The last straw

“Sure!” Mercury readily agreed. Adding a bit of flare to their creation might be fun, and he was always down for a bit of a challenge. He grasped the straw when she requested it, holding it tightly to shape so she could wrap the twine around it. “What do you think, should we make four legs, a body, and then attach them together and try to get the placement right?” he asked. It might be easier than trying to assemble it all together right off the get go.

Having the legs done would also give them more to balance the body on when they got to that. They could always tweak and reshape the straw as they went as needed. After that, they could give it silly hats or the like. He grinned, already enjoying himself.
