[Accidental Video Post]

[It's a strange scene that makes its way onto the Network when Rudy's device flickers on; it's even harder to identify what, precisely, the strangest part is. After all, it might be the fact that a wolf has taken up residence in what is probably an adolescent boy's bedroom and is currently lounging on the bed's navy blue

[Nathan whistling enthusiastically and waving a stick at the camera. Because obviously that's exactly what every wolf wearing headphones wants.]

Hey! Here boy! Fetch!

[The stick is then thrown somewhere offscreen. Because obviously the wolf can retrieve it when he's in someone else's bedroom entirely.]

Ribbit.

[Apparently he is a multilingual wolf. Or at least, one with a sense of humour that appears to be in line with Nathan's own, given current circumstances.]

[Oh. Well, Nathan's more than happy to play along with this. A grin flashes across his face briefly, before it's replaced with a look of concern.]

Hey, it's okay, frog feller. Did you get stuck in the body of the big, bad wolf?

[video]

[prefers_chess]

No. I'm merely practicing my French.

[immortaltwat]

Ohhhhhhh. Well, it's very good. You know. For a wolf.

[video]

[prefers_chess]

Oui, je sais.

[Yes, I know.]

[video]

[immortaltwat]

[Just... staring. Which goes on for about ten seconds as he tries to work that out.]

You know, I think you may be a little more advanced than I am. I never did pay much attention in French.

[video]

[prefers_chess]

Apparently not.

[A beat.]

Moo.

[video]

[immortaltwat]

What's that one? Spanish?

[video]

[prefers_chess]

American.

[video]

[immortaltwat]

Isn't that just what you are, though?

[Brilliant thing to say to a Canadian, obviously.]

[video]

[prefers_chess]

[Obviously. Have your reply in full, rapid French, Nathan.]

A question presumably motivated either by sheer ignorance or a misguided attempt to provoke me by playing on my theoretical stirrings of patriotism. Which begs a question in response: are you an ignoramus, or merely a twit?

[video]

[immortaltwat]

[It's the former, Rudy. And ignoramus. But obviously Nathan can't tell you that himself, since he doesn't have a clue what you just said.]

Yeah, sorry, didn't catch a word of that.

[video]

[prefers_chess]

[Sadly, that was sort of the point anyway.]

The former, apparently. Interesting.

[video]

[immortaltwat]

Okay, you've lost me. The former what, exactly?

[video]

[prefers_chess]

I don't fetch. I'm also not American.
