[Moro's been oddly missing for... quite some time now, actually. Two weeks of being incredibly distant from the village, only rarely appearing in the distance to keep an eye out on the village. A week or so ago, she disappeared entirely, after what one would likely assume to be a mallynapping, given the evidence of violence in some areas

[Sannan is out for a walk around the edge of the village just to clear his head when he spots the enormous wolf - well, he's never seen her true form, but anything larger than its normal size is automatically enormous.

He recalls what Okita said about talking bears.]

O-oh, hello. [He stops and bows politely.]

[puppy_moro]

[She considers, for a bit. The polite greeting is enough to calm her wariness.]

...Where is this place? This is not my forest.

[saintlyvice]

[It's really talking. It's really talking. For a moment, he actually considers the possibility of leading it over to House 50 and inviting it in for dinner.]

[slowly] This is Luceti, somewhere probably far away from your forest.

[puppy_moro]

Why have I been given a bird's wings?

[saintlyvice]

...To be honest, I don't know. But everyone here has them.

[puppy_moro]

...Are you not of this village?

[saintlyvice]

No--well, not originally. I'm from Japan, but then I was taken here with many others.

[puppy_moro]

Japan?

[saintlyvice]

Yes. The country. Have you heard of it before?

[puppy_moro]

Humans know the land by a name rather than by its scent.

[...So she says. She won't admit that she doesn't know something 8T]

[saintlyvice]

[...he doesn't really know what to say to that.]

Ha...sadly, we lack the abilities to do so.

[puppy_moro]

Such a shame.

[Cocky, smartass laugh? Check.]

[saintlyvice]

[HNNNGH] We compensate in other ways. [Pay no mind to that sword at his hip that he can't use anymore]

[puppy_moro]

[She sees it, but it doesn't scare her. She's seen more swords than she can count; she's much too swift to be more than nicked by a simple toy like that.]

Yes, with your wit. Always impressive. As wily as any fox, and able to make your own "fangs".

[It's a compliment, I swear it is.]

[saintlyvice]

[Why...is it...

He really hopes Okita's bear was more tolerable.]

[guardedly] We do it to survive - no different from any other creature.

[puppy_moro]

No. Heheh. You are certainly no gods, but humans are special creatures. There are no creatures remotely like you.
