oo4 :: Wolf and Face Value

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{She's sitting on an unfinished and tarnished wooden desk with a velvet pouch in her lap. She takes the pouch and dumps all the contents onto the desk, and an assortment of coins spill onto the desk. They're almost all different, with different faces and sizes since the coins hail from many different kingdoms. But she smiles to see them.}

The currency may have shifted, but the currency does remain the same itself! So many different coins, and from so many kingdoms! Fufu, Lawrence should be glad that I have little to do. Sorting these coins by the true value, what a task that would be! Especially for a human, even with the scales.

{She takes two at a time, striking them against each other as she holds them up to her ear}

Silver, gold, they sound so different. But it's so complex anyways! The money makers will not change it largely right away since it might make the coins worth more than the face. So there are just minuscule changes from there so that the reaction can be gauged.

{Horo sets one aside, striking the coin she still holds with another from the pile}

Still, they confuse themselves, it seems like. The true value of these coins is forgotten. Lucky Lawrence has my clever ears to gauge the value, but even then...Ofufufu...He owes me many apples for this!

Yes! In a few kingdoms, so it seems. But the difference is so slight that it is hard to tell the true value with scales or human ear, so I lend mine.

Ah, I see! I never truly understand this "currency" thing, but I know well how necessary it is. I would not be able to get my Holy Bones without it, after all~

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Holy Bones? And what is that?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's what I eat! It's my favorite snack~

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ha, even a true goddess must eat! How funny that is! What does it taste like?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Well, it is not so much a necessity as it is a restorative, I suppose. And it tastes like...hm! Like air and light and flowers, I think.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ha, what a funny thing to taste, then! I can only imagine such a taste, but I imagine that it tastes like sweetest honey.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah...that might be it, yes!

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Then it must be delicious! Why, Lawrence told me of this wonderful thing the other day about fruits that are soaked in honey for many days. Apples soaked in honey, I think it was. I should hope to find some, because that sounds absolutely wonderful.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh my, that does sound delicious! Humans do some fascinating and wonderful things with food, don't they?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Certainly! I shall never grow tired of human foods, even if I may not be able to stomach some of them.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, that is the thing, isn't it? Some of their food certainly upsets the stomach.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. And I have no way of knowing what!

{Laughs} But if I can enjoy it for a bit, then the food is certainly worth the ache.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Very true! I don't truly need to eat, so I quite enjoy it when I do have the opportunity.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Fufu, why would you not want to? I surely need to, but I would hate to not have to.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is just the way I am, I think. There are not many gods or goddesses that require food. Plenty of them delight in partaking of it often, however.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

As would I! Food is such a wonderful thing~

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.] Drink as well! I know many gods and spirits who love the drink. I can't say that I enjoy it much myself, but it can be amusing to watch others partaking of it. Ah, so long as they are not causing too much mischief, that is.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Drink is my favorite, I must admit. I have quite the weakness for grape wine.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes! I have tasted that once or twice since coming here~
