Rill picks the wrong little thing for a skipping stone.
Transcript
Panel 1: Rill stands at the river's edge holding a smooth grey oval pebble, considering it as a skipping stone. A tiny leaf-hooded reed spirit watches behind. Rill has not thrown it.
Rill: "A perfect skipping stone."
Panel 2: In close-up, the oval grey object in Rill's open palm reveals two surprised eyes and four tiny legs: it is an original little stone creature.
Stone creature: "Please don't."
Panel 3: Rill lowers the little stone creature safely onto the bank beside the water, while the reed spirit watches.
Rill: "How do you travel?"
Panel 4: The little stone creature walks along the bank on its short legs in the evening light. Rill strolls slowly beside it and the smiling reed spirit follows.
Stone creature: "At my own pace."
