After picking a bouquet of flowers, Litis sat down in the meadow and began to trim their stems to they were all the same length. Morsus picked off the stem of a tall plant and handed it to her to tie up the bouquet with.
Setting the bouquet down, Litis started to make a clover chain, and Morsus picked up the flowers. He began to create names for the ones he didn't know.
There's a violet, I'll name that one "snowflower", that one can be a "bloodrose"... he thought, and glanced over to Litis. She had abandoned her clover chain and was picking up all the dead leaves. Now why is she doing that? he thought, and followed the Cake Kuhna, the flowers still in his paw.
It turns out she wanted to string them together with her clover chain.
After hours of random crafts, Morsus was beginning to feel hungry, and bored.
"Litis, don't you think it's time to go home?" he called over to where she was attempting to climb a tree.
"Ah... well, it is getting late, I guess." Dejectedly, she collected all her crafts: the leaf and clover chain, the bouquet, the branch weaving, the grass weaving, the grass and branch weaving, the grass and pebble "bracelet", and an assortment of other objects. "Come on, let's go home."
Head lowered, she padded slowly in the direction of the Pen. Morsus felt bad he had suggested leaving, but it was too late to take his words back.
"You can show your crafts to the others back home," he said gently.
The Cake Kuhna brightened at once.
"Well, come on then, slow poke!" she laughed gaily, skipping ahead.
