It squirms and writhes as she and Yeb-Uit observe it.

“Dunno this one,” Yeb admits.
“I do,” Khorine says, smugness not in the least diminished by this additional opportunity to demonstrate her expertise. “It is a native of this realm. No monster—merely a child of the woodlands.”
“Oh, so it’s not poisonous?” Cyrene sighs with relief.
“Oh, no, it’s EXTREMELY poisonous.” Khorine continues to allow her twig blight to handle the creature in her stead as she speaks, and now you know it’s more than mere squeamishness. “You’re very lucky to have me here.”
Cyrene pales, and you stifle a smirk. Instead, you signal An-Yii.
“On it,” she says, taking from her medical kit a specialized vial and a pair of tongs.
