Third Shield | Surprise Pets

Recipient: Everyone
Date: Soon after the Campaign finished (Backdated)
So ah...
Has anyone ever gotten a pet after coming back from a campaign?
Because apparently I have a dog now.

Eustace | Gray Wolf
What breed?
quel surprise
[ You can't see it but Dojima has the smallest of smiles on his face. How did he know you'd show up?]
Seems he might be 'Arthur's' hunting dog; he's got a dog collar with 'Cavall' on the name tag.
no subject
I see.
[HIS ANSWERS MAY LOOK LIKE HIS USUAL SHORT, CURT REPLIES but in truth there's some wistfulness on his end. ...Not that he should really be all that wistful given that dogs and wolves tend to gather around him, anyway. But to have one as his own partner...to have that special bond between an owner and dog...
...Sigh.]
Do you need help or advice in taking care of it?
no subject
[ Dojima was about to write 'no, I should be alright' but paused, leaving just a scratch on the page for a moment as he thought about it. Eustace asking this... made him think back to that time during the Autumn festival, and Eustace in his wolf form carrying back that puppy to his house...
Yeah, he had a better answer. ]
It's been a while since I've had a pet, so advice would be great.
Also, I was actually a bit worried about being able to take him on walks on days I'm stuck at the guard house working...
no subject
I'll do it.
no subject
[ Thank god Eustace isn't here, cause Dojima's not holding back the small chuckles. You're hard to read usually, but bring up dogs and Eustace was like an open book... ]
He's well behaved, at least. He's sitting on the couch with me with his head on my lap.
no subject
he didmaybe he should try calling in the local wolf pack—]How old is he?
no subject
[ A beat, before Dojima continues writing. ]
Would you be up for meeting him now?
no subject
He actually has more questions, but upon reading the one from Dojima, his hand automatically (and very swiftly and somewhat heavily) writes:]
Yes.
[...Hm, maybe that was a little too eager—]
Where should we meet?
no subject
[ He's trying so very hard not to laugh. And failing. ]
no subject

no subject
[Dojima, do not be surprised if Eustace arrives with giant bags of goods just for Cavall.
Because he will.]
What's his temperament so far?
Eizen | Davy Jones
no subject
Is it a particular ghost, or just a generic one?
no subject
no subject
Well, it's good he's helpful... he doesn't keep you up too much does he?
[ What the hell is this entire conversation. Why. What has brought his life to this point where he's just accepted this other man is being haunted by a ghost? ]
no subject
no subject
Come to think of it, I never really experimented to see how long they'd stay around...

Like a sixth sense. For swords.

Public --> Private
Right... what does that mean exactly in your world?
no subject
no subject
[ But seriously... negative emotions turning people into demons? It sounded ridiculous... and just liable to make any tragedy breed more. ]
Huh. Didn't know he was such a special case.
no subject
Roxas || Little Mermaid
I never got a pet outside of one of those dragon eggs, but I got the ability to talk to sea creatures.
no subject
Oh, you picked one of those up? Did it hatch yet?
no subject
It did! She's a little water dragon.
no subject
Yeah, he's a good boy so far. Seems pretty smart. You'll have to meet him next time you're over.
Water dragon, huh? Appropriate for you. Got a name for her yet?
[ ...Actually did he want to know how you tell the gender of a dragon? ]
no subject
Huh... I guess that makes sense, then.
I'd love to meet him!
Yeah, it was pretty lucky. I decided to name her Snapper. Because she likes to bite things.
no subject
Sure thing. Eustace is coming over first but, if you want to visit soon just give me a heads up. I'll try to have something to snack on handy.
Ah. Sounds... appropriate.
[ Poor Roxas. ]
no subject
Sure! I'll check back later, after Eustace goes over.
Yeah. She's really cute, but has a really strong jaw. She could probably snap sticks if she wants.
Sylvain | Lancelot
no subject
Thanks.
I'm a little concerned he'll get bored with me; I haven't gone hunting before.
[ It wasn't exactly necessary in modern times, after all. ]
You have much experience with that?
no subject
I know how to exercise a dog, though. If he's a hunting dog he's chill with horses, right? You can just bring him with you when you go riding.
no subject
[ Llamrei being Dojima's horse. Or Arthur's, to be more precise. ]
You holding up alright, Sylvain?
no subject
[How cute and also extremely uncomfortable of you to fuss Dojima! Please stop.]
Oh yeah, fantastic. No politics to play, no big wars to fight, it's practically boring! I've been training in the armor and lance they've left for me so I'm prepared, though.
Sender: The Fox (The Fox and the Cat) | Felix
does a giant egg count?
no subject
Not unless the egg barks. Did you order a dragon egg from the journal?
no subject
