Pendragon XVIII - [Action/Voice]

[tintobrat]

I've seen the teleporting devices in the Recreation Center and Barracks, but I have no idea how to use them. I'd like the chance to see more of this place, but I'm not too keen on crossing the mountains. Any assistance would be splendid.

Caesar, you need not comment. I already know what you will want to say.

Good. You save me the trouble by thinking ahead for once. I'm almost impressed.

Anyway, you remember the dogs from the castle, don't you?

[filtered]

[tintobrat]

[... what, dogs. Is this some kind of joke?]

I recall them, yes. They spent a great deal of time with our 'gatekeeper'.

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

One of them was left in my care when Hugo was sent home. I can't imagine you would care very much, however, I feel obligated to mention the gatekeeper's presence here.

[He remembered chatting with her about the castle a long time ago, so it was possible she might care a little.]

[tintobrat]

Oh. [She thought they were kind of cute. There was one particular one she rather liked too, though it's not like she made a point of taking him for walks or anything. She had more important things to do and there was a castle and town full of people to care for the local mutts.]

I see. Which one is it?

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

The black one. [The creepy one.] Kogoro.

[tintobrat]

... wasn't that the one with the... skulls?

[No wonder Caesar is telling her this. HE'S TRYING TO PAWN HIM OFF ON HER.]

[mydearapple]

[Don't be ridiculous, Lilly. He doesn't want the dog to die.]

That's right. Those jerks were even kind enough to let him keep them when he arrived, too. How very generous of them, don't you agree?

[filtered]

[tintobrat]

[As if puppy!Pesmerga can be killed so easily.]

Ugh. And you're keeping him in your home?

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

Something like that. The point is, if you'd ever like to see him for some reason, you know he's here. I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing another familiar face around.

[Even if it's yours.]

[filtered]

[tintobrat]

I see. I'll keep it in mind, though I think I'd prefer to keep my distance from the Silverberg residence, all the same.

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

I can't say that I blame you! We have traps set for people like you, after all. It would be too dangerous to approach without warning.

[filtered]

[tintobrat]

... hilarious, as always.

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

I do try. Since I see that you speak so highly of me, it is the least I can do!

[filtered]

[tintobrat]

I speak as highly of you as I can. It's hardly my fault you don't set the bar very high.

[Marica deserves to know how useless Caesar is.]

[filtered]

[mydearapple]

No one is worthy of the great Lilly Pendragon's praise, after all.

If you're hoping to get a reaction out of me, you'll have to try harder than that.
