[Video] - An Army of Wolves - (Sanguis Cycle)

[envoyoftwilight]

[Midna hasn't exactly put together what's going on with the cycles of the moon, but she is distinctly pleased by the concept of animal companions. In particular, the wolf and dog sorts.

She's in her very bare-bones apartment. Seems she hasn't taken the initiative to decorate it yet. It's somewhere on an invisible to-do list.

Lounging on her bed, she wears a coy little smile.]

I've noticed an increase in puppies around lately. I once worked very closely with one and we proved to be very practical to one another. As such, if you find a puppy without a home, I'm more than willing to let them stay with me.

I promise to take very good care of them.

[Yes. She's going to adopt all of the wolves. And dogs.]

[...What does she even say to any of this?
Is he kidding? Is he serious?

She tries not to express her confusion, but it's hard.]

Is that your way of saying you're a troublemaker?

[chainlinks]

[A little of column a and column b...he's' very good at confusing others.]

Well, some people did see me this way back home.

[And so he continues; not a no, not a yes...]

I'm just having fun. Are you saying you're a troublemaker?

[video]

[envoyoftwilight]

I imagine some have called me one, and then some.

[Entitled. A brat. An imp. Unbearable.
Midna can think of plenty of words that likely suit her.]

But most would call me beautiful.

[Zing.]

[He just stays quiet for a few seconds to let that sink in before answering with a little bit of amusement hidden away in a layer of deadpan delivery;]

Well they'd certainly be right.

[video] - I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU, BABY.

[envoyoftwilight]

[She chortles. Her favourite thing is probably when people actually play along. It's not really playing along, of course, in Midna's head. She's undeniably beautiful and she already knows she's never met anyone who looks remotely like her.]

Flatterer. But one cannot deny the truth, I suppose. I would never lie over something so important.

[Which is probably not true. Although to be fair, not telling the whole truth isn't really the same thing as a lie.]

[chainlinks]

[From one trickster to another, it is always a good time, but perhaps more dangerous to those around them.]

I've been told we are our own worst critics. It's good to know some people don't have that problem and brim with self-confidence.

[He gets it.]

So is the puppy story top secret? I have to admit I'm a little curious...

[envoyoftwilight]

[Brimming with self-confidence. That's certainly one way of putting it, isn't it? Midna preens a little bit more.

His question, however, catches her attention.]

Who's to say there's a story? I once knew a puppy I rather liked. I miss having one to do my errands for me.

[...At least she's kind of honest.]

[chainlinks]

[Oh he sees where this is going.]

So you're looking for someone to be your maid. Your...doggie maid.

[Not that Ren ever used those services, don't be silly.]

[envoyoftwilight]

Hm... Maid isn't how I'd put it. Although I suppose a maid is a bit like a servant.

[Oh, great. Now he's got her thinking about it seriously.]

I'd prefer to say I'm more in the market for someone to be my pet. So maybe just a 'doggie.'

[chainlinks]

Well...I've been someone's little guinea pig before, but being a doggie would be new. I'm admittedly more of a cat person myself.

[A servant huh....]

[envoyoftwilight]

[Cat... Oh, right. She saw those in Hyrule's castletown.]

I'm not terribly familiar with those. I knew of a few, but they seemed a bit... stuck up. [A bit like her. There's only room for one stuck up main character in her story, and that's her.]

If you decide you want to revisit the servant life, I'm certain I have a few things you could do for me.

[chainlinks]

I wouldn't say stuck up so much as...independent?

[Just like the grin he gives her.]

I was a prisoner for a while, but no jail can hold me in. If you have requests for me, we'll see what I can do.

[envoyoftwilight]

We're all prisoners in one way or another. Just depends if we're willing or not.

[She's a prisoner of the darkness, but the truth is that she'd rather have that than light.]

I'll be sure to hold you to that. I'm certain you'll be regretting those words soon enough.

[chainlinks]

It depends what kind of task you have for me. I do enjoy challenges, you know.

[The implications of that are many, but he lets it linger a little longer for emphasis.]

Let me know when you need something.

[envoyoftwilight]

Challenges, hm? I'll have to think up something very interesting for you.

[Great. Now there's work involved.]

I'll let you know when it's ready.
