Pupils big and round, like sticker.
Transcript
The doctor holds up a large round sticker with a rocketship on it and smiles.
Dr. Henriques: Would a sticker make you feel better?
Talita looks back over her shoulder at the sticker with wide, plaintive eyes.
Later, Talita is sitting in the park on a picnic blanket behind the human apartments, in conversation with Gillie. She is wearing the sticker on her tank top.
Gillie: (ASL) Ask me questions in sign!
Talita nods and holds up her hands.

Well, not only do they keep the GUI icon set of our times (see comic+discussion here), they also still use cartoon rocket imagery in spite of disassembling real spaceships for a living! 😀

What can I say, some icons can be surprisingly long-lasting. (Even if a cartoon rocket wouldn’t be as old at this point as, say, the heart symbol)

Note the placement of the sticker within reach of her trunk, if anyone was wondering how Talita peeled the sticker off its backing without having fingerprints…
Although, also note the closeup of Talita’s hand, and the clear view of the fingertip-like pads inside the hoof-nails. A lot of manual-dexterity stuff may be easier for Talita than I thought…
Tentament
Maybe the doctor stuck it on her

“Oh no, a sticker with a rockent on it, my weakness.”
Um, I’m wondering how the others centaurs will react to Talita’s shredded body type. That’s really the least of concerns, but it could be at least raise some interesing comments on they part.

I think the author’s commented on that before, in one of the Q&A posts on … Tumblr? Or on here? But yeah – she is absolutely shredded compared to most homeworld centaurs.

The best doctors (bosses, friends, volunteer organizers) are the ones who understand that I am still a small child who likes treats and shiny things to show I did a good job
