Wren stands in the middle of a small patch of dirt they’ve found round the back of someone's house in Port Ffirst. Vywk Vywk, one of the green skinned Grungs from the Frog Bog stands before them holding out the fabled whistlestick in her webbed palms.
She then swings the stick in a quick flourish of her right hand, using the momentum to create a short sharp whistle as the stick pinwheels to their side. Then just as suddenly she stands still and with a perfectly neutral expression she looks up to Wren, giving them a small nod.
Wren quickly flourishes their own stick, trying to mimic the movement, and proceeds to perfectly smack themself square in the forehead.
“Fucckkkkkkk”
They nurse the bruise slightly, only to look across and see Vywk Vywk giving an unimpressed look with a raised froggy eyebrow.
“Okay, okay. I’ll try again.”
There’s a lot of tries, a lot more forehead smacking, plenty enough swearing to get a nearby passerby annoyed, and even more repeat demonstrations from Vywk Vywk. But eventually, just as the sun is starting to set, Wren finally produces their first short sharp note.
Their cheer is heard halfway across Port Ffirst.
