New home! (sort of...)

[forest_archer]

Hmm! Finished! *off to the side of the Castle landscape, Kinnison has set up a campsite; not exactly elaborate, but useful with the large, oiled leather tent, almost in the shape of a teepee, with his spare clothes, arrows, and bows neatly inside, digging a shallow fire pit while Shiro helps with his paws

Oh! *crosses the area on patrol* Sir Kinnison, do you live here instead of a room?

[forest_archer]

Hello, Miss Cecile! How are you? *smiles brightly* Yes, I do! Got my tent all set up. *Shiro sniffs with interest at Cecile, picking up the scent of all the dogs*

[cmdr_cecile]

*beams and pats Shiro on the head* I'm on patrol!!! But... are you sure it's warm enough to stay here in the evenings too??

[forest_archer]

Oh, it should be, Miss Cecile. I've lived outside with the snow on the ground before. I should be all right; but I promise if I get cold, I'll come inside right away.

finishing up some training, she walks by the tent*

Hmmm...? I haven't seen this here before! *nosily peaks inside*

[forest_archer]

Hmmm? *peers over and around at Mitsuba, behind the girl* Yes, miss? Can I help you? *looks friendly*

[tomboy_mitsuba]

Eek! *pops out of the tent and twirls around*

D-don't mind me! I wasn't stealing anything anything!
I was just checking out this little fort for baddies~

[forest_archer]

It's okay! *even as Shiro pokes his cold, wet nose, snuffling at Mitsuba* Don't mind him, he's happy to meet so many new people. No baddies there, it's my home.

I see you finished getting it set up.

[forest_archer]

I did! Isn't it great? The sun rises from right over there, so I can wake up seeing it every day, and Shiro helped m dig the small fire pit. But the boxed lunches you gave me tasted really good. Thank you!

[iii_ninja]

*nods* You're welcome. If you wish more, just order some. I will have to make you pay this time, though.

[forest_archer]

Okay! I'll get some for Miss Kathy and Jowy too; we all work together, and I bet they'd love it, too.

[toma_to]

What's this doing out here...? Did someone get kicked out of the castle?

[forest_archer]

Nope! But I feel better living outside like this; I have more of my life.

*Shiro pads over, and sniffs at Toma's han, his wolf tail giving a small wag* This is Shiro, Toma, my wolf. Hey, he likes you.

[toma_to]

Oh I get it! How long did it take to build? Maybe I could build one to sleep in every time the inn got crowded!

W-Woah...Hey, boy.*gently pats Shiro on the nose* I've never petted a wolf before!
Unless you count Ulse. But I never really "petted" those, either.

[forest_archer]

About a day's work. But this is for long term, if you just want something to camp out in every now and then, it'll take about two hours.

*Shiro whuffs and turns on his back for Toma, lightly pawing at him* He decides which people he likes, but he's not too hard to please. Yeah, he definitely likes you.

Outdoor camping! I've had a fair share of those during my time away from home... I must say, kid, I'm impressed with how neat it all looks!

[forest_archer]

Wow! Thanks a lot, Mister Billy. The castle is nice and all, but I just don't think I can live inside at all times. The stone walls just seem so... eh. It's not my thing.
