Three for "Dangit" Duvi: (#;), ( '{' ) & ( [?]o[?])Ren ([?]-[?] ). Especially interested in that last, considering Sahra's response.

(You read the book! Yays!)

Uncomfortable: “Can’t rightly say off'a the bat. Used'a be I’d get myself in a het about the squirt’s(Sahra’s) tryin'a talk. Reckon seein’ Mama angry is pretty much up thar. Uh. Of all of it, though? I reckon it were gettin’ picked out fer dum-dum duty after that bomb made me deaf. Weren’t pretty ‘nuff for being a pet. Weren’t useful 'nuff for nowt elts. Made me feel like walkin’ carbon trace ya know?”

Daydreams: “Hey’d I ever tell y'all 'bout Kera Matherson?” [Goes on an hour-long diatribe]

Special friends: “Well, I already done tole ya 'bout Kera. Uhm. Guess m’ true-pa’s gotta be on that list. He’s got hisself a way wif words. Real quick in the upstairs, if ya get what I’m sayin’. Love ta learn me some o’ that. Y'know. Since I’m 'dangit’ Duvi 'n all.”
