Who: Riona, a pupper and you!
Broadcast: yessss
Action: yessssssss
When: Today

[When the feed turns on, the fleet will immediately be greeted by the sight of a very excitable mabari puppy sniffing at the screen and trying to bite it. There's laughter behind him as his mistress pulls him back.]

Nice try, you little rascal.

[Riona plops him on her lap, keeping an arm securely around him. The ocean serves as the backdrop, the waves crashing against the shoreline. The sun is shining, but Riona's smile seems even brighter as she addresses the fleet.]

Everyone, meet Kiter. He's my mabari from home! Though he is much tinier than the last time I saw him... The tree must have made him little again. I can't fathom how or why, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[She presses a kiss to his head. He barks happily, though he keeps wiggling to try and get at the communicator.]

Maker, I missed you. Though you're a puppy again, you still knew me. [She looks back at the camera.] The tree has been kind to me. Kinder than Atroma, at any rate. I'm grateful to it and this world. But I digress. If anyone wants to meet Kiter here, we'll be by the sea. He always liked to chase the seabirds. And I will not pass up the salty air.

[That is where she will be, sitting on the beach and playing with her hound. The little guy will be running up and down the place, chasing birds and walking up to passersby. And be absolutely adorable, of course.]

yes ma'am sorry i was lazy sob

[nugqueen]

Hmm. Well then I suppose I should give my thanks to the tree for Schmooples III then.

[Tomato Tomato, really. They were brought here and the tree brought them presents. Still, she's pleased Riona is pleased.]

I'm not quite sure if it is actually my Schmooples or not but then nugs are all so cute it's hard to tell them apart at times, no?

[So for now this is the 3.0 version.]

Tsk tsk

[bryces_pup]

The third? [Riona laughs.] I didn't even know there was a second!

[Meanwhile, Leliana's voice makes its way to Kiter's ears. He perks up and immediately shoves his way into view. He barks excitedly and chambers at the screen. HI LELIANA 8DDD]

[nugqueen]

Yes, well Schmooples died of old age in the intervening years and I decided to try my hand at nug breeding. They became a fashionable pet in Orlais for a time.

[And she also just likes having the reminder of her adventures with a certain someone.]

Ah - Kiter is as excitable as ever, no?

[Silly pooch.]

[bryces_pup]

Ah, I suppose nugs don't have a terribly long lifespan, do they?

[She's not surprised at all that Leliana tried nug breeding. In fact, with that said, she's actually surprised she's only on Schmooples #3.]

Even more so this young.

[He barks again, pawing at the screen.]

I think he missed you.

[nugqueen]

No, but I still miss him terribly. Having him around meant having a piece of you with me.

[Now she didn't terribly need that, having the woman around again.]

Oh, he's so adorable! Imagine all the mischief he'll get himself into.

[bryces_pup]

Perhaps that piece of me shall live in all the Schmooples henceforth.

[She scratches behind Kiter's ears.]

Ugh, don't remind me. He was a little terror when I originally bonded with him. My mother called it justice for how much of a brat I was when I was a child.

[nugqueen]

I can see that being the case.

[On both Schmooples and Kiter, honestly.]

Oh, but I'm sure it hasn't changed. Kiter did love going through Morrigan's things.

[bryces_pup]

[There's a little grumble coming from the dog in question.]

He was only trying to help! He thought she was too skinny and wanted to make sure she ate.

[It's hardly his fault he didn't know she didn't like half-eaten rabbit!]

But still, you have a point. He did love terrorizing Alistair. And I'm relatively sure, despite his proclamation otherwise, that he's the one responsible for Oghren's shirt going missing.

[nugqueen]

[Oh Kiter... you're such a menace.]

And so his reign of terror shall continue, no?

[Definitely giggling.]

I'll have to keep my clothes locked up tight lest they go missing.

[Because Kiter puppy is probably much worse than Kiter adult mabari.]

[bryces_pup]

And your shoes.

[Kiter huffs in offense, giving Riona and then Leliana the stink-eye. He is not that terrible, thank you!!]

[nugqueen]

Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us and spare the shoes?

[You get one chance, dog. After that there will be no forgiveness! No treats from her!]
