[Growling blares through the speakers as the Forge is turned on. Mechanical clinks and clunks follow. The screen remains dark until the device is wrenched from the mouth of a dire wolf pup. The lens is smeared with slobber. The pup's tail is wagging profusely

[The Forge must have been set up somewhere - propped on a table, or something of the like, because Priscilla is rather far from it, currently sitting on her bed and... surrounded by animals.]

[Yup, surrounded. There are two fennec foxes sleeping on her left, two cats on her right, and... now a wolf pup on her lap, which she is currently petting.]

...I'll never get used to you calling him that.

[And yet, she's definitely smiling.]

I wonder how bit he'll get!

[swordofthenorth]

Judging from the size of the adult dire wolves out there in the Mist, the size of a small horse approximately.

[He smiles at the camera.]

The same for Angeal...your pup.

[yetsleeping]

You're definitely going to need a lot more space for that.

I, on the other hand, have plenty of space already!

[Smirkity smirk smirk smirk.]

...the name does suit him though, doesn't it?

video

[swordofthenorth]

I would not have suggested it if I didn't think it suited the creature, Priscilla.

[A small pause.]

I think he also suits you.

[The Forge clicks on to reveal a few trees and, of course, the Medicine Seller sporting a painted grin. Looks like he's out for a stroll as usual.]

I believe that creature might just suit you...

...almost too well.

[swordofthenorth]

Medicine Seller.

[The tone used is one of warm welcome. The warmth in question may or may not be feigned. It's always difficult to tell between these two.]

We may be a little alike I suppose. But if you think so simply because you bit me then you'd be mistaken.

The wolf pup is without his mother. He's hungry. It's only natural to chew and bite other things. Although I am surprised he'd find me appetizing. What a curious beast...

[perpetual lineface go]

Ho...

I simply meant... that wolves are usually quite mysterious. Feral yet highly intelligent.

video; WHAT THE HELL TYPO...YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN "HE" AUGH.

[swordofthenorth]

I'm not mysterious.

[Isley laughs at this.]

Feral and intelligent, well...those I won't deny.

[Good thing nobody was questioning his modesty, huh? He has none.]

[silvereyedlion]

Of course.

Is it really necessary to keep that creature?

[swordofthenorth]

It really is necessary, yes. I'm afraid you'll have to get used to having him around.

But don't worry Rigaldo. The place I have in mind will provide him with his own lodgings on the property. He shouldn't trouble you much.

Except for when I ask you to clean up after him and feed him.

[Is he teasing? It's hard to tell!]

[impossibly]

[ Oh. That look. It's familiar. ]

[ But more importantly: ]

Puppy...

Video

[swordofthenorth]

Would you like to meet him, River?

Video

[impossibly]

He bit you.

Video

[swordofthenorth]

I won't let him do the same to you if that is what concerns you.

video - sorry I'm so late replying ;;

[She giggles a little. The pup is mischievous and she likes him already.]

Little Sen-chan is really cute! But it has been a little while, Isie! Where are you moving to?
