Her paws worked the leaf, doing her best to ignore her master. She weaved the fronds of the leaf together doing her best to keep if tight. This was a craft she had learned in Judila. He was right that his father had used her as nothing more than a toy, chaining her up and keeping her as far from others as possible. Though why the man feared her having any kind of knowledge or use beside a bed warmer she hadn't a clue. Perhaps he was weak and sick? She had figured out that he seemed to have other issues already but her knowledge was just that knowledge.

Once she had most of the fronds weaved and it was tight enough it wouldn't come apart she started nipping off the lose ends with her teeth. It took her a moment but once she had that done she had a pouch with a small hole in the top. the final step was to flip it inside out and she pushed what would become the inside and bottom through the hole before letting her paw up and watching it flip itself from there. Perfect.

She grabbed it before moving to the pile of feathers and starting to pick through them. The short down would be useless for jewelry, but maybe useful for feather pillows. She started placing them in the pouch as quickly as possible. He seemed ready to leave and she wasn't about to make him angry by waiting too long for her. Maybe she should stash the pouch somewhere on the island. Though then again there was no guarantee they would come back here.
