You pat the ground next to you and once Sage has sat down, you start brushing out her coat.

She really needed it, with all the fur that comes away even on this first brush stroke.

The fur's not matted, but it's thick and loose, coming out in long, thick strands - perfect for felting, hence the name - and you can only imagine how itchy Sage has been getting while this fur grows.

In short order, Syurm's bustled over and gathered up what you've brushed out of Sage's overcoat, before waiting attentively for you to brush out the last of her loose coat, whereupon Sage turns around and hugs you briefly, before walking off with a spring in her step as Syurm gathers up this second batch of fur and bustles off to add the fur to the other pile, which she's diligently arranged and appears to be fashioning into cloth, presumably so she can sow a robe for Sage when she evolves.

It's not long before the others return and you head in to help Sarah and Tom with their homework before dinner - a simple, but hearty stew which is just the sort of food for cold, rainy weather like this.

Sorry for the abrupt jump. If you've got other stuff you want to do before we move on, by all means let me know. I'm tired right now, is all.
