Gossamer pulled a few turkey feathers out of her travois to add fletching to the atlatl dart. Placing one of the feathers between her paws she took her own bone knife and cut the feather in half before chewing off the excess point. Asta took their pine pitch stick and started to heat the pitch over the fire. Once it started to melt Gossamer took it and spread some on the back end of the dart, carefully positioning the stick with her paws so it didn't roll over. Next she carefully set the pitch stick down then picked up one of the feather halves and stuck it onto the stick, holding onto the feather until she was sure it was dry. Once one feather was done she added two more so there were three positioned evenly to form dart fletching.
Gossy turned her attention back to the atlatl. She had the tines removed now and all that was left was the base of the antler. She started chewing on it to form a notch that would help hold the dart in place. Once she was done she set her work aside.
