still it makes a difference when you're surrounded by the unfamiliar to have someone who has the same home as you did
it's fun to be able to make cultural references that people actually understand

[baguablade]

We're from completely different kingdoms, though.
And he's a knight, and I'm a soldier. We have very different philosophies...

[underwhelms]

i know i would love to have someone to talk to who can spot the difference between a lutz and a loop
or someone that speaks the same language
actually there are a few french speakers around but their dialect is different
it's like trying to talk to molière!
(he's been dead for like 500 years)

[baguablade]

You do have a point... And I shouldn't take it for granted.
But you know, we have new friends to make, too.
And I'd be honored if you'd teach me to spot the difference between a lutz and a loop
so that I could talk about it with you!

[underwhelms]

cain you already dedicate so much time to me 😊

[ and JJ LOVES IT ]

[baguablade]

Of course, I'm your knight! And your friend!
I'd be remiss if I didn't!

[underwhelms]

well if you really want

[ wait a second, hadn't they been talking about cain before this?

damn, jj is too good at bulldozing the conversation toward himself ]

you should tell me about your hobbies from home too

[baguablade]

[ Damnit JJ, why couldn't you just take the subject change! ]

Hobbies, huh...
I guess I read a lot? And napped! Our kingdom's primal beast was suuuuuper fluffy.
The rest of the time I was usually out on missions for my king.

[ He might have been something of a workaholic... ]

[underwhelms]

fluffy??
i thought you said he wasn't an animal

[baguablade]

Bai Zhe is. He's kind of like a big wolf-dog?
Only much fluffier! Ah, I miss petting his ears...
Though I only got to do that the one time, too.

[underwhelms]

so your kingdom was ruled over by a... dog??

[baguablade]

Of course not!
He was the royal advisor.

[underwhelms]

cain this is really hard to understand
this is a talking dog??

[baguablade]

Yes, of course. How else would we communicate with him?

[underwhelms]

i've never spoken to a dog before?
it sounds like a dream

[baguablade]

It's pretty common with primal beasts...
Some of them look like humans but many of them resemble creatures out of myths.
Bai Zhe's much bigger than a normal dog, too.
He's very majestic. (And fluffy!)

[underwhelms]

can you show me a picture?

[baguablade]

Just kidding!

[underwhelms]

[ looks like a... sheep......??

squints

oh, there's a big picture— ]

that just looks like a fluffy dog! [ who's a good boy!! ]
i'd love to have a boss like that

[baguablade]

I told you, he's super fluffy!
He's kind of an annoying boss, though.
He doesn't listen to anyone but the sovereign :|

[underwhelms]

maybe you should scratch him behind the ears more often 😉

[baguablade]

He's not a real dog!
Primal beasts are beings of great power.
We were lucky that one chose to offer his protection to our kingdom.
