>Continue on without the Husktop. You don't really want to talk to FRIEND, they'll just razzmatazz you about your lusus anyway. ... uh. Yeah. That's exactly what you were thinking, too. It's not that you're afraid or anything!! You just... er... have bigger fish to fillet. Man, what you wouldn't give to sink your fangs into a big fresh fish right about now.
>Share a warm embrace with your sweet, dear, precious LUSUS. ... okay, admittedly that WOULD be a brand new tactic that MIGHT catch her offguard and may even have a miraculous yet astronomically microscopic chance of working.  On the other hand... well... isn't the simple act of daring to exist enough of a hazard to your health? |

 Already there, pal. >Back away slowly, and prepare to hit your Lusus with the telescope if she comes nearby. O-okay, okay, okay... okay. It's cool. You've got this. Put on your Big-Girl Snarl and just stay calm. It's not like it's your first time tussling with her or anything. ... you, uh... hope it won't be your last, either. You stand strong as you await certain doom (that is to say, your lusus' doom... after you clobber her), and it finally occurs to you that... you're still alive. ... it... isn't like her to keep her prey waiting. And she's not one to refuse a potential challenge either. Why hasn't she made a move yet?  |

You know. . . Your lusus is getting older. And by the blood on her paws, she's faced several adversaries today. Perhaps she has bitten off more than she could chew. Figuratively and literally. Perhaps she's wounded?

You've seen your lusus injured before, but never like this! Sometimes she came to the den with random cuts and scrapes, but... ... wait... these things... you've seen them before.  ... is she unconscious? Wow... you've never seen her this badly hurt before. Actually, you haven't seen her this up close in a long time either. Not safely, anyways. Maybe you could just... remove these projectile weapons... |

Yeah, pull them out. It might hurt her to do so, but it's better than leaving them in.
Also, maybe tear a strip of cloth and wrap your hands. They might be dangerous to touch without gloves - perhaps they've been envenomed somehow.
Then, maybe slink away towards the fight scene. Your lusus might need some food to regain her strength, and she's probably left a kill behind.

You imagine that if these had been poisoned somehow, most of the dangerous substance would be in the tips. But why take any chances? >Whatever attacked your lusus is probably still around. Tend and GTFO. You hope not. You REALLY hope not. If something has the power to take down your lusus, then you REALLY don't want to meet it.  You gained: SHABBY FINGERLESS GLOVES |

Who's got two rad gloves and is a secret badass? You are, that's who.
Pat your lusus on the head. Do they take comfort in that? Who knows? Lusii are strange.

 Speaking of sacrifices... gulp... you sure hope she doesn't have a sudden burst of energy and chomps your fingers off for this.     You startle her, but surprisingly she doesn't become hostile. She must be too weak to do anything. For what seems like the first time in ages, recognition dawns on her face as she stares up at you. Her body relaxes in what you can only assume is a show of... trust. You'd assumed earlier that one of her eyes had been poked out by a slashing attack or wayward projectile. But upon closer inspection, it looks like it was removed whole and quite intentionally. |

Nice update.
I'm not sure what to suggest though.
I am not seeing any projectiles, but if they are there, remove them.
If the eye was removed intentionally, then whomever defeated your lusus probably did so from a position of power - having already won, or having powerful psychic powers, instead of being in a tough attritional struggle.
If so, then the threat level is higher still, and you should either Skedaddle away, or investigate it to learn more.
Your lusus has Rust and Blue blood, both known to be had by psychics.
OH GOD, what if they can read your mind? What if they KNOW YOU ARE HERE?

>Remove the arrows from her body  Already..? But... but this is the tamest and friendliest you've seen her in forever! Can't we just pretend that everything is okay and normal and nice for a while..? ... no... no, you know better. These things have got to go. Be strong, mama.  ... uh oh...  ... mama..?  With her burning eyes staring down at you, and her fearsome blood-stained teeth hovering mere inches away from your face, you find yourself paralyzed by fear. You feel as small and helpless as a kitten.  The small weapon slips from your trembling fingers as you feebly raise your hands to defend yourself. Not that it will do you any good. Her bite can easily snap through bone. You brace yourself for your tragic end.  Ack..! The viciousness! The violence! That horrible bloodthirsty brute!You can't believe that this is how it all ends, at the paws of your own caretaker!You thought you could trust her!! Actually, you have no idea what's going on right now. |

 The BLOODTHIRSTY BEAST gives you a thorough and brutal tongue-lashing. You attempt to shield your vulnerable face from the brunt of the attack, but you fail to... you really can't put a very convincing violent spin on this, can you? You don't understand. She's been so hostile to you for so long! Every other time you've encountered eachother, she's lashed out like crazy! >Pet her face and give her more ear scritches. She's thanking you!
 You're still really confused. You don't even have something clever to compare the sheer level of your confusion to. Think of something big, and lots of it. Like, say, a massive labyrinthine underground cavern full of CREEPY ANIMAL SKELETONS, STRANGE OBJECTS from some bygone era, and LARGE WOODEN BOXES with your symbol on them. That's how confused you are. ... huh, you guess you had something to compare your confusion to afterall. But you're feeling nearly as much happiness and relief too. You can't help but nuzzle her big soft face and give her a real good chin rub followed by ear scritches. You've missed this. You can't remember the last time you've been affectionate with eachother. She's getting some blood on your face and hands, which normally isn't that much of a problem. But you don't know if it's from other lusii or adults of your species. Sure, blood from darn near anything basically looks and tastes the same to you. But the idea of swallowing the blood of your own kind is pretty gross. >Remove the remaining arrows. ... yeah, okay. Now that you know she's cool and all, you really should get those awful weapon-ish objects out of her poor body. You wonder what they even are. You've never seen a lusus with quills or horns quite like them. Feathers on one end, hard stone-like things on the other end, and the long part is, like... flexible. You know you've seen these things before. But where? >Wonder how other folk can get down here. And if there is any meat, eat it out of starvation. Well now, let's not be too hasty. Sure, you're hungry enough to start eyeing up the rock spikes all around you like a nice juicy fish. But if you find the mutilated remains of another one of your kind, you think you'd have to pass on eating their meat. ... maybe. Probably. No, definitely! Come on! Mama didn't raise no... fellow... same-species... person eater. Not for lack of trying, mind you. You just have higher standards than she does. But if you find a dead animal, it's going straight into your belly. As for other folk... yeah. You've always wondered how they managed to get down here. You've never found a star-hole big enough to slip through, so they couldn't have just fallen down, could they? Then again, you've never been able to explore this place completely and thoroughly. Fear of your lusus was one major factor in that. You guess that's not much of a problem now, huh? You gain 3X PROJECTILE WEAPONS. |

>Complete your look by ripping your sleeves and using the fabric as bandages for those wounds. You're just chock-full of good ideas tonight, aren't you? You actually still have some scraps leftover from when you turned the bottom half of your pants into a pair of SHABBY FINGERLESS GLOVES. You hate to throw things away. You just never know when scraps and leftover materials will come in handy!  You proceed to tear off your sleeves and use one of them to clean up your lusus. You're very gentle when you wipe around her poor eye and the three smaller wounds on her side. She doesn't even flinch, just lets you go about your task whilst letting out the occasional chuff. Just to be on the safe side, you even go ahead and clean up her huge paws while you're at it. A good lone predator shouldn't leave any trails behind, and the lingering scent of blood would likely scare away prey anyways. After cleaning yourself up real quick, you do your best to fashion some handmade bandages for her face. Sadly, you just don't have enough long bits of fabric to cover up the small wounds on her huge body. It's mostly her eye-hole that you want to keep clean and healthy, so it's probably fine. |
