[ It's been a while since Ella made a post to the network, but she felt the need to introduce a new member of the family - so to speak. The feed shows the interior of a den where Ella is sitting on the floor

[Look at him not being smug. Look at him not being smug at all.

He's grading papers again.]

You have the address for my office?

[Meaning, its open and all yours if you want it.]

[ Be as smug as you want - she wouldn't have accepted if she hadn't quit Merlotte's/Club Zero :D ]

I do. Should I take that as 'the position is still open'?

It was recently vacated. My former assistant knew nothing of loyalty.

[But you do, because you're Ella. And he likes you. And he only likes people who are loyal. Just look at how you are with Hattie!]

[ So clearly what Hitsugaya had told her was true. Still, the way he phrased that... ]

You mean she just up and left the job?

Hey, Ella! Long time no see.

She's cute. That's--what breed is that?

[voice]

[of_frell]

Rochelle, how've you been doing? [ She grins. ]

She's a wolf-dog. If I remember correctly, the mother is a husky and the father is a timber wolf.

Hey, sweetie. I've been... busy, mostly. You?

And she's friendly?

[ Oops - Ella is Video :D ]

[of_frell]

Er...about the same ... [ Eheh. But she looks amused at the latter. ]

Of course she is - why wouldn't she be?

[menolly_harper]

Hi. Um, does she have a name?

[of_frell]

She's got a few names that I haven't quite settled on yet. I'm still feeling out her personality and I wouldn't want to name her something silly like "Fluffy" or "Buttons" or "Cuddles" or something.

[menolly_harper]

That makes sense. I never did find something that quite fit Brownie.

[of_frell]

But Brownie works - I mean, sh-- he is brown after all. And it has a certain charm - I don't know.

[Mercy looks into the camera.]

Um. Not to put too fine a point on it, but you know she's not a full dog, right?

[Video]

[of_frell]

Of course I do. She's a wolf-dog puppy. What's your point?

[Video]

[vw_coyote]

[Mercy shakes her head.]

None. I just wanted to be sure. Wolf-dogs have different temperaments from regular dogs. They tend to be more dominant and far more stubborn. I didn't want you finding that out the hard way.

[Like, when you got bit. Mercy knows wolves.]

[of_frell]

I'm well aware. I thought you were going to give me some spiel about how I shouldn't have a wolf-dog as a pet because they're evil or something ridiculous.

You kind of sound like another friend of mine. He fussed at me for having a pet raccoon. Though really, he's more of a friend than a pet.

There sure are a lot of dogs in this city.

[of_frell]

That's what happens when people don't take proper care of their animals. Or they adopt an animal and decide they can't be bothered or don't want it anymore for some reason, so they send them back.

Though she's not a dog, she's a wolfdog.

... What's the difference?

[of_frell]

They're part wolf. It's not easily noticeable when they're puppies, but when she gets older you'd probably see it more. Her legs are longer, and her face is more angular like a wolf's.

Mostly the difference between the two is how much wolf is in the offspring, and the personality.
