[ Today, Emil is sitting in the lobby, back to his normal self and looking pretty happy about it. He also seems to be attempting to play paddleball, which is probably not all that easy when you can't see what you're doing. Anyone walking close by better be careful. The journal beside him also picks up the sound of him playing. ]

I'm really glad that's over. I like it here, but it's a lot easier when I look like myself. But I hope I didn't scare anyone too much...

[ A short pause, like he's trying to remember something. ]

Oh, that's right! I was going to ask earlier, but I kept forgetting. The castle only celebrates some holidays here, but I don't know about that many of them from other places or anything like that. And I never really celebrated any before I got here...so if anyone has the time, could you tell me about the ones you like best?

Not until I came here.

[ Indeed he does! So he'll let her do that while petting her. ]

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

Good thing we're here, then.

[Marian contents herself with watching them cuddle.]

I'm going to order some tea. Do you want something, Emil?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine.

[ After all...dog buddy! ]

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

Haha, good! Not even cake? I've got some biscuits for Wheely, but there's no rush.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Does she eat regular food?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

She'd probably eat anything, if I let her. But I'll make sure to give her food fitting for a dog. There was a store in town that was very helpful.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

There's a store with just food for dogs?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

Heh, no; there was food for a whole range of pets! Toys and leashes, cages... Loads of things!

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Wow, what kind of store is that?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

They called it a "pet store". I was surprised too.

[And if there isn't, there ought to be one, LOL.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Do they sell pets there too?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

Not there, but there's an animal shelter for pets in the city.

Would you like to have a pet, Emil?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't think I'd be very good at taking care of one. I was just asking.

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

Oh, you never know... But that's responsible of you. Have you been to the animal shelter?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

No, not yet.

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

We can go there one day, if you like.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

And we can play with the animals there?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

I think so, if they and we are nice. At least pet them and maybe play some fetch.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

I'd like that!

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

So would I, Emil. We must make it happen.

[Wheely jumps up again, landing between them. Marian pets her, resisting an impulse to hug Emil for his cuteness.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Also pettin' Wheely. Hooray for making more than one friend at once! ]

Okay! We can go together, and...would Wheely go too?

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

[Happy! ♥]

I'm sure she would, but we'd better ask if she's allowed. The other pets might be upset, that happens a lot between animals. Dogs bark at cats, birds, pokémons, other dogs... We can bring her and see what happens.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Ohh, that's too bad. I hope they can all get along.

[lady-maz.livejournal.com]

We must hope for the best. [She thinks it's the same with Paradisa and every world the residants come from, always a problem to get along and deal with issues. But talking to Emil helps.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ He has his problems, of course, but he's managing quite well. ]

I guess so.
