She considered the offer for a moment… to team up or to finish the job herself? On the one hand, she’d come pretty far on her own and didn’t really fancy digging “bones” all over again. On the other hand, she could do a lot worse as far as partners went. That girl clearly knew her stuff!

She looked up, studying her older housemate for any signs of an ulterior motive. “Possibly,” she replied. “I don’t fancy digging again, but I have an uncovered Chinese Fireball skeleton over here. If you’d like to help me put it together, that would cut out the digging step entirely for you.” She did say she wanted to consolidate effort...

While giving up mid task was incredibly uncharacteristic of her, Sage would much rather spend her effort sorting out the skeletal structure of a dragon than going on an extended scavenger hunt. Worker smarter, not harder and the only ulterior motive here would be precisely that which her younger housemate had already offered freely.

"That works for me, she nodded upon setting the rib bones aside entirely and moving over to where her housemate was working. "Excellent job on the vertebrae thus far," she nodded approvingly - finally someone she could work with and wasn't a project themselves. It was a relief coming off of tutoring and pulling teeth Reuben for a whole term with the most humiliating of results. Now if only she could get herself to give up on the tantalizing thought that he was a project worth fixing - a problem for future Sage at a future date. "I'll see to getting these legs together so they can attach to what you've finished," she nodded while shifting on to her knees and pulling the a ilium, ischium, and femur out from the pile and sliding them into place to start on one of the hind legs. She was honestly super eager to start fitting together the phalanges - she found that part of any and all skeletons to be absolutely fascinating.
