>SHOW HER YOUR "SWORD"
You're not sure this is a good idea, but you decide to bring out the giant, jagged kidney stone you've been using to hack apart monsters. You've taken for granted just how weird and gross that is...and the fact that it was left behind by the very first such monster to threaten you and your family.
You decide against showing her the baby stone for now.

Oh my! What a specimen! You've been through quite a lot with this one, if half the stains I'm smelling are what I believe they are!

CATHY:
So glad we agree! These are strange layers indeed, many unexpected dangers slipping in from one zone or another. I'd stick together for now if I were you two, though I've just the juices to spare if you don't mind me sprucing the old gal up a bit!
