The Southern group looks on in wonder at the food growing out of the ground and thinks about how this can be possible. Food had always come from something that was alive, something that needed to be hunted - and killed. But, this food was almost as good as meat and just as filling, yet it comes out of the ground! A few Snow Brutes wonder if killing is actually all that necessary, but quickly dismiss the idea as silly. Hof steps forward and says the Cindorayi word for "food" then says the word for "farm" then shrugs his shoulders, basically asking 'how do you grow the food and how does it work?'.[@Mihndar]

Faw, among the Platta, helps them blend and shows how well this makes them blend into the environment. She even shows them how helpful it can be by blending into the lush, waiting, and snatching a rodent off of the ground. Faw says in the Platta language (except for the word "Blend" in her own language), "Faw... Help blend." The Brute says to the Platta as she assists them. Faw also gives the Snow Brute equivalent of a smile, a small non-threatening curl of the lips. 
Faw then thinks a moment and says to the Platta with the white cloth, "Faw... Help... Platta... Platta help Faw..." she again thinks for a moment before saying the Snow Brute words for "until Faw is better" she attempts to convey the meaning of the words by feigning sick ness, then getting up and giving a smile and acting happy. So basically she is telling the Platta that she will help out if she could stay with the Platta until she is strong again, or at least strong enough to return home. [@Aweirdgamer]

At the Snow Brute village, there has been a breakthrough with copper. Fire, when hot enough, applied to the new stone would make it become bendable. Now, all the Brutes need to do is figure out what exactly to use this on. The first use is obvious: Weaponry.
In Dud's cabin he had placed the Jek skull upon his head. The "helmet", as Dud had begun to call it, fit quite snug, but not too tight. The hide, however, was only able to be draped over his shoulders. That only protects his back and would probably fall off during combat. "There has to be a way to make this work...", Dud remarks.
