Archive: Zella & Sabretail: Prosthetic Problems

Outline

Part 1

At some point Sabretail has the idea to make the blades on his tail fins retractable

He tries to get this idea across to Zella

He eventually does by brining Zella a butterfly knife and making a flicking motion with the end of his tail

Part 2

Zella and Sabretail visit some far off city, probably for the Dragon Defenders

People start to gather around Sabretail, as he's kind of a legend there. Some people didn't think he was real

Some kids are fascinated with him, and Sabretail feels overwhelmed

He tried to run from them

Person Zella is meeting with yells out to the kids to watch out for the blades on the tail

Zella say it's fine, she made them retractable

Sabretail keeps trying to get away from the kids

He takes a somewhat friendly-annoyed defensive stance

Person Zella is meeting with tells the kids to leave him alone and run along

Kids move on

Sabretail returns to Zella's side

Zella shakes hands with attendee and her prosthetic arm comes off

She puts it back on and mentioned it's kind of been loose all day for some reason

< On their way back to Rayhaven >

While flying high in the air, Zella stretches and her prosthetic arm gets blown off

They continue flying for a second while Zella gives out a sigh, Sabretail chuckles

They loop back around, swoop under the falling prosthetic and grab it in midair

She puts it back on

< At Rayhaven >

When they land she starts to tinker with her prosthetic arm

While tinkering, she makes a remark / joke about how Sabretail's prosthetics stay on

She then wonders if they would if she wasn't riding on the saddle

They test it out and it turns out that they do not stay on

Zella begins to work on the prosthetic wings so that Sabretail can fly without her

Author's Note

Like most things, all of these parts came to me while I was trying to fall asleep one night. I don't know, thought that these would be funny scenes / moments.
