I love animals. [She rubs a dog's face and giggles as it licks her in appreciation.] I've really missed having them around.
I mean, I like visiting other people's pets of course, and I guess it's a little funny whenever people turn into different things. But that's not the same as being surrounded by nature. Or making friends on your own merits.
[ hehe. he will finally come and like. actually sit down. he is immediately invaded by a very fluffy pomeranian which is appropriate, and as he's petting it, he will describe: ]
Her name is Ochette. She uses a bow and arrow, much like yourself, and is a Beastling - so she has a few animal features. But more than that, her verve and love of nature, I think, would suit quite well. She has an animal companion named Mahina that travels with us nigh constantly, and I've never seen her fail to befriend a single animal. Gigantic, legendary beasts of the earth included.
[She forgets the shepherd and flock euphemisms for holy men forgive her. She's in aminal mode rn.]
What a pretty name. [Rosamund scratches the little dogs ears thoughtfully.] I should like to meet her someday.
When you say Beastling, you mean to say she was born with the animal parts? [Then thinking better of it:] That is, where I'm from it's usually some sort of transformation. A curse, or consuming a magical creature, or being enchanted...stuff like that. My dear friend Ylfa is a bit of a wolf now, and Gerard is cursed to be a giant frog?
[ she's allowed he thinks its charming it's okay. ALSO THIS ICON IS SOOO CUTE I KISS THEM BOTH ON THE HEAD.
temenos nods, though. ]
She was born with them, yes - though you're not far off the mark, believe it or not. Beastlings themselves evolved from a magical event over a myriad ago. It was an accidental effect - caused by a dark mage who was utilizing the forces of both life and death to do something else entirely. The event itself occurred in Toto'haha, which is the most common place to find them now.
[ he looks curious, though, about her friends... ]
...A frog. [ haha. ] I suppose the magical curses people go through here must not be all that unfamiliar to you, then...? Are those the travelers you spend time with?
Oh! So now there's a whole nation for them. That's quite nice, actually! It's great to meet people who are different from yourself, but also important to have people you can relate to.
[Outcasts don't have easy lives, to state the obvious.] If there's ever a chance to show me more, I'd very much like to see some of your home Temenos.
[Oh but it's her turn now.]
Yes, actually! So, Gerard is a prince, but he was cursed by a fairy when he was a little boy to become a frog, because he was "misbehaving" or something. [She rolls her eyes and speaks with a petulant ire.] As if that's a reasonable cause to ruin a little boy's life. Anyway, he had to be a frog for several years, and the only way to break the curse was with True Love's first kiss.
Which he got! And then, later, his marriage started falling apart so he...is becoming more and more froglike. Just man-sized this time.
That's a sort of running theme among us, actually. Undue punishment and curses.

Don't you agree?

[ there's a little laugh as temenos pets his own dog, watching her and looking amused. ]
...Every day, more and more, I think of how much you would enjoy a dear friend of ours, your highness.

[She lifts the dog (it's a Daschund) off her chest to better sit upright. Never once does she stop lavishing them with affection.]
Is that so? Who is it?
