[ Pickles sits next to Daan near the pyre and is quiet for a moment. ]
... Woof, woof. Woo...
[ The puppy's owner is named Charlton and it misses him very much. Despite Charlton being very troublesome, the puppy still loved its owner and the owner loved it back. But when the puppy saw him, it was betrayed and the owner chased it out violently. After a long time, it saw him being hung from a tree and attacked him like a zombie. ]
Likely a hallucination, just like what you saw me do to Mr. Matsuno.
This place seems hellbent on tormenting your psyche in every way, doesn't it?
[ And apparently physically too. That's fun. He also noted the horrid expression Alfyn and Geto had when Laudna joked about them killing each other. Yikes. ]
It's natural to react badly as a response to pain and fear. Everyone does. I've seen it of course, plenty of it on the front -- shell shock, they call it.
[ You're breaking my heart Pickles...... truly just one of my best crs here is the best dog in the world. This really is heartwrenching in a way he doesn't usually feel. ]
Pickles...
[ MAN. Just come over here. If he's willing and able to move, he's just going to give this dog a damn hug. ]
[ Pickles is willing to move, so he gets up to get a hug. He may be cold and uncomfortable to hug, but Pickles appreciates it all the time. Dogs don't cry like humans do out of emotions, but there is the occasional high pitched whines when they cry at you. ]
[ THIS IS SO SAD!!! Daan is really no good at this but. Gods. He just pats and rubs Pickles's back and lets him grieve it out. There there...
Their poor dog... he'll just stay like this until Pickles feels better and can rest, and probably Daan has left to check up again on other injured when curfew hit. ]

I know. That must be miserable.
[ Please for the love of god don't die like this it would be such a way to go. ]
Let me know if there's anything I can get for you, or any uncomfortable areas, injuries...

The puppy wishes for you to listen. ]

[ Turning over his palm so he can nose all he wants. ]
I'll listen to whatever you have to and want to say.

[ The puppy agrees. Everyone hated it and it exiled itself into the forest for a long, long time.
Dog was lonely. ]

[ Just to. Make that clear. You definitely don't look 4 anymore. ]
no subject
[ The puppy thinks it was at least a month. ]
no subject
An entire month... [ Muttered. ] Logically, that makes no sense given I only just saw you yesterday afternoon.
...You were just on your own there? For the entire time?
[ Without Geto, Todomatsu, nor Alfyn? ]
no subject
Awoo.
[ The puppy says it was alone for that long before meeting up with Alfyn first. ]
no subject
Given the everything that's happened before, that must've been quite lonely. I'm glad you managed to reunite, but...
no subject
[ The puppy hopes you understand its hostility upon return. Loneliness is something it can't stave off by itself.
Hated by literally everyone in London, exiled himself into a forest where he stayed for longer than a month all by himself before meeting Alfyn... ]
no subject
I wouldn't blame you for being scared.

[ The puppy thanks you. ]
no subject
[ God please stop being a vampire corpse soon, you are all worrying him so much. Giving Pickles another gentle pet. ]
Anything else...? Or would you just like to rest a while?

The puppy missed you very much and is glad to see you again. ]
