The Cornucopia

Alice looks in fascination between her new arm and Sticks's. She carefully flexes each finger in turn as he rearranges the tools and parts.
"Actually, I think it might be a good idea if you told me, even if it was horrible. Hearing how you coped with it might help me to adjust. It wasn't too long ago that I lost my arm in the first place." She smiles wanly, hoping she doesn't offend him again but curious nonetheless.
