on the digestive nature of tangleweeds

OIA'I'O

and i asked myself about the present:

You and Kai have repeated this process enough that as he begins his own type of experimentation, you simply record what you see. Without feeling the pulse of his magic though, you're unsure just how much is suppleness and how much is the effect of your twin's will. "Description." You remind Kai, large blue eyes fixed on him as your pen hovers expectantly above the page.

Barbed you record easily. Were you the tinker-er type, this might be where something like velcro gets invented (and in other worlds, this is precisely how). But you aren't, and so you merely record the world as it is, making no effort to apply its principles onto anything pragmatic. "Do you feel any swelling? Numbness? Tingling?" Given the effects on your limbs, you wouldn't be surprised if something similar manifests on Kai's tongue.
