Third Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

After completing his go at Gun Club, Arthur returned to the dorms only to realise he didn't much feel like dealing with Leto yet. He'd come up with a proper revenge later. Right now, he craved a chance to sit somewhere, to fight off the sense that was dawning in the wake of yesterday's upset. He sat, and idly considered the Teevee.

Maybe she's just afraid to lose a friend, Merlin had said, and while Arthur was not going to stretch as far as to call her that aloud, he had to admit that the expression on her face had... seemed...

It was easier, dealing with sorcerers, when all you did was distract Father and find them quick shelter elsewhere. Here, there was little escape from them. No matter what he did, they would remain, and the honest truth was that he bore them very little ill will.

Wasn't his father. He'd seen too much damage caused by it not to be wary, but...

Of course, that made him think of Liir. He wasn't going to let thought of his conduct around him make him cringe.

So he sat. Subdued. Thinking.

"Blysse," Romeo repeated. "That's right, it's hard not to notice the wolf. It's odd -- a year here and I still find new people to meet."

"I have only beened here a few moonspans, but I find this true also," Firekeeper agreed. "And 'the wolf', he is having a name too. Blind Seer."

"Of course," Romeo nodded. "Does Blind Seer talk?"

It was entirely possible in Fandom.

"He speak, yes," Firekeeper nodded. "In the manner of Beasts, not in human tongue. But he understand your words well enough."

"Oh." Romeo turned to Blind Seer. "I have not caused any offense, have I?"

"He did not call me a pet, though that is the usual human assumption," Blind Seer commented, looking up at Romeo from where he had, indeed, found something palatable.

"He say, you not call him a pet, like so many others is doing," Firekeeper translated dutifully. "And, we is knowing that the wolves most humans see, they is only Cousins. Dumber. So, you would not be knowing he could speak."

"He's too grand to be a pet," Romeo said, once he'd translated Blysse's speech pattern. "Why is Blind Seer different from wolves I would have seen in the zoo?"

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Royal Beasts is stronger and smarter than Cousins," Firekeeper explained. "With wolves, they is bigger, too." And Blind Seer was, indeed, about a head or so taller than the average wolf.
