Currently engaged in the business of labeling some of her finds from earlier in the day, Joselyn nearly snaps charcoal in her hand out of sheer ambient stress before parsing the tone with which Tony has interrupted her thinking—

“What are you doing?”

Oh, no, she has snapped it. And now there's charcoal all over her hand. She might as well get up, so she does, unfolding all five foot three of herself to come and see what he's looking at.

Tony is sitting ramrod straight and holding the thaumoscope out at full arm's length, his notes having fallen to the wayside. A few dials are still turning, but one of the finer needles is forced to a stop beneath the very slight weight of the animal that has landed there.

It's a frog. A bright yellow-green hide reflects oily rainbow colours, which is not the strangest thing about it. The strangest thing is that between its bulbous eyes is a third bulbous eye, and it blinks slightly out of rhythm with the other two while being otherwise identical.

"It's looking at me," Tony says, instead of answering her question, "I think."
