Love Songs (or, How Hunter Sang his Way to Falling for Rosie)

Having come from a musical background, Hunter has a habit of singing to himself as he digs for fossils. Often, he's totally oblivious, and stupendously loud. This isn't necessarily unpleasant, as he has a velvety tenor tone hampered only by its fuzziness, but it tends to perplex nearby Fighters. Typically, one can make out his take on Benjamin Britten songs (such as 'Oliver Cromwell) from halfway across Greenhorn Plains. (If anyone interrupts him during the aforementioned ditty, he skips straight to the final line: 'If you want any more, you can sing it yourself!'.)

His inclinations towards late-Romantic-onwards music hijack everything. Upon first infiltrating the starship, he responded to Dynal's manifesto with 'Founders come first, then profiteers' (Nixon in China, John Adams), and his initial reaction to defeating Saurhead was a fairly off-key 'Vincero!' (Turandot, Giacomo Puccini). (In Rivet Ravine's mines, he began to sing 'Old Joe has Gone Fishing' from Peter Grimes (Britten) to himself, and was shocked to hear McJunker reply with 'Pull them in han'fuls and in panfuls'.) Additionally, his penchant for 20th-century opera and art song has allowed him to grow closer to both Duna and Rosie.

When the boulder descended on Duna in Mt Lavaflow, he cleared away the rock as if his life depended on it. Years prior, he had been a bully; now, after years pushing others away, he couldn't risk another loss. Even when she'd been pulled from the rubble, she remained unconscious briefly. First, he carried her to a spot where they'd likely not be found, lest she be seen without disguise. Then, hoping to put her at ease for whenever she awakened, he sang her 'Deh, Vieni Alla Finestra'. Mozart certainly wasn't a bad introduction to human classical music for Duna. But ironically, the melody brought more peace to his heart than to hers.

A few nights prior, after scrambling aboard Travers' ferry to rescue Rosie, he'd pleaded to the stars with John Ireland's 'Sea Fever'. From the cabin, the captain had listened, reflecting on the quiet desperation in his one passenger's heart. Later, waiting for Rosie in the park, Hunter had begun to fear she'd not arrive. To quell his angst, he sang Britten's 'Last Rose of Summer' to the wind. At the end of the first verse, he thought he saw a motion—but on inspection, nothing. So he continued, and only at the end did Rosie emerge from behind the foliage, and comment on two things: The fact that Hunter had a beautiful voice, and the fact that the lyrics were too sad for such an encounter. How long had she been there? he asked. Apparently, she'd arrived in time to hear the very first notes sound, and waited among the trees so that she could hear the whole song. Hunter had never hated Rosie, contrary to her fears—in fact, he found something endearing about her, even if he struggled to admit it aloud. But when she confessed to listening, something shifted. He'd long been on a trajectory towards being openly affectionate with her—no man boards a boat at 1AM to rescue a girl he doesn't adore. Yet it was only there in the park, after exiting the fray of battle, that he reached the immediate, terrible, wonderful realisation that he loved her. He didn't dare say as much to her until after the Guhnash incident, but it was quite clear.

Imagine Diggins decides to try reviving a fossilized plant instead of an animal, seeing if he can create one of the very first "Vivophytes" and what effects fossil revival will have on the plant.

He calls Hunter over to assist him, but initially neglects to tell him that there's kind of a problem, actually.
