I -

I think Freki might be having cubs.

[Awkward pause.]

Can someone who knows this stuff come look at her?

Twenty-five, huh... has it been a year already? Well, guess I got a month break.

Hey, Freki, you gettin' fat?

Freki, sit.

[A soft, resigned sounding whine.]

Don't give me those eyes.

[Another whine]

It's indoor work with no heavy lifting.

[The sound of claws ticking against tiles, and then a heavy 'whump', followed by an "Oof!" from Cloud.]

... Fine, whatever.

[The proximity of Freki's thudding tail has made it clear that she's just plonked herself ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on to the sound of Cloud endlessly pacing. His steps are shockingly rapid, and when he speaks it may be hard to discern individual words.]

Right. Well, when would be a good time for you, Aaron?

Ana, Elendira... uh, Ada? You guys wanna bring Shyama, Wolfwood and Handsome over for this? Sephiroth's bringing Sephiroth, I think.

[Cloud's voice is higher than usual, younger.]

... This wolf is so cool. You know that? She's huge, really. Huge. I can't imagine how intimidating she'll be when she's fully gro -

[A bark, a cough, and Cloud laughing, though trying to stop himself from doing so.]

Okay, okay, playful too. Stop that. Grow up!

Thanks for the milk, guys.

I think I'm going to call her Freki. At the rate she's going through this milk, seems apt. She opened her eyes now. They're yellow. Hm. Green seems popular, I guess I was expecting that.

Wanna come feed her sometime, Prince, Zelda, Zack?
