01 [Amber]

Hello, everyone! You'll never guess what I've found!

[She doesn't give anyone time to guess, as the view from the amber immediately wheels around to face the mist. Or, more specifically, the ground near the mist, where some gnarled roots have broken through.]

It's ginger! I'm sure of it! It smells so nice... I was thinking that perhaps we could make tea! It's been so long since I've had proper ginger tea. And I think I saw some honeycomb on the branch where the food is, so we can add some of that, too! I'm sure the lil' bugs will help us heat up water. Oh, it will be so lovely!

Would anyone be so kind as to help me gather some ginger? There's more than enough for everyone!

[GASP] You have a puppy? I love puppies!

[Ivaera smiles and chuckles, nodding.]

He's a bit big to be called a puppy now, but I don't think he'd mind. Give him attention and he'll be your new best friend.

[lady_bug]

Oooh! I want to be his best friend, too!

[She tilts the amber to show her mabari, who perks up when the subject turns to him. He pads over and barks up at the amber slice, tail wagging away.]

Meet Garahel, my mabari. I'm Ivaera Surana, before I forget my manners.

[puppy puppy puppy puppy!]

Oh my goodness! Aren't you just the cutest widdle puppy-wuppy? Yes you are! Yes you are!

[She turns her attention back to Ivaera.]

It's lovely to meet you, Miss Surana! And Garahel too!

[circleprodigy]

[That bably-talk makes Ivaera laugh as Garahel responds by barking excitedly again, then rolling over onto his back.]

Now you've done it. He'll want belly rubs as soon as he can get them.
