How to Catch a Reindeer
Previously unsuccessful in the search for Hitty-Reindeer, Tansy and Constance decide to consult the local wildlife expert.
Þóra says that she has recently seen reindeer nearby, and makes a few suggestions on how to catch one. These include searching in reindeer-friendly habitat, wearing appropriate clothing, offering fresh delicious lichen and speaking in quiet, soothing tones of voice.

There is a sad lack of fresh delicious lichen in this neighbourhood.

That reindeer is just perfect!!
How did you make such wonderful antlers?!
I hope they do catch him for a little bit…
After several failed antlers, I ended up giving my pattern to a friend. He bent and welded some brass wire and fixed them to a tiny plate which I surgically implanted into the forehead. I used two-part epoxy putty to make them spatulate (so the reindeer can clear snow with them while searching for lichen) and painted them with acryllic. I had to rebalance the hind end too, the poor reindeer got a lot of mauling, and was glad to escape to the nearby park, where Constance and Tansy are hoping to find him and treat him to some fresh delicious lichen.
