Curious.

It begs the question of what talking animals here receive; do they discover humans to suit their souls? Please, take no offense, Professor Cat, I mean none.

Fortunately I witnessed the noise across the Network before I encountered him. Similar stories prepared me for my introduction to.. "Dusa ( Read more... )

Ah, I bet that falcon would have liked to have been able to talk.

Indeed.

And do you have a companion of your own, today?

I do! It doesn't talk much either.

Interesting... What do you believe that says about your soul?

That story sounds familiar, sir. At what time did Tolstoy write?

The 1800s, but they were... fables, mostly. Told and retold, throughout time.

Surely you are not suggesting
But it is possible

...When are you from?

Thank you, sir. I must have heard it in another form.

The year at home is 1725.

Pardon me, I neglected to introduce myself. I'm Anita Ainsworth. It's a pleasure to meet you, mister...?

There was a man called Aesop who wrote similar, long before my time and yours. Perhaps he is responsible.

Centuries ago... Interesting. is there rhyme or reason to this City's souls? So much variation...

Ms. Ainsworth. You may simply call me Kolya.

...That's good, because Ron would probably kill me. Death by wizard is a really poetic way to go, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

It's actually very cute, though.

Ah, it is his furniture, then... Have no fear, I would sooner have you remain alive than suffer any demise, poetic or not.

Thank you. You are not suffering any... unusual animals today?

Suffering? Am I burning daylight needlessly, behaving? Should I speak up?

..No, I believe it would be healthier for you to be quiet.

That's very kind, I appreciate that.

No, I'm not, which almost makes me feel like I'm missing out...but I'm enjoying seeing what everyone else has.

Don't worry, Dusa, you can talk to me if Kolya doesn't want to talk to you! I'm sure he meant to pick another word besides "suffering."

Of course.

A shame.

I'm sure it would be beautiful.. and elegant. Thank you, Sarah.

Another word, indeed..

None at all. My black swan companion is prone to theatrics but harmless.

What do they eat... bread?

I am glad of that. This could have been very dangerous.

That is a sweet image. Almost worthy of a storybook.

Then do not allow it to trouble you, Professor.

Mrr? Why would it? Youth these days. They overthink instead of just feel.

Hm.. you have never dwelt on the idea of what it is to be human - and what it is not to be? ..I suppose if you are surrounded by like beings at home, you would not think anything out of the ordinary.

[ooc; you torment me with adorability. Why!]
