[It's been a few days now, and Tybalt looks awful, by Juliet's reckoning. But she isn't sure if he's willing to speak with her yet, or quite what she should say. For all the advice she's been given, it's difficult to know what will work best. So she decides to write rather than speak.]

It is a most beautiful carving, Tybalt. You have always done such fine work.

Did you receive the fish?

[He stares at the text for a long, long time trying to figure out how to reply. Or even if he wants to. Finally, he replies text for text]

Yes I did. You did not have to.

[That he even replies cheers her a little.]

I do not wish you to go hungry, Tybalt. I worry for you.

[capuletguarddog]

I am fine

[Except, y'know, he's not. At all.]

Tybalt...? Have you seen Octi anywhere? He's missing and I thought maybe he came to visit you without telling me.

[video]

[capuletguarddog]

No I haven't. I saw he was missing, and I've looked all over my house, but he is not here.

[video]

[hardcorecute]

Oh! Thank you for looking, Tybalt! If you see him, please let him know I'm looking for him.

[There's a pause.]

Tybalt... Are you okay being all by yourself?

[video]

[capuletguarddog]

Don't worry, I will. [He even manages a small smile, just for her]

I am all right. You just focus on finding Octi.

[Usagi's face lights up as soon as she sees this feed.]

It's so beautiful! Would you really make another one for me? I could give you- whatever you'd want, if I have it!

[Video]

[capuletguarddog]

Another bird? Yes, I could do that.

I'm mostly in need of food or cleaning or mending. Those... sorts of things [Everything Juliet use to handle.]

[Video]

[buntails]

I can help with those!

[She can, but trusting her to do a thorough job probably isn't wise. Or trusting her not to get distracted.]

[Video]

[capuletguarddog]

Cleaning is probably my greatest need right now. [She can't be any worse than he is]

Did you want one exactly like that, or a different pose or something?

Ask away.

It is in regard to the situation involving my co... involving Juliet. It feels like there are many here who think I should be happy for her marriage, that it would end the feud. I do not know how to explain that it's not that simple.

[video|private]

[population_ctrl]

Make an attempt. Why isn't it?

[video|private]

[capuletguarddog]

People assume the feud is just a simple argument, but it's not. I literally grew up knowing that everything that went wrong for me or my family was due to the damned Montagues. I've been fighting with them for as long as I can remember, as has Lord Capulet, and his father before him. And here, people expect me to be able to put all that aside just because my co... because Juliet went and married one of the damned bastards who she's known for not even a day, behind everyone's back.

It is well-made, Monsieur Tybalt; standing on my writing desk in the bedroom, it will be very atmospheric.

[video]

[capuletguarddog]

I am glad you like it. Working on it has provided a pleasant distraction.

You did seem fairly content, carving the wood while I was reading. Everything taken into consideration.

I feel better when I am doing something with my hands.
