spiderweb and Snore and Green and Pace and she has a story for why each one has that nickname, usually something they did or seemed interested in as a baby around when they needed to age out of just being called "the baby", though Green is just greener than most people.

Bonesaw listens intently, soaking in the stories Beka tells about her siblings.

"I think my brother was named Drew," she says afterwards.

"That's a neat sounding name. Does it mean something?"
