Mandatus

KNOWS A LOT! Like a LOT a lot! Way more than you'd expect her ever to know, in that same way all kids know! Might have a telepathic connection to her twins. They're all super coordinated, of course they're talking to each other right now, they're talking about how stinky YOU are! Yeah, you!

Where is she taking that dead dunerunner? None of your business! She's learning how to hunt, like everyone learns to hunt, and that's her catch for the day. She gets to keep it, like everyone does, unless it's their job and they're a grocer!

(She's taking it down to the old beating engines of the earthmover. She's sneaking down with her twins like they always do, and they'll have a feast down there and pour the blood into the old power coils that no one has retaken and no one uses. She will stare in wonder as her twins direct the power into the room around them; it will flicker, and she'll spring into action, digging up frayed wires and twisting them back into shape almost before her twins have diverted the live lightning away from her.)

(She will become an engineer, one day, with that wonder and that passion. She will be accepted into Goldensparc. Her skills will be some of the most sought-after, in time.)

(But that will be then, and this is now. What matters most is the singed iron under her claws and her twins' awe as they play with systems she reactivated.)
