Bowyetta looked up from her blanket. To avoid spewing smoke in the
Repairman’s face, she tried to speak with her mouth covered, but
breathing in her own smoke only made her feel more sick, so she
uncovered her face completely. “Is being true? Bowyetta’s arrows are not
harmed?“

She laid there in silence for a moment, before Vinny spoke up. “Psst, Bowyetta~! Now is the time to say it~!”

“Oh,
um!” Bowyetta remembered. “Mr. Sir? Bowyetta is much grateful for you
have saving her. If not being for you she would not be here right now.
You know… Smithy is very much wanting for Bowyetta to be destroyed…” She
went silent once more, before speaking again. “Beepsumu is telling
Bowyetta always that ‘Susumu’ is protecting her… But… Bowyetta is
knowing what this is meaning… ‘Susumu’ is-”

Suddenly, Bowyetta sat
up in the bed. The chill she was feeling became much sharper, and she
was shaking much harder now. Despite the cold she felt something burning
on her back, as though someone were glaring at her from afar. “A-are
you also feeling of that?”

The Repairman paused, and then nodded. “Those that were hit will be back in shape in no time.”

He beamed at Bowyetta’s thanks. “I mean, your arrows did most of it…I was just along for the ride…”

He winced as he heard the name of a mun.

“…I felt something,” he finally said, after a pause. “It might…be best not to mention her…”

He would have been worried about tactfully bringing that up if Bowyetta didn’t start shivering. Clearly, referencing this “Susumu” was a bad idea anyway.
