Fourth Pet [Action]

[thisischinatown]

[The Count adores good weather. Back home, on good days he would take walks, or force the idiotic human who often invaded his space to go on a picnic with him. Good weather in this place was hard to come by, so when it gets a little less overcast, and a little warmer, he likes to leave his door and windows open to take advantage of it.

Today is such

What do ya sell?

[Pokes his head inside the shop.]

[thisischinatown]

[The count looks up from his couch, various animals draped over him, the entire shop filled with cages and animal toys]

... I sell car parts.

[It only occurred to him after he said it that the sarcasm might go over Denmark's head]

[chatty_swan]

What are cars?

[Wanders inside and looks around, and the count should better stop him unless he wants Denmark to touch everything ever that he's looking at.]

[thisischinatown]

They are vehicles.

[The pets look at the strange man who had entered the shop, looking toward D for help. However, he is drinking tea and trying to ignore him]

[chatty_swan]

Like carriages?

[He'll try to pet this one now, making the kind of really retarded sounds that most women make as soon as they are confronted with a baby.]

[thisischinatown]

Yes, but with motors.

[The badger he is petting looks very unamused by all of this nonsense and asks the Count if she can eat this man.

D thinks on it for a moment before shaking his head]

I would prefer if you didn't talk to my animals like they are brain dead.

[chatty_swan]

They can talk?

[thisischinatown]

[The count raised an eyebrow, had Denmark heard the badger's words? Had D's magic done something strange? He decided to go with denying it]

I don't know what you're talking about, dear.

[chatty_swan]

Ya said I shouldn't talk ta them like this, and I once met a talking bear! In this city, too.

[thisischinatown]

[... That man...]

No, they do not talk, I simply thing you shouldn't be talking to them like that, you're angering my badger. She tends to bite.

[chatty_swan]

Ya should put a cage around the badger's muzzle if that is the case!

[thisischinatown]

I should rephrase. She tends to bite when strangers get in her face and start babbling incoherently.

[chatty_swan]

So she IS a cursed human?

[thisischinatown]

I said nothing of the sort... how did you even reach that conclusion?

[chatty_swan]

She seems ta be really intelligent, and doesn't bite ya to the point where ya can look up her gender.
