[accidental video] During the Scavenger hunt

[aeterno_arma]

[Laurent is trying not to drop the plot plant he's holding, a small tree with tiny golden apples, and it's proving to be quite difficult. The reason? His dog Hunter is chasing a small black pig around him. Sometimes they stop for a second and it's the piggy who chases the dog, but they are still running between his legs most of the time.]

R-really....you two stop. Where did you come from? [The pig looks up at Laurent and squeals, sniffing the air and now trying to eat the plant.]
No...eh! Wait..that's not for you...

Sure, no problem. I don't mind at all. [Apollo's happy to help, and holding a plant is no difficulty, so he steps up to take it from Laurent without delay.] They look like a real handful.

[aeterno_arma]

Thank you, sir.

[Laurent give shim a polite smile. The pig quickly turns his attention to Apollo. Laurent uses the distraction to take off the strip of cloth around his neck and makes an improvised leash. He worked with animals in the circus, at least he knows how to take care of them.]

[attorneyatloud]

You're welcome.

[Apollo looks down at the pig with a smile. He speaks to it briefly.] Hi there, little guy. Or--girl. [He can't really tell if it's a male or female pig.]

[Then he looks up at Laurent again.] Are these pets you brought with you from home?

[aeterno_arma]

Only the dog is from my world, this one followed me when I walked by the Frey's district [Laurent tilts his head.] It's a girl.

[And now that Hunter is quietly looking at the others and the pig is distracted, Laurent manages to attach the leash around pig's neck. It squeals quite loudly again and tries to go away.]

There, there.. it's okay, I promise I will let you go. Can you throw an apple at her? I think she's hungry. But don't try to give her the fruit by hand if you like all your fingers.

[attorneyatloud]

A loose pig running around? That's different.

[He hasn't heard of any random pig encounters before now.]

I can do that. [He moves to do so, noticing how bright and golden the apples are before he throws one of them down.]

Thanks for the advice. I'd rather keep all my fingers while I'm here. I haven't heard of anybody having a finger-growing power.

[aeterno_arma]

[He should really check the Frey's district, some people is ridding the bigger pigs.]
Welcome, fingers are always useful to have. [Laurent chuckles at his reply. The pig chows down the small apple in a moment, it taste good, but it's small as a grape and she's hungry. So she squeaks for more.]

Thanks a lot for the help, really. I'm Laurent.
