[Thankfully, Konoha doesn't go into the photo gallery, instead just straight to the camera... one of the few features on the devices she has made sure to master.]

Okay... camera button... click the reverse arrow thing...

[Selfie mode activated... she holds out one hand to gesture Atsushi to come closer, holding the phone at arms length in the other.]

Come on, Sensei! It's a "Konoha is really short now and I have to teach her how to use human legs right" picture!

[tigerpoet]

Oh, of course!

[Selfie time! He smiles widely, and wraps an arm loosely around Konoha's side. Just two friends learning how to walk on human legs.]

[lumberlady]

[Selfie time! Konoha smiles wide and hugs Atsushi close, carefully putting her selfie taking practice to work in order to snap a cute picture of two... human people! Well, human lower half or not, it was obviously Konoha...

And then she hands the phone back over with another smile, a bit softer, a bit more emotional.]

Now Sensei will always have that picture, even if I disappeared tomorrow!

[She doesn't want to, she wants to go home properly, but- Just in case. Just in case.]

[tigerpoet]

Konoha... I'd never forget you even if you didn't leave a picture behind.

[Sorry, she's getting a tighter hug for this.]

[lumberlady]

[Hnnngh- She may not have the extra strength the physical makeup of her jinba body lent her, but even bipedal she's still well built, and Konoha squeeze back tighter instinctively.]

I know you wouldn't forget me, but the pictures just make it even easier to remember, no matter what- !

[tigerpoet]

That's true. Maybe I should write a story about you so I remember you extra well.

[That's how writers immortalize people, after all.]

[lumberlady]

Eh- A story about me?

[Look, she knew he was a writer, but... writers wrote about... princes and nobles and heroes, right? (She still wasn't super up to date about... modern literature genres.)]

No one wants to read that, Sensei! I haven't killed any oni or had a love affair at court... not anything like that!

[tigerpoet]

You'd be a wonderful protagonist, Konoha. I'm sure plenty of people would want to read about you and cheer for you.

[Sure he writes about historical figures more than anything, but people love an everyman. Everyhorse.]

[lumberlady]

I don't know...

[She's so used to the idea of story heroines just being so much grander, princesses and supernatural beings and goddesses... It feels strange to think of a story about someone who considered herself just a farmer's daughter and a lumberyard worker. But she also isn't about to say that Atsushi was wrong... He definitely knew more about writing than she did...]

When... When I get better, I'm going to read sensei's books!

[She actually... is walking a little better when distracted by talking, not overthinking the physical movements and sensations.]

Which one should I read first?
