Who: Kogarasumaru
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Iskaulit
When: Today until the 11th

Iskaulit - The Dojo

[This is a place where Kogarasumaru offers swordsmanship lessons but also a chance for people to spar in safety. However, today this space doesn't appear to be used for either of those things. In fact, if one is to come to this space for either they will instead find the tiny sword dancing. There's no music but it almost seems like it doesn't require it really. There's a sort of tranquility to his expression as he moves before he turns towards the one who has stepped inside and offers a smile as he holds his hand out towards that person.]

Will you watch or dance?

[He's now paused in his motions as he waits for the answer.]


Iskaulit - Fox Park

[Despite the snow, there is a pretty young man sitting there with a fox sleeping on his lap while he strokes the fur gently. He has no shoes or gloves on and clearly doesn't appear to be bothered by the snow. Is it cold? Well he's showing no signs of caring about that or even recognizing the fact and instead just enjoying the company of his companion.

Seeing someone, he lifts a finger to his painted lips in a soft shhh before smiling.]

Softly now. This little one sleeps.


Iskaulit - Hallway

[At some point he'll be found simply standing in a hallway looking thoughtful. There's really not much else going on honestly. He's just sort of looking off into the distance pondering something. At least until he notices that he isn't alone. At that point he'll turn with one of his customary smiles.]

Would you happen to be able to tell this father which establishment you would recommend for drinks? I would like to partake in one right now.

[Who better to ask than another person, right?]

A fact not too surprising since food is safety.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Of course. I would be surprised if an animal didn't pick food.

[crow_dad]

If an animal does not pick food then one can assume there is another difficulty at hand. At least that is what I have seen during my years.

[scalpelofmarmora]

That is true. Usually injury or illness. Having them come out for food will allow us to learn about this before it becomes too bad.

[crow_dad]

They truly are a wonder. So able to tell us when to look for something bad. The honesty in animals is one of the most amazing things in the world when I think about it.

[scalpelofmarmora]

More than sentient beings. It's too common for them to not want to admit there is something wrong for some reason. Animals don't have the same problems.

[He reaches down again to pet the fox]

[crow_dad]

It is simply not an instinct they have unless they are using that as a means of survival. But I am glad to see these little ones are all healthy so far. I hope to keep it that way for them.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Yes, it is good that they do not require anything after being on their own for sometime. You will have to help me learn about what they need.

[crow_dad]

It is much like a family job now. Since you are much like my child.

[That rather pleases him actually.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

[It still surprises him to hear that Koga thinks of him as a child, especially given that he is likely older. But there's still something... nice about having that sense of family so he can't even argue the point]

I suppose it is now. I will do my best with it.

[crow_dad]

You will do well. You have a kind heart and a desire to heal and protect. Already these little ones sense that in you and are drawn to it. You have been embraced by them just as those around you embrace you.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[He looks back down at the fox in his lap, giving it a light pet. Yes, it had trusted him rather quickly. Maybe it could sense something about him. Also interesting since his role undercover was not necessarily what he wanted to do]

And I hope to never lose that part of me. Because I prefer this much better.
