the second sunrise

[victoryhowl]

[For anyone in the vicinity, there is a big (all right, kinda average sized), white wolf napping in the flora populace of the garden. It has been a long day filled with exploring and running around. There seemed to be no sign of the silly prophet or her little bouncy travel companion anywhere in this place. Perhaps this "Paradisa" had yet to bring

[despite the extreme difference in size, there is a gutsy dachshund peering suspiciously at her]

[victoryhowl]

[Amaterasu takes notice of the other dog and her ears perk forward and towards it. It looked nothing like the dogs she had ever come across back in Nippon - no, this one was smaller and a bit more cute and Amaterasu wondered if it would be okay to feed it.

She still had a few bags of animal food (read: meat) in her possession and this seemed like a good time to use it. Perhaps it would get her some Faith points too.

Standing slowly, the wolf walks cautiously towards the Dachshund, giving a little sniff of the animal, before offering some meat. Think of it as a token of keeping calm water under the bridge for this meeting.]

[normally this one here wouldn't take to others kindly, but an offer of food at the first meeting must mean something, right? the dachshund sniffs at the meat, before taking a small bite...

hey, this is good.]

[victoryhowl]

[Oh good!

That went over well and Amaterasu tilts her head a little as she settles back into a sitting position to watch the little dog eat. Was this another resident of the castle? Was he from the town nearby? Or did he belong to someone here in the castle?]

[he continues chewing for a while, before a new presence arrives and he snaps to attention]

[lilblackdevil]

Oh, so there you are!

[victoryhowl]

[Amaterasu looks up from the other animal and over and -- oh! It's that girl from the library the other day! She barks.]

[lilblackdevil]

[pads over] Hey there. I see you two have met.

[victoryhowl]

Whuff!

[lilblackdevil]

This is my familiar. [the dachshund gives an energetic bark]

[victoryhowl]

[Familwhat?

The wolf's head cocks to the side a little as she looks down to the Dachshund with a curious gaze.]

[lilblackdevil]

[it barks at her again in response]

[victoryhowl]

[She leans down to give the little dog nudge with her nose, careful and slightly-affectionate, as if half-expecting it to answer. But she raises her head to look at the girl and then back to the dog and then to her again.

What is this familiar you speak of? She would like to ask.]

[lilblackdevil]

[the dog nudges back, seemingly taken with Ammy.

somehow the question is put across! see, she can be astute at times]

He's a kind of special animal. We formed a pact so I can fight with his powers in battle.

[victoryhowl]

[Ah, so that's what a Familiarthing is?

She looks back down to the other dog with an interested look. Powers in battle, hm? Sounded...interesting. Almost a little bit like the Canine Warriors of Kusa Village.]
