"Tudi. Let me see the Sky Piercing Dagger."
You do, not drawing it out of its holder. When Seafood reaches out for it you present it hilt first.
Seafood is... impressed, you think.
"A partial restoration of the Paragon Core. Even basal, this must have taken a lot of power at once. What did you find in the City under the earth."
So you tell him: smarty Buggz from the outside trying to dig through sealed stone portals from the surface; fungus chambers, some crunchy some itchy; buried sleepies like Wagon; dummy Buggz colonizing the heated chamber housing The Glowy; <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">Her</span></span> Temple that got blasted by The Glowy; a City full of Dimmy things you didn't stop to find out; a biggy metal room with lots of gubbins, n Da Glowy Gunn on the ceiling.
You remember not remembering for a while after trying to cut through the sproingsproing holding up the Gunn, and a little after that noticing that <span class="mu-b">Daggy</span> now always went <span class="mu-b">nnnn</span>.
Seafood's talking to himself.
"An Earthed Thunder Circuit Array. ? Put to such poor use. ? Inconceivable. Unless. An immense development in material Dao, dangerously maintained, may equal an advanced array in power. They were desperate; a scorpion striking a snake...
"Tudi. Show me this "Glowy Gunn." "
You try to, stretching out the Pouch with your two feet spread and heaving the Gunn from the middle. Past a certain point, quite early on, you carnt hup it out any more.
"<span class="mu-g"> Id's too biggy Sweetfudds. I'z carnt."
Seafood tries and carnt either, needing two chanty squiggles on the ground before he's capable, and even then there's hairline cracks appearing on his body.
"This is the weapon that destroyed the Temple."
"Nar, just biggy chunk off the top and da boss altar. It blarsted everfin in the Temple to bits tho; I mean va biggy mobbs wots mobbing up inna."
"A troop gathering. How many."
You start counting on your fingies.
"Many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many Lots. Around dat many, I fink. But derr all chunks n bitz tho, freezy inna dried melty rocks. "
"Hm. Radiant damage perhaps. ? Let's see this "Glowy"."
"Nyerr. Itz reel hotts Sweetfudds. I'z gots toastid tryna bag it. N it'z hevvy. Need Wagon n a hooky rope to tow it."
"Useless! Give me the Pouch."
You do; Seafood does another charm and hauls it out barehanded. The hairline cracks on him lengthen. He doesn't care.
"Hm. Amusing. Very amusing. A source of unremitting plain Yang will have its uses. Good find, Tudi."
He puts some squiggles on them all over, which seems to make them handle easier, and confiscates them from you with no explanation.
You expected this, just like you expect to get reel guddygudd benefits from his leavings once he's done; something you never have gotten on your own in ten thousand years of trying.</span>
