[1/20/2014 9:12:32 PM] Kestrel: Allys trots along after you, still in her pajamas.

[1/20/2014 9:12:54 PM] Janis: Just a word of warning.

[1/20/2014 9:13:11 PM] Janis: She only responds to commands in infernal, so I only know a few.

[1/20/2014 9:13:40 PM] Kestrel: Allys nods. "Often mistreated animals have sensitivities others of their kind do not share--is this the case here?"

[1/20/2014 9:13:59 PM | Removed 9:14:14 PM] Janis: This message has been removed.

[1/20/2014 9:14:22 PM] Janis: ((Nevermind, misread that))

[1/20/2014 9:14:33 PM] Janis: She seems really friendly, if that's what you mean.

[1/20/2014 9:14:39 PM] Janis: Oh, just don't let her lick you.

[1/20/2014 9:14:48 PM] Janis: Her tongue kinda...burns.

[1/20/2014 9:14:55 PM] Janis: Janis reaches the door

[1/20/2014 9:15:09 PM] Kestrel: Allys: I well recall. We were set upon by hellhounds once.

[1/20/2014 9:15:19 PM] Janis: Here we are.

[1/20/2014 9:15:22 PM] Janis: Janis opens the door.

[1/20/2014 9:15:31 PM] Janis: Flamey? Are you awake?

[1/20/2014 9:16:09 PM] Kestrel: Flamey hops up, arfing happily, and goes to Janis immediately, hopping up on her and not quite licking her face. Allys kneels on the ground.

[1/20/2014 9:16:25 PM] Janis: Janis laughs and pets the dog

[1/20/2014 9:16:34 PM] Janis: I missed you too.

[1/20/2014 9:16:41 PM] Kestrel: Flamey: Arf! Arf, arf!

[1/20/2014 9:16:47 PM] Janis: Flamey, this is Allys.

[1/20/2014 9:16:52 PM] Janis: Allys, Flamey.

[1/20/2014 9:16:58 PM] Kestrel: Her tail waggity-wag-wags, and she sniffs at Allys curiously.

[1/20/2014 9:17:13 PM] Kestrel: Allys holds out a hand tentatively, and Flamey sniffs it.

[1/20/2014 9:17:32 PM] Janis: Janis looks, slightly anxious, hoping Flamey doesn't lick her.

[1/20/2014 9:18:08 PM] Kestrel: Then Flamey knocks her over, by putting her paws on Allys's shoulders. Allys responds by petting the hellhound.

[1/20/2014 9:18:37 PM] Kestrel: Who immediately flops over onto her back for a bellyrub.

[1/20/2014 9:18:45 PM] Kestrel: Allys: When is she due?

[1/20/2014 9:18:45 PM] Janis: Janis smiles

[1/20/2014 9:18:49 PM] Janis: ...due?

[1/20/2014 9:19:03 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Due. The puppies. When will the puppies arrive?

[1/20/2014 9:19:12 PM] Janis: ...................she's having puppies?!?

[1/20/2014 9:19:27 PM] Janis: Janis looks at her belly, as if she knows what to look for.

[1/20/2014 9:19:55 PM] Kestrel: Allys: I can't be *entirely* certain; this is certainly the first time a hellhound has presented its ... her... belly to me rather than attempting to tear out my throat and devour the remains.

[1/20/2014 9:20:11 PM] Kestrel: The belly is bigger than  it was! But she was half-starved before, so hard to say.

[1/20/2014 9:20:29 PM] Janis: I just assumed we were feeding her really well.

[1/20/2014 9:21:33 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Possible. We will have to see. However, if they resemble ordinary hounds, she will be having puppies. And I am not sufficiently aware of hellhound physiology to determine when.

[1/20/2014 9:21:51 PM] Janis: .......................holy shit.

[1/20/2014 9:22:04 PM] Janis: I didn't even think of that!

[1/20/2014 9:22:14 PM] Kestrel: Allys: She seems healthy enough.

[1/20/2014 9:22:47 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Deliveries can go poorly, of course, but I think between Tarak and I, you need not worry overmuch.

[1/20/2014 9:23:03 PM] Janis: ...Tarak's delivered Hellhound babies before?

[1/20/2014 9:23:27 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Certainly not. However, he has some healing capabilities of his own.

[1/20/2014 9:23:43 PM] Janis: ...I don't even know where we'll be able to keep them all.

[1/20/2014 9:24:04 PM] Janis: The reason we've been keeping Flamey in storage is because she'll burn through anywhere else eventually.

[1/20/2014 9:24:44 PM] Kestrel: Allys looks around, still rubbing Flamey's belly. "... space here *does* seem insufficient for an entire brood of them."

[1/20/2014 9:25:06 PM] Janis: Janis pulls on her hair without thinking, bringing her ears out of hiding.

[1/20/2014 9:25:14 PM] Janis: We should tell the others.

[1/20/2014 9:25:33 PM] Kestrel: Allys: That is your decision.

[1/20/2014 9:26:04 PM] Kestrel: Flamey forgets herself for a moment and licks Allys's hand; Allys barely seems to notice and the burn is gone almost the moment it appears.

[1/20/2014 9:26:16 PM] Janis: .......are you ok?

[1/20/2014 9:26:32 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Of course. It was clearly an accident.

[1/20/2014 9:26:42 PM] Janis: .............but, you didn't even flinch.

[1/20/2014 9:26:57 PM] Kestrel: She looks at Flamey, who already looks guilty, likely at the smell of the charred flesh.

[1/20/2014 9:27:19 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Burns are painful, but at that level not significant.

[1/20/2014 9:27:29 PM] Janis: ............huh.

[1/20/2014 9:28:29 PM] Kestrel: Allys: I would leave it, normally, but the smell may either upset or entice the hound. Which is not a fair test of character; even a human may become hungry at the smell of burning flesh not knowing it too is human.

[1/20/2014 9:29:03 PM] Janis: ...you can just heal yourself? Is that a priest thing?

[1/20/2014 9:29:34 PM] Kestrel: Allys: I have the favor of Bahamut, yes. I prefer the term priestess, though there is no significant difference in this case.

[1/20/2014 9:29:45 PM] Janis: Sorry.

[1/20/2014 9:30:07 PM] Kestrel: Allys shrugs, scritching Flamey's head.

[1/20/2014 9:30:23 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Good dog. Good.

[1/20/2014 9:30:34 PM] Janis: Janis pets Flamey too.

[1/20/2014 9:30:49 PM] Kestrel: Flamey immediately turns to Janis and her tail starts whomping the floor again.

[1/20/2014 9:31:09 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Even if she does not understand the language she comprehends the tone well enough. Dogs are intelligent.

[1/20/2014 9:31:16 PM] Janis: Janis nods

[1/20/2014 9:31:38 PM] Janis: I like animals.

[1/20/2014 9:31:45 PM] Janis: They're a lot better than people.

[1/20/2014 9:31:53 PM] Janis: No offense.

[1/20/2014 9:32:00 PM] Kestrel: Allys: More agreeable, certainly, in many cases.

[1/20/2014 9:32:07 PM] Janis: Janis nods

[1/20/2014 9:32:21 PM] Janis: ...hey Allys, why'd you want to come on our ship anyway?

[1/20/2014 9:33:10 PM] Kestrel: Allys: Tarak was on the verge of collapse, and I did not want to carry him back. He is extremely heavy with his armor on, and we do not have horses.

[1/20/2014 9:33:45 PM] Janis: ...so...when you were telling us about how you were gonna discipline us...you were just looking for a place to sleep for the night?

[1/20/2014 9:34:29 PM] Kestrel: Allys: I had *thought* to mend whatever needed mending in this place, and leave in a day or two when my brother had recovered. As much as he ever recovers.

[1/20/2014 9:34:44 PM] Janis: ..............

[1/20/2014 9:34:47 PM] Janis: Janis laughs

[1/20/2014 9:35:25 PM] Janis: Well, you know, you could've just asked.

[1/20/2014 9:35:40 PM] Janis: Probably would've saved you a lot of trouble.

[1/20/2014 9:36:13 PM] Kestrel: Allys shrugs. "Clearly we were needed. If not precisely in the way I had imagined."

[1/20/2014 9:36:33 PM] Janis: Janis shurgs.

[1/20/2014 9:36:40 PM] Janis: Janis yawns

[1/20/2014 9:36:52 PM] Kestrel: Allys: ... we should both get some rest.

[1/20/2014 9:36:54 PM] Janis: I think Flamey needs some sleep.

[1/20/2014 9:37:01 PM] Kestrel: Allys: ... all three of us. Yes.

[1/20/2014 9:37:06 PM] Janis: ...yeah.

[1/20/2014 9:37:16 PM] Kestrel: She gives Flamey one last gentle pat on the belly and stands up, stretching a little bit.

[1/20/2014 9:37:26 PM] Janis: Let's stop by the library first though, make sure Lira and Wynn haven't killed each other.

[1/20/2014 9:37:34 PM] Janis: Janis guides Flamey back into storage.

[1/20/2014 9:37:38 PM] Janis: Good night Flamey.

[1/20/2014 9:37:41 PM] Janis: Janis closes the door.

[1/20/2014 9:37:56 PM] Kestrel: Flamey regretfully goes back in there, tail still wagging.

[1/20/2014 9:38:01 PM] Kestrel: And Allys follows Janis back.
