Live for the Cottage Core

Thorn had been heading back to the garden area wanting to find a nice large.  The last stick he’d played with had clearly been too small.  He needed a really really big stick to chew into the right shape and swing about.  It seemed the main thing Thorn had made so far was to turn branches into twigs.

His plans of a stick were diverted however when he spotted his sister plopped partially on top of a life pile.  Huh, that had potential!  It seemed the leaf piles went pretty deep.  Look how much of Talyssa was in them.  Thorn pondered this idea for a moment and then ran charging at a pile, leaping up high to crash down into it with a bark of conquest in the air, splashing down in the leaf pile with a huff.  The leaves he landed on crushed down, pressed into the ground.  It was still a bit of a hard landing but not nearly like it would have just landed on the stone.  Thorn knew what it felt like, to fall on stone, from earlier mishaps.  Snapping at leaves right in front of his face and swatting at them, Thorn did a good job of helping to make a mess of the piles.  “Hi Taly!  This is great!  You can go real deep in here.”
