Listening, listening, listening... that was what she was doing. The next thing they were to do wasn't all that exciting, but she got to cut something open so it kind of made up for it. "Time for surgery," she murmured under her breath. Grabbing her scalpel, she tried her hardest to be easy with it, but she would be making no promises here. As carefully as the first year could manage, she made a cut along the length of the resin. Too bad nothing oozed. That would have been pretty wicked to see. The young lion even managed not to cut into in too bad! Small victories here!

Her patient column hard resin thingy was already ready to go. Next step please, and let it be cool.
