Hello, everyone. It's Dextera.

I've recently come into the possession of a potion that allows me to speak with animals. It's limited in both quantity and effective time, but with everyone coming in recently, I've noticed that there are a lot of new animals running around the town. If anyone has very strong feelings about learning the emotions of their animal companions, please let me know. I'm willing to use the last of the potion to ask.

Additionally, it seems that the thoughts of the creatures in the forest are as distorted as their bodies. I could understand them, but I couldn't "understand" them. I did learn that the geese are very angry. For those of us who have been investigating the forest, I thought this would be of interest.

Thank you for your time.

I’ve eaten plenty of things I found on the floor.

[ honesty is the best policy. ]

[good_ideas]

[It is the best policy, especially because now she only has one question on her mind.]

WHY

[passio]

Sometimes that’s your only option.

[good_ideas]

you have options here though



right?

[passio]

I suppose so, but I feel a little guilty taking food from people who need it more.

[good_ideas]

has anyone told you that you're taking food they need?

[passio]

Well, no, but food seems so limited here.

[ shiho............ ]

[good_ideas]

[If people are guilting him about eating food, she's going to need to give them A Talk*.

*A destructive, violent kind of talk.]

it probably is
but that doesn't mean you need to eat less of it and more of the floor food so the rest of us have more
we're supposed to share right?

[passio]

We are.

It’s not like I exclusively eat things that are bad for me. It’s just that I can, and I don’t mind it.

Please don’t worry.

[good_ideas]

you know that not minding it isn't the same as liking it

and so what if i'm worried
i'm allowed to when you're eating food off the floor

[passio]

[ god made dirt so dirt don't hurt, shiho ]

Well... if it worries you that much, I'll try to clean things up from now on.

[good_ideas]

[just because it sounds snazzy doesn’t make it true!!]

cleaning them up doesn’t work for potions though does it?

[passio]

That's true.

Guren did check this one for me, though, and he's got a stronger constitution than most. I trust him.

[good_ideas]

he drank it too didn't he

[passio]

Well... yes. It's hard to do anything else.

[ and it was FINE ]

[good_ideas]

did you even try anything else?
next time give it to me
i can check it

[Why are they all like this. First Minato, then Mafuyu, now Dex and Guren too?!]

[passio]

[ can you blame him... it's like his job to eat food off the floor. ]

I think the only way to check it is to drink it.

[good_ideas]

it’s not the only way so stop drinking things!!
I have a way and i can check it for you

It’s like that time when you saved me from the shadow and i went looking for my ring
Remember?

It’s like that

[passio]

Are you... some type of mind reader, Shiho?

[ not a "mind" reader, since she seems to focus on objects, but he doesn't know what the proper term for an ability like that is. a thing-reader doesn't do it justice. ]

[good_ideas]

[Well, so much for being discreet. Should she lie? Or should she tell the truth? It takes her a suspiciously long time to reply.]

could we
not talk about this on the forum

[passio]

[ that he can do. dextera doesn't read other people's replies on the forums, mostly, out of a respect for privacy, but he understands that not everyone is so... like that. ]

Of course. We don't have to talk about it at all, but I can send you a more private message if you don't mind.

[good_ideas]

that works




thank you
