[ Pickles agrees that there is always something to think about and slightly nods. From Daan's view, he'll see a word peeking out from Pickles's fur in a way that's very noticeable. It reads "arcanist". ]
[ Wow. Not even the dog's safe, that's fucked up. ]
...You've got a word, here... arcanist.
[ As far as Daan could tell, these words seemed pretty personal -- fears, insecurities, the things of nightmares. He supposed it was hard to imagine Pickles had them but then again... he's so smart... intelligence, thereby enlightenment begets darkness. ]
[ Yeah. Imagine!! Daan will even see a peek of "lonely" not so far from the first word. ]
Woo.
[ The puppy would like to note that arcanists are mostly seen as a class below humans, but its own behavior is mostly chalked up to a dog being smart. ]
[ Oh...! He thinks he sees? Well, there's still a lot of missing information and a lot he doesn't know, but he's cognisant about different worlds by now. Hell, different planets. Tieflings, robot cowboys, and apparently, a literal sword spirit.
DOG-SHAPED SENTIENT ALIEN RACE!! Why not. It'd make sense why he has his own poster and Ser Snuffles does not. ]
I apologise. [ For treating you like a dog. ] Is an "arcanist" what you are?
[ Pickles tilts his head, wondering what Daan is apologizing for. ]
Woof... woof. Woo.
[ The puppy says that an arcanist is born with abilities and gifts akin to magic. However, an arcanist comes in all shapes and sizes--such as an apple, a UFO, a ghost, a radio and more. ]
Now he's thinking about how allegedly this translator was made by a 'Mr. Apple'. He sees. He will have to take 'born' as the metaphorical kind here because otherwise there are a lot of questions to be had about at least 75% of that list. ]
Things make... a lot more sense now, I think. Feels like I'm never going to stop being surprised...
[ The puppy would just like to live in peaceful silence with its books and is tired of interviews. The puppy does not care for reputation and would rather rid of it. ]
[ He should've considered that and yet he didn't, and them he thought it'd make sense since Pickles is so cognisant, and then here he is, learning this dog is in fact apparently owned.
His journey isn't going nearly as smoothly as he'd like. ]

That's a high ask. He doesn't say that though, just petting doggo. Don't be sad... ]
Thank you. Come on now.

Does it bother you to be seen as a dog?

Woof?
[ The puppy would like to insist that its existence is of a canis lupus familiaris. ]

But it's like how some people can treat other humans as lesser just because they don't see each other as fellow men of equal standing.
You've proven yourself plenty worthy of respect, not that I thought otherwise, but I was thinking of it in terms of "for a dog".
[ And that's what he'd like to apologise for. ]
no subject
Woof, woof. Woo...
[ The puppy would like to thank you, for it has given up on earning any respect and settled for less. ]

Been earning the wrong kind, then. I meant the way people look at you, but... yeah, getting hounded sounds pretty annoying.
[ Journalists (derogatory). Also no pun intended. ]

[ Pickles can't nod with his head on the lap, so he looks up at him instead.

no subject
[ Sounds like he is in agreement.
The puppy says that its owner can be a handful, but he has other redeeming qualities. The puppy would not leave him for anyone else. ]

That's nice.
Sometimes a person isn't perfect, but that doesn't change if they're someone you like.
Hopefully you can return to them soon...
