[Introduction: Zachry] Bronze be burnin'...

[Spoiling the whole section of the novel]The bolt had entered the flesh just as they where entering Palalo track, and it'd been a wonder that Zachry hadn't fallen off the horse, another wonder yet that he'd caught on to Somni' auguring, and another again that the Kona had all fallen to their deaths in the river bed

Fuchsia's outside on the porch, enjoying the weather, and writing some poetry. She might be rather dusty from having spent a good portion of the last day in the attic, shoving things aside, looking for bits and pieces of furniture, trying to make herself a proper place.

Her room she's had for the past two years is nice enough, but now she wants a place for her imagination to run even wilder.

Finally, something that makes perfect sense. "I had a big -- stone dwelling." She uses his words, hoping she's clear.

"And you're a farmer. We have animals around here."

"Ain't no planter," Zachry corrects, "I'm a Valleysman'n I minder the goats."

"That's the same thing, isn't it? Just what you farm, plants or goats?" For her it is, but this man has some strange ideas about how to say things.

It's a lot for her mind to take in.

That just leaves Zachry deciding that Fuchsia doesn't know anything and ain't got no smarts, but he knows better than to call her names.

"That don't matter," he decides. "I ain't got no goats to minder here."

This is epic old, should we maybe wrap it up?

Fuchsia's not known for being the most clever.

"You could find some. I think there's everything here, even dragons."

We can totally wrap this up now!]

He doesn't know what they are, but he agrees - if only because he takes this as dismissal.

"Yay, sis, so I will." He stands, hops on the railing, then on the grounds, "Mind the words'o Sonmi!"

And with that, he's off.

There you go!
