How does he earn his mark? *spoilers*


In the eyes of his family, he didn't do anything. The farm is still in bad shape and in need of some major work. The kid just got lost and made his way back. He didn't help the farm in any way and doesn't deserve a mark. Poppa Dinosaur must be rolling in his grave.

He took care of the critter, which was what his dad wanted him to do in the first place. Since he's no longer stealing their food they don't need to get the whole harvest in.

Suitable answer. Thanks.

Except that his family doesn't know or care about that. All they know is he took off when sorely needed and showed up after the harvest.

Good thing that they can talk then.. :)

They should have fit in some way to imply he told them about his adventures. The instant cut to the silo, with it clearly still being the same time of day and all of them being dead silent didn't give the impression the family got any information on what happened

He earned his mark by surviving on his own. It's not that complicated.

But he did not survive on his own, he did it through help from the human pet.
