Are you busy?

There's something I wanted to tell you but couldn't bring up during the solstice.

I hope it's not too difficult. Keeps you busy though, I bet.

I should let you get back to things, probably.

[turnsteptwirl]

Probably, but, honestly, I don't want to. All of this is starting to hurt my head.

[andlivefreely]

You know you can always write to me when you need a break, right?

You should get a cute, fuzzy familiar. Then you'd have someone to snuggle between learning things.

[turnsteptwirl]

Yeah, I know. ♥

Do Zen mages even have familiars?

[andlivefreely]

Yeah, some do. I think mechanically they provided a boost to mana or spell power or something. Not sure how that translated, either.

[turnsteptwirl]

Huh.

You know, I wouldn't mind something to cuddle.

[Aaaand it gives him a chance to potentially annoy the mage training him, so that's always a bonus]

I don't suppose you have anything small, cute, and fuzzy that Jill doesn't want to deal with? That isn't Gin, of course. (How's he doing, by the way?)

[andlivefreely]

Gin's all right. Though I may have to get rid of him if I have to move, unless I can get him licensed.

Sadly all I have are chickens and goats. The goats do kind of like to cuddle, but they're not very soft and probably too big to transport by dragon. [He draws a '8P']

[turnsteptwirl]

Wait. Move? Why would you have to move?

Haha, yeah, that's true. They don't really like transporting larger things like that. I guess I'll just have to drag someone here animal shopping with me.

Dad was paying the fees on this place. It's kind of expensive.

Could adopt a stray, if there are any?

Just be careful. Some of their cute, adorable little puppies and kittens grow spikes or stingers when they get older.

[turnsteptwirl]

Oh. Well, you can't get rid of Gin. He's kind of like a part of you now. :(

Maybe, but I don't think Beatrice would like that much. How she puts up with me as it is, I have no idea, but a stray would probably push every single button she has, and she scares me.

[andlivefreely]

We'll see. Might be able to find somewhere that allows pets.

Probably better to get one from someone who knows its lineage, anyway. No surprises.
