She rose to her feet, stopped, and bent back down to retrieve the piece of bread she’d dropped after Farris’s bellowing, and made her way down the table towards him. She stood next to his mug, looking up at him expectantly as she munched on her bread. He leaned onto one elbow so he was closer to her eye level and he held up the small pebble in his hand to her with a smirk. He tilted his head towards the pewter mug on the chair. “Think ya can make that?”

“Huh?” Nenani asked, bewildered at the question.

“What? Ya gotta be shittin’ us, Kol,” Saen laughed incredulously. “S’too far fer th’ lil’un.”

Kol look offended on Nenani’s behalf. “What? Bart said she’s got an arm. Let’s see it!”

“Aye, I wanna see this,” Quinn added, nodding encouragingly at her. “Go on then, Dumplin’.”

“The pebble’s too big fer ‘er,” Herit said, getting into it too. “She’ll need something lighter.”

Excerpt from ch 10 of Dumpling.
