Also Rosamund is enamoured anew. Okay not real but hello how can she not anthropomorphize when it is being so absurdly cute? She gives it another pat for good measure.]
For just doing something on the fly, he came out rather well! You should be proud of yourself. Is that what you'd like to do when you're older? Make constructs?
[She doesn't feel like the titles of puppetsmith or toymaker apply here.
When he asks after her friend, he gets an instant burst of affection.]
Oh. He is the best. I've never met anyone who could party like him. [Rosamund pops her hand in her chin and grins wide.] He's a marionette and he's made of wood, but he smokes and drinks and he dances like you've never seen.
[Never forget the pole-dance of the century.]
But he's also very sweet. He's brave, and he looks out for his friends, and he's had a very hard life. People don't consider him...I think it's best to say, he's not allowed to be himself. Or to make the same mistakes as the rest of us, and that makes life hard for him. Everyone expects so much of him just because he's different, and he's been punished a lot for things that frankly, I don't think anyone should be getting punished for.
[That grin has faded. Her head tilts in the cradle she's made for it.]
I'm hoping we can make life a little easier for him. When I go back, I mean.
