5th Howl | Video (before the funeral event)

[okamichild]

[ Ame is sitting in his bed; he is currently residing over Heimdall Welcome Hall, since Euri left and he preferred to leave because he misses her. ]

Before I came here, I lived in a forest since I was a full wolf then. But I'm not a full wolf, here. And I'm small and I can't hunt and I don't have fur, so it's cold, and ... [ he pauses. It's lonely, too.

As a wolf living in a forest, he can be with animals and it's fine, but in a city it's completely different. He also misses his mother and sister - Ame always thought as a wolf, he really wouldn't miss living a "human life", but in Asgard he is back to live a "human life" again, and it makes him miss what he left behind even more ]

I have to live in a house, and I don't know how to do that. The nug won't even come here. [ yup, Ame kept a nug as a "pet". ANYWAY. He is rambling a bit. What he means to ask is- ]

What do you do when you miss home?

[He was further along than most people then. Even trolls had trouble with it.]

The best of them, I expect would be accurate.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

it must be really nice, to have your best friend here.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

I... do not know what sort of troll I would have been without her around.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

She probably feels the same, too.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

I am certain that she does. She often says so, and deception is not her strong suit. She only tries for her pranks.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

[ Ame smiles softly ] That's good.

And that she is here, too. [ though Ame is lonely, he is glad others aren't and have someone with them ]

Video

[alternia_strength]

It is. It has been exceptionally good to have her here. [He nodded in satisfaction. Admittedly, he was about as empathic as a rock, so he wouldn't catch on her loneliness.] I expect she would like you if you spoke to her.

Video

[okamichild]

Why do you say that? [ he tilts his head ] is she very friendly?

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Friendly to a fault. She would like someone like you, though she'd probably want to touch your ears a great deal. In fact, I'm certain she would.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

My ears? [ they move when mentioned ]

Why?

Video

[alternia_strength]

She has a fascination for purr-beasts. Yours... I think remind me more of bark-beasts, or howling bark-beasts, but she'll still consider them cute and wish to pet them.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

[ purr-beasts, bark-beasts, howling bark-beasts? ]

You mean cats... dogs and wolves?

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Those are human terms for these creatures, yes. [He nodded simply.] I sometimes switch between troll terms and human.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

I see.

Well -

she can touch my ears. Maybe. [ not too hard ]

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Heh, first she will have to find you. But you've been warned of the possibility at least.

Re: Video

[okamichild]

[ ame nods with a smile ] Hm. It's okay.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Ah, well, in any case, it has been... what was it Nepeta was teaching me to say? Yes. It has been a pleasure to meet you... what was your name again?

Re: Video

[okamichild]

I'm Ame.

And yours?

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

I am Equius Zahhak. I appreciate the conversation, Ame. What, if I may ask, is your species?

Re: Video

[okamichild]

I'm a werewolf.

[ pause ]

Ah... uhm... were howling bark-beasts? [ HEAD TILT ]

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

You are a bipedal bark-beast then?

Re: Video

[okamichild]

I can turn from human to wolf and in between, as I please.

Video

[alternia_strength]

Hmmm, fascinating. This sort of shifted-form bark-beast is something only referenced within fictitious periodicals in the worlds I am familiar with, rather fanciful ones. I was unaware such existed.

Video

[okamichild]

Nobody in my world knew we existed, either. Me and my sister are the last ones.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Ah. Then it is something much rarer in that case. You and your fellow podling have a heritage to preserve, yes?
