Re: Shear Sheep [PE 1/23]

"Working on it."

That part of Ender's mind that filed away all important lessons filed away the kicking-sheep thing, shook its head, and laughed. But on the outside, Ender was all concentration and nimble speed as he clicked on the clippers and pulled a nice stripe of wool off the sheep's side.

It was a really diagonal stripe, though, and it wasn't as deep in some patches as it was in the others. He also had to watch for Claire's hands, and that meant this might take more time than he'd originally thought. "Try the head," he said, covering up a mild frown with a carefully neutral expression.
