Easily Handled

Let's review, Jozk's dying request for the Snathe delivery was:

[*]1. Go straight North to the City of Men (Human Kellwood)

They're a good 10 or so miles south-west from the Cabin, which is itself a few miles into the forest from the City. She rather bee-lined for the Petrucci residence!

[*]2. Keep it secret, keep it safe!

Rosa barely bothered there, though as a young Orycalope she thinks the Rose Sisters could handle whatever got Jozk, who looked pretty helpless by her estimation. Unless it was someone like Charby… (but I mean, they lived didn't they?)

[*]3. Only give it to Zeno, no other Scotodino.

Well at least she didn't run into any Scotodino on the way! Elma (the Scotodino giant from early archive and ReVamped) would have just taken it to pick deer meat out of her teeth and they would've just "Goodday, ma'am"-ed out of there right quick! "Maybe she knows Zeno? We're sure it'll get to him eventually…"

And finally:

[*]4. Don't let it get into the hands of the Anh Keth.

It's like she was trying to fail this mission on purpose!! Not that they would even know what an Anh Keth was, but Jozk was operating under the assumption the girls could follow rules 1 through 3. Well, at least the other sisters tried to gently remind her! Truly, Rosebud is the only one really emotionally invested in this, having a bit more emotional maturity than the younger Rose Sisters.

Jozk is just lucky enough that his soul isn't actually in that butterfly so he didn't have to bear helpless witness to this incompetence!!
