The story so far
Everything you need before watchingFink is pressed to tell a story about something he claims to know nothing about. The word is Love. He answers that when you grow up without something, you spend a lot of time thinking about it. Later Brightbill tries greeting every animal and only scares them off; Roz cooks up skunk spray from overheated coils. At the swimming test, Pinktail's babies cheer for drowning, while Roz wants Brightbill independent — closer to home.
