"If only he had followed you to the bathroom, hm? Though he might have ruffled some Orlesian ladies' feathers." Ellana is picturing shrieking and fainting as ladies in big dresses ran straight into a giant, drooling war hound.

"True, and we couldn't afford to offend potential allies. That was...an exceptionally long night." The Game was tedious on every level and she hadn't even played it as actively as others, but policing her every word and action in front of a very critical -and at times, blatantly anti-elf- audience was special form of torture. She smirks a little, watching Quillhelmina. "She would be have been small enough to hide on you, and thus much less offensive."

[serannas]

"That's true. Not that Garahel would ever mean to offend anybody. It's just stuffy people who would take offense, right?" She makes a pouty face at the dog, as if he's so oppressed in being himself, then scratches him under his chin.

"I plan on taking Quillhelmina around with me a lot, unless I have a need for stealth. Not that she's loud, but I wouldn't want to take the chance, you know?"

[circleprodigy]

Garahel whines in agreement -at least Ellana can see his plight!- and wags his tail happily at all the chin-scratching. Inessa, meanwhile, strokes their smaller animal companion. "Of course, there's no need to put pressure on either of you. If you need a babysitter while I'm available, I would be happy to watch her."

[serannas]

"That would be great! I can already tell you two get along well." Granted, Quillhelmina would like anyone who pets her and gives her food, but perhaps deep down there's some animal instinct to trust such a nice person too.

"Now, how's this for our snack time? Have we had enough?" Ellana has a feeling Garahel will protest that he's not been given near enough just yet.

[circleprodigy]

Garahel lets out a whine and paces, but Inessa stands firm. Well, fine, he can have a scratch behind the ears. "Yes, we have. Garahel needs to remain in fighting shape, after all. With that in mind, it's time for some exercise. You'll be the better for it, my friend."

The mabari seems to accept that, but also goes to Ellana one last time for a petting.

[serannas]

"And while you two get on that, I need to rewrite these pages so I can send them off." She obediently pets Garahel again, because he has her pretty well trained by now. Then she scoops up her hedgehog friend.

"I'll see you two around!"
