oo5 :: Wolf and Sheep's Clothing

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Horo appears, sitting on Lawrence's wagon. There's a canvas tarp thrown over the goods, which, to anyone with a sensitive nose, is full of exotic spices, even pepper. She's sitting beside them, a piece of jerky in her mouth as she brushes the fur on her tail with a shell comb. She looks less than pleased.}

Feh, another human girl comes around, and it's like I am not even there anymore! Humans cannot have a lively conversation with a dog, right?

{She chews the jerky with what sounds like a growl}

And a shepherd, no less! I should like to eat her sheep instead, but Lawrence would be less than pleased. And the dog is too smart, so I cannot reveal myself for even a moment. I do not like this Nora girl. I hope we should reach town soon and leave the shepherd girl behind!

[Dude, first a kitten girl and now a girl who's half wolf? Brb staring.

He also smells like monsters. And possibly elemental magic of a musty and dark quality.]

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Her ears perk up and she looks at him}

Fufu, what an odd smell upon you, youngster! What have you been bathing in for such a scent?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He flinches.] W-... what? Sorry, I didn't mean to stare...!

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

No, the staring bothers me not! I am quite used to that by now. My ears and tail draw quite a bit of attention, after all~

[pactum.livejournal.com]

They're... um... nice.

Are you part monster...? [The way he says it isn't like most people say 'monster'. He may as well have asked 'wolf' instead.]

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ha! A rude little one we have here! I am naught but a clever wolf!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[FDHJKLHSDJKFK] I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be rude, I just—

[Oh god, fail!pose is go.]

I'm sorry, ma'am.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{She starts brushing her tail again, laughing}

Ah, your apology is accepted, I suppose!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[That's a relief. He straightens eventually.]

So you're a wolf...? You don't look like any wolf I've ever seen.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I am a very clever, old wolf, not just a run of the mill lap dog!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

I... wasn't accusing you of being a lap dog, honest. You just don't look like any wolves I know... [He itches at his cheek.] Wolves are dark and really intimidating, but you look pretty and really nice.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

How very charming of you. Though! I should see why a boy like you should think wolves scary creatures. There is no need to worry, however, since noble wolves will not harm a human.

...Fufufu, they don't taste good, after all~

[pactum.livejournal.com]

U-um... [AWKWARD GRIN] Well, I know a wolf at home... He's kind of small in comparison to some of the other monsters, but he's the bravest.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

See? Wolves are wise, noble creatures, not monsters!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Ah -- it's just what they're called on my world. I don't mean to be insulting or anything... Monsters only go bad on my world when they aren't taken care of by a Centurion.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Oh...? And what would that be?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

A Centurion is... sort of like a lesser Summon Spirit. They help keep order since monsters are usually made of a certain element.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah, then you speak of magics! There are many that seem to use it here.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Ah... yeah. Can you use magic?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

No, no, of course not.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Ah... [He falls silent, looking thoughtful.] Sorry for bothering you. I should leave you alone, you looked kind of mad. Um.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

You need not worry. I do enjoy the company!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well then... I'm Emil.

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

[Chris is here! And confused as always.]

Some other bird moving in on him?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Her ears set back}

Feh! And it is naught but a lonely shepherd girl!

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

[Now, how does one comfort a chick about another chick.]

Maybe she got him pissed. Too much alcohol.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

I should doubt that a poor shepherd has even even whiffed alcohol!

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

Uh, I dunno, then. I mean, you're pretty and you're nice, so maybe he hit his head or something.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Laughs, wagging her tail slightly}

A flatterer, we have here! Your kind words will not woo me, youngster!

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

I-I'm not! Anyway, uh, maybe you'll leave soon? You said you guys travel a lot.
