A Lesson from the Badger

Later, Finn encountered a badger with a stern expression, busy arranging wooden carvings on a stall. The badger’s demeanor was intimidating, but Finn knew they couldn’t shy away. Orson’s words about authenticity echoed in their mind, urging them to step forward.

"These are incredible," Finn said, admiring a small, intricately carved figure. Their voice was slightly more assertive than before, but still laced with uncertainty. The badger grunted in response, barely looking up.

Finn could feel the tension rising again. They knew that mirroring the badger’s gruff tone might not work in the same way it had with the hedgehog. Still, they tried to find a balance, speaking with just enough firmness to match the badger’s intensity without losing their own softness.
