The boy reaches into a side pocket of his satchel and comes back with a stick of charcoal, stabilized with wood and twine to turn it into a more comfortable writing utensil, which he then turns on a particularly large bit of rock rubble. It takes several minutes of printer-like drawing for Dustin to precisely recreate, in monochrome, what is visible on the Temba mural: A pictographic history of the Agrii from a Funfrond's perspective, starting with a peaceful, nature-based coexistence, followed by the appearance of advanced civilization and storms at the outer edges, with tiny Funfronds and other plant-like creatures interspersed between. Dustin includes the odd dots and lines found throughout the mural as charcoal exclusions, and completely blacks out the top rim that is still missing.
