Comic panels from "Summer grass, winter worm". 1- Songtsen emerges from a doorway, eyes peacefully closed, one hand raised. Nyima storms away, arms crossed, grumpy. Thulia holds up both hands with two fingers on each. SONGTSEN: All things will develop according to their own natural time-- early rising does nothing to indicate health NYIMA: Say what you will! THULIA: I mean, four worms? You could round down to zero! SONGTSEN: They could not even fill a single spool of thread. THULIA: Not even a spool! 2- Nyima storms past Thulia, who gestures with clawed hands. THULIA: If it helps, I haven't had any worm luck either! NYIMA: As if you could beat me!
