(Foxy's been quite busy as of late, from what I can tell. Seems she has her hands full with just posting for Evaerisial...)
Jenny's nostrils are suddenly filled with a quite wretched stench. The gore covering the stinger has something else mixed in with the blood and flesh...something she remembers the smell of all too well...
(flashback)
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Jenny was fighting off a group of wasps with Samantha, back when she was still at the rank of Major. They had attacked a small merchant cartel carrying sugar, and they were just lucky enough to be nearby when it happened. Sam was holding her own just fine, but Jenny was still inexperienced with wasps; she didn't know about the hormone sac on the stinger back then, and quickly found out as she cut a wasp open at the abdomen. By the time Sam could shout at her to look out, four wasps had surrounded her, stingers moving in for the kill.
Jenny couldn't help but exclaim "Dammit!" as the barbs of death lunged forward at four different angles. Thinking fast, she ducked beneath them, and managed to avoid three of them entirely...but the fourth stinger nailed her across her back, near the left shoulder. Long story short, her and Sam eventually mopped them up, but she never forgot the pain of that one nick they gave her...especially considering the permanent scar it left on her.
The rather unpleasant recollection makes Jenny shudder, but unlike last time, she acts fast enough to avoid a second incident. She immediately severs the hormone sac, and bats it away from the caravan and everyone else with her katana's flat side, making sure to get the fluids off of it with a quick swish through the air. She then proceeds to wipe the fluids off of the stinger as well, using a cloth from her sharpening kit; those things are made to eliminate odors, as it's not the best idea to be walking around with your kit smelling like blood and decay...
With all that done, Jenny heads back to where Myu's at, carrying the stinger over her back (with the barbs away from her, of course).
"Hey Myu, look at what I found!" she comments cheerfully, feeling rather proud of her little find. This thing'll make a fine blade...
