-=Guess who pops up on the PCDs in the pre-dawn light! He's dirty with what looks like reddish-brown mud, still mostly naked, and looks positively exhausted. There are fresh, thin, red lines down the insides of his forearms, but they look more like red marker lines than what they really were. Hawke's lockjaw has become a beast of burden and is hauling not only Hawke's gear, but some animals that have been hunted.=-

-=Hawke speaks something in his own language, not caring that the musical lilt won't be understood by people here. And then a moment later he gives a loose translation.=-

I am home. I have brought meat, but I do not have the strength to finish preparing it. And I would need a bath, first.

It looks like an Eel-hound! [Yes! She's excited about this.] Well, almost. Is he friendly?

-=Well. This was definitely unexpected. He smiles, holding his hand out for the lockjaw to sniff before the animal goes to snuffle Suki to death.=-

[Darkling] is kind to those who are kind to him. Growling is good. Teeth clicking is bad.

[fanismighter]

Alright. [Suki smiles, happy that she's pretty good with animals.]

Hi. I'm Suki. It's very nice to meet you. [She sticks out a hand for him to sniff, cause that's what you're supposed to do.]

-=The lockjaw keeps snuffing about and nudges her hands.=-

His claws are very sharp, but he has been learning not to scratch.

[fanismighter]

He seems very sweet. How old is he?

offline;

[golden_hawke]

I do not know more than he is fully grown. The Animus brought him here last turn.

offline;

[fanismighter]

Well, he's very sweet, and he seems very happy.

offline;

[golden_hawke]

Yes. I am very glad. These animals are known only to Kirin. I was fearful that he would not adapt here.

-=And like a dog, once the lockjaw has finished his sniffing inspection, he flops down and then yawns again, content to snooze by them.=-

[fanismighter]

Well, he seems fine. [Suki laughed at how adorable it was.] And I'm sure he adores you.

[golden_hawke]

He is a good friend. And I love him as he does me. -=He pats the lizard's shoulder, grinning when he growled with a low vibration.=-

[fanismighter]

It really shows.

[She looks back up at Hawke.] But I brought you something to eat.

offline;

[golden_hawke]

-=Food. That word hits him and his stomach growls loudly=-

You are too kind.

offline;

[fanismighter]

You're a friend. It's the least I can do.

[golden_hawke]

What food have you brought? -=Normally he wouldn't be so forward, but he was starving from his training and would be like that over the next few days.=-

offline;

[fanismighter]

Just some sandwiches, and of course, apples. [She grins.] I hope that's alright.

[golden_hawke]

-=It's edible, that's all that matters=-

It is fine. Thank you.

offline;

[fanismighter]

Just eat as much as you want. Hopefully I brought enough.

[golden_hawke]

-=He bows his head deeply at her and moves to pick out a sandwich, splitting it in half to offer some to her.=-

offline;

[fanismighter]

No! This is for you. Don't worry about me.

offline;

[golden_hawke]

-=Unable to wait any longer, he starts inhaling the sandwich like no tomorrow.=-

offline;

[fanismighter]

Don't get sick!

offline;

[golden_hawke]

-=He just nods to her, still chewing. No one here has seen how he can put away food.=-

offline;

[fanismighter]

Do I need to get more?

offline;

[golden_hawke]

-=Yep, it's all polished off.=-

No, thank you. This is fine. -=He'll just lean back and relax with that load of food.=- I have food here as well, Suki.

[fanismighter]

I didn't realize how hungry you were.
