[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 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.

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...

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.]

[Neither does the MS.] They are desirable traits for those who do not posses them.

I have no care for either.

video; so good to me ;w;

[swordofthenorth]

Perhaps because in your own way you already possess them, so you have no reason to care for or desire them.

video; no u

[justasimple]

Maybe it is so.

Maybe it is not.

video; no ur face!

[swordofthenorth]

It wasn't really a question I'm afraid.

[justasimple]

Ah...

Just. Like. A. Wolf. Indeed. [A rare upturn of the lips, it unmistakable even with the paint.]

It is possible we are both.

There are two sides to everything, my dear Medicine Seller. And every person has two faces. It is those that hide their second nature that we should be most wary of.

[Speaking of which, I've yet to see your other side.]

Usually there are but t w o, but sometimes... there are m o r e. Humans are strange creatures.

I am just an uninteresting man.

Modesty is the foe of honesty.

Of course.
