But there was also a possibility there. It added a new avenue to convey meaning. If she ever heard a dwarf speaking in a different syllabic pattern, she would know that something was different and to pay attention. Perhaps it could be another way for them to convey emotion.

However, there did not seem to be any dwarfs nearby, and ultimately their strange but intriguing manner of speech was not important at the moment. What was important was the fact that Tisk thought she had the spell down. She had not yet had the chance to test it yet, but she had been able to judge exactly what was called to her mind when she thought of mop with the right modifiers.

After two days, the right thoughts were finally being conjured up. Which meant that it was time for some field tests.

Despite her preliminary success, those two days were not without losses. At least three more bunnies had been eaten, though only one of those had been by birds. The other two had been taken away by some dog-like creature.

Tisk felt bad about their deaths, but she had already demonstrated her inability to protect these bunnies through direct intervention. Besides, she really did not think there was much that she could do. With the healing jelly and near-constant eating, Tisk thought her legs were getting better. At least she hoped that they were healing all right. She had heard adventurers mention bones going bad when healing. Her legs still hurt, even though they had surely received anywhere from eight days to two weeks’ worth of healing while she had been working.

Unfortunately, Tisk did not think even Sir Ironpaw would be able to help. By the time she had noticed the dog-thing grabbing one of her kind and running off, the thing had practically already been in the woods again. She could have had Sir Ironpaw constantly standing guard, but that did not seem like it would be good for her own convalescence, and her magic was still limited.

Luckily, it still seemed like there were plenty of bunnies left, though Tisk had not gotten an exact count. She had refrained from going into their burrow. It seemed rude to invade someone else’s home unnecessarily. It would have been one thing if she had been in danger and needed somewhere to escape, or if she was doing it to help. But really, it would just be because she was a bit nosey and curious. So Tisk abstained.

Still, she could not imagine how these bunnies were able to sustain such attrition rates without a dungeon spawning new bunnies to replace them. She was reasonably certain that she had not, in fact, wandered into a dungeon. At the very least she had not felt any urge to stay within or any other sort of rules. In her old life, she had always been very aware of the dungeon, even if it often sunk into the background.

The only other reasonable possibility Tisk could think of was
