[He's really counting on your own blood not being able to poison you right now, isn't he?
It is gross, when you know the peeled-up droplet is blood. But he's dealt with grosser things than a little blood as a daily occurrence for most of his life - this doesn't register very high on the overall scale. The whole fact that you can peel it up is indeed more interesting. He pries a thin line up from the rock, looking at it closely.]
[He looks at the completely unmarked rock. A wax crayon? Does that leave marks on surfaces like charcoal does?
Well, the dried blood certainly doesn't, so what else is it like? He takes the end of each side of the strip in each of his hands and snaps-
That is, tries to snap. As thin as it is, it won't break like the ice it resembles. It doesn't even bend. The edges have cut slightly into his fingers where he held them too close, adding onto the strip.

It's like ice. [But not melting.]

...It's not my favorite color, but it would have been neat.
it's a beautiful sight!

So it can cut things. That's neat.]
What else did yours do?
