[so cute... she crouches down and reaches out to pet him. the straw she picks it out is abandoned on the ground. it is just straw, the type one might find in a barn.]

And how are you doing today?

[rimet]

Woof, woof.

[ The device speaks in a robotic voice:

The puppy says that it is doing well and hopes for the peace to continue.

spoilers: it does not continue. ]

[prochronistic]

[



this puppy is going to be part of the tutorial murder, huh, haki]

You and me both. The more peaceful it stays while we're figuring out a way out of this mess, the better.

[rimet]

[ Maybe.

Pickles moves his head up and down at that. ]

Woof.

[ The puppy thinks that considering the current inhabitants, it may pose a challenge. ]

[prochronistic]

Some of us do seem a little... [what's the nicest way she can say this.] ...volatile, I suppose...

[rimet]

[ Pickles huffs, looking down at the ground before looking up at her again. There's a word "arcanist" that peeks through Pickles's fur in something that seems like ink. ]

[prochronistic]

...arcanist...?

[sorry pickles, she is sort of just murmuring the word as she notices it.]

[rimet]

Woof.

[ The puppy would like to ask what is wrong. ]

[prochronistic]

I don't believe I've ever met an arcanist before. I suppose I'm a little confused as to why the word has appeared on your fur...?

[rimet]

[ Pickles tries to find it on his fur, but it's on his back and that's not a place where he can reach or see. He grumbles a little in response. ]

Woof.

[ The puppy asks if you are shunning it. ]

[prochronistic]

[she shakes her head]

No, of course not! I just don't know what it means.

[rimet]

Woof! Woof, awoo...

[ The puppy says that an arcanist is born with eccentric abilities and gifts and that they are generally repelled to the margin of society. ]

[prochronistic]

...well, that hardly seems fair. One can't help the gifts they're born with.

[rimet]

[ Pickles tilts his head. He knows it's not for him to decide, but it's also what enables him to turn hedonism into a fetch ball. ]

Woof.

[ The puppy thanks you, for you are kind. ]

[prochronistic]

[she reaches over to pet him if he will allow it.]

You're very kind, too, Pickles.

[rimet]

Woof...

[ The puppy says that it is just a dog. ]

[prochronistic]

Don't sell yourself short! I've met plenty of dogs that were decidedly unfriendly. You're a cut above the rest.

[rimet]

Woo...

[ The puppy thinks it's the same with humans. ]
