un : deft hand of little deaths (voice)

[The sound that starts up is that of some loud sniffing and snuffling, and Xie Lian's voice is a little muffled at first.]

Oh, wow, have you been following us all this time? I didn't expect to see you there! Does that mean your master is around too?

[That.... would be a feat, but who knows. Anurr has some interest in monitoring their progress, after all. They're basically taking down his competition.

More shuffling around, and definitely the sound of something breaking, maybe some dish.]

Listen, I think this house is probably a bit too small for you. Not that I'm not happy to see you, but really, you should be outside no nononononono don't eat that!!!!

[The sounds of loud mastication covers everything for a while, and then a sound that is not unlike a low, threatening growl, because, well that's exactly what it is.

When Xie Lian's voice is next heard, it clearly sounds like he's running.]

I told you not to eat that!!!

Withdraw.

[scrapgege]

I'm trying?

[downswing]

Faster.

[scrapgege]

I'm doing my best here, you realize?

[downswing]

Do you succeed?

[scrapgege]

It's still running after me, if that's what you're asking.

[downswing]

Will your rope not subdue it?

[scrapgege]

I don't want to use a spiritual weapon on him.... He's Anurr's bear, I'm not sure what that could do to him. Or Ruoye.

[downswing]

Seek me. You shall have shield.

[scrapgege]

Well, where are you?

[downswing]

( ...that moment when you have no map. )

Within an hour's reach of the dragon nests.

( 'Anywhere in the citadel' it is! )

[scrapgege]

... Well, that's not very precise, but never mind. It'll probably lose interest after a while.

[downswing]

It pursued Wei Ying for a year's turn.

[aprescoup]

( The bear, in fact, eats that.

The bear eats everything.

The bear cannot be contained. )

[scrapgege]

[Well, don't complain about the stomachache!!!!!]

[binghua]

Oh.

[He's not sure exactly what's happening, but if it involves Xie Lian's cooking...]

Oh, dear...

[scrapgege]

I told him not to.... Really now, why get mad at me when i tried to make sure this wouldn't happen!

[binghua]

Even trained animals do not always listen to commands and I do not know if this bear is trained in any manner.

Is he still running?

[scrapgege]

As far as I can tell, yes.

[binghua]

[Well. That's promising? If it ate Xie Lian's cooking, then staying upright is an achievement. Did it eat Xie Lian's cooking? Xingchen realizes he isn't sure.]

And he doesn't appear ill?

[scrapgege]

Now that you mention it... not really? But he's not happy.

[balancedwire]

What exactly did it eat?

[ He doesn't know too much about Xie Lian but this can't be good. ]

Do you have somewhere to run to? Away from the bear.

[scrapgege]

My dinner....

The streets are pretty winding here so I think Ill manage to lose the bear.... eventually.

[balancedwire]

Eventually is better than not at all.
