XLVIII

[wilder]

[Hi Paradisa, have the sound of a pen tapping against the journal]

[Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-]

[Finally the sound stops and there's a melodramatic defeatist groan]

Ugh! Fine I give up!

Hey Paradisa! How are you all?

Tell me, what's a good way to kill a lot of time without going crazy? And please, nothing about reading, training or playing in the snow.

Thank you! ♥

[ The senses grow sharper. It's what she misses most. Going back always feels like trading good steel for a cheap blade. ]

So? She'd be good all the same.

[wilder]

[He meanwhile remains oblivious to any weird mojo going on here. ]

Yeah yeah, I guess so.

[wolfchild]

[ yes good stay oblivious. No need to be traumatized by mind hijacking strays on top of snow trauma.

Arya looks up at Zelos. ]

Does she like to chew on bones? Henry got Nymeria a bag of rawhide bones except they don't last an hour with her. I've still got a few. Curry can have them.

[wilder]

She does, but you'll have to be careful of the other dogs. They'll try to fight each other for them.

[wolfchild]

I'll toss them in your room.

[wilder]

Fine fine.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention before- but if anyone ever asks you what's in my room, you can make up stuff but don't tell them what's really in there, alright?

[wolfchild]

[ She frowns. ]

I don't tell anyone anything about you.

[wilder]

Anything?

...Well that's the blow to the old ego.

[wolfchild]

I told my mother you're a knight. If anyone asks, I say you're my best friend. The only time I ever said anything about you was to tell someone saying bad things about you they were wrong and if they kept saying such lies I'd break their face. If people want to know something of you, they can ask you. I never talk about anyone behind their back.

[wilder]

Whoa- calm down, my little wolf. I wasn't testing your loyalty or anything. When I say I trust you, I trust you.

-- You seriously told someone you'd break their face over me?

[wolfchild]

[ She is calm. You can tell when she's not because things are flying. ]

Yes.

[ or was it that she'd cut off their face? it had something to do with their face and inflicting great amounts of pain, that much she remembers. ]

[wilder]

Uh...who was it?

[ARYA PLZ]

[wolfchild]

[ She bites her lip as she thinks. The name eludes her. ]

I don't remember. It doesn't matter anyway. I got him to stop.

[ She holds up Curry against her shoulder. Perfect spot to give Arya fox kisses, can't be stopped, won't be stopped. ]

[wilder]

[CAN NEVER BE STOPPED]

Huh.

[a slight amused look] Never had anyone do that before.

[wolfchild]

People talking about you?

[wilder]

[he snorts]

Nah, that happens daily back home.

But someone threatening them over it for my sake is new.

[wolfchild]

I didn't like what he said. If someone is going to lie, I'll make them apologize.

[ And maybe tear their hair from their head nbd ]

[wilder]

[He smiles at her; a bit touched]

You're a good kid.

[wolfchild]

[ She beams with pride. Biting her lip, she glances at the windows. ]

I should go. Mother will want to know where I am.

[ Bending down, she sets Curry on the floor. Arya runs a hand down her back. ] Bye, you.

[wilder]

Alright.

[Curry gives a happy "vulpix!" yip at Arya and sitting down. Zelos meanwhile stands up]

I do get my usual hug, right?

[wolfchild]

[ She holds her arms up for him to pick her up. ]

You only get your hug if I get my kiss.

[wilder]

So demanding...!

[But he'll pick her up, pecking her forehead with a kiss]

[wolfchild]

[ She hugs him, resting her chin on his shoulder. Arya twists a lock of his hair around her finger. ]

Would you be sad if I were gone?

[wilder]

Hm?

Of course I would, my little wolf.

[wolfchild]

Then I'll try very hard not to so you won't be.
