"There are lots of dumb brave people hassling whatever you've got instead of balrogs?"

"Yeah, lots of brave dumb people hassling me and the family I had there and trying to get us to stop doing things or ruining the things we do."

"I guess Angband'd be a nice change. Though I don't think anybody's likely to come bug us here either except maybe like his lordship once he's recovered."

"That's also neat! Though there's less material for my art here than there was at Angband so it's sort of a mixed bag."

"I think I was imagining you could do with the animals and fish and stuff. You got the treehouse to grow like that, I think that's super cool!"

"Yeah, and also you and me and Kat. Plenty of things to work with."

"Do you s'pose you could fix it so she didn't hurt all the time from being an orc?"

"Oh, sure! Uh, I've noticed that orcs seem to hurt a lot but not what causes it, but I can probably figure that out."

"I think it's 'cause their souls are like Elf souls and don't fit right in their bodies? I'm not sure quite how that works though."

"If the souls are feeling pain I don't know if I can do it but so far I've mostly not seen souls feel things except for maybe oaths and osanwë, so I bet it'll be fine."

Bonesaw inspects Kat's skin inquisitively. 

"Baweh."

Bonesaw inspects things underneath the skin next - turning off all of Kat's pain before doing so since otherwise it might be distracting. 

Kat thinks it is HILARIOUS to have her pain turned off and cackles about it.

Oh that's so cute!

Is this the thing causing the pain? No... Is this the thing? .... Nope. 

Bonesaw continues searching for things for a while.

"Is she gonna have scars?"

"I dunno, think she should?"

What about this? Nope that was supposed to be that way whoops she'll put it back now...

"I think it'd be neat if she didn't."

"Kay, I'll do that then."

Squish squish. 

"Who can fit soooo much blood in their tiny body? You can! Yes you can!!"

Bonesaw pats the tiny baby head, getting some of the aforementioned blood on it.

Weird, Bonesaw isn't even touching Beka.

Search search search.

"Huh."

"I think I figured out what it is but I have no idea what's even causing her body to irritate her nerves like that - I can still fix it by making it so the thing stops being painful but I'll need to add some extra nerves to compensate so she can feel other things like normal." 

"Oh, that sounds - good probably -"

Bonesaw grabs a bit of Beka and starts stripping her skin to get at the nerves.

"Um, am I gonna be able to feel things normally if you take those."

"Yeah, I'm only shaving some so the regrowth agent will make sure it's all back and working in a day or so, it's just harder to do that for a baby since they don't have as many nerves to start with."

Shave, twist into a baby nerve, and repeat! It's almost soothing.

Beka holds still and closes her eyes and reads Kat's mind to remind herself that it doesn't hurt her a bit.
