" Hmmmm. Are you sweet like one? " was the wolf being serious. He didn't give that away when he asked.

may move Lupin to multi as an exception to it being strictly a HH HB multi blog

The wolf immediately went quiet and gulped the moment this stranger's voice changed into a pitch that irritated Lupin’s ears. " Um yeah ok.. I'm sorry. I'm just worried about my friend. He's not use to being outside Versailles for long. " a heavy sigh of unease Lupin didn't know if he could trust him.

" Why would you help me? Nothing is free I know that. " eyeing those strange creatures the other willed into form. Lupin wasn't sure about such help would be wise to accept. " I'm not saying yes. But what are you wanting in return for helping? "

His static rises in volume as the sharp, high-pitch sound of feedback shrieks from his person. "If you want to stay not dead, I suggest you w̷a̸t̴c̸h̴ ̵y̷o̶u̸r̶ ̴m̶o̵u̵t̶h̴"

It was evident this creature didn't know to whom he was speaking with; he's new to this world, and for that, Alastor will grant some amount of grace... but he will only be talked down to by a dog once.

With his warning delivered, his static calms and his smile relaxes. "It's a bit crowded down here. I'm afraid finding one other creature is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack-- unless you know what you're looking for."

The shadow Alastor casts against the wall morphs, breaking apart and taking the form of several ink-like creatures.

"I have eyes everywhere. Perhaps I can be of some assistance~"

Do you have any memories of your early puphood?

Unprompted; anon

" No, not really. I remember the scent of my mother, though. Pine trees and rain are how I remember her smelling. "

[valiantwulf]

Has Belfort ever offered you some fancy food that didn’t agree with you?

Unprompted; anon

" Yes, one time he had me try something called Mousse. Didn't agree with my stomach at all. I'm never trying it again. "

@plasticsouled ; “ ooh, what’s in here? can i look? ” // from Brightbill!

" Oh, nothing much, just some biscuts I stole from the palace kitchens. Don't tell anyone, and I'll let you have one. "

[valiantwulf]

" What is the point of all the parties in the palace? "

[valiantwulf]

How did you first meet Arianne?

unprompted ; anon ; always accepting

" The cat? If I remember correctly, I met her first when Belfort began sneaking me into the palace, trying to convince me all humans aren't bad when we were pups still. " Thinking on the rest given he didn't much care for the feline.

Lupin scratched at his ears before fully remembering and rolling his eyes over incident. " We went into the royal library so Belfort could show me a book on his master the king. Before I knew it, books started falling on me from the shelves, and I looked to see a pompous kitten who thought i wouldn't try to eat her. "

Letting out a yawn given the late hour, the wolf decided to wrap it up fast. " She thought wrong. Luckily, Belfort was there, and now me and the fur ball are friends to this day. More or less. "

I'll get to stuff here soon. Muse is focused on Husk and Striker rn. 👀

" I don't want anyone going that way. This place is impossible to navigate this time of day. " he knew she couldn't understand him. But he understood her well enough to see she was new to this area. " You'll get even more lost than me, and Belfort did going that way."

A small growl in response when she reached out a hand. Lupin didn't care much for humans, especially the ones who lived in the palace. But by the scent of her, he knew she wasn't a palace resident or one of its staff. He kept his guard up nevertheless.

SHE KNEELS DOWN TO EYE-LEVEL with the concerned canyne. Mari could sense its lingering worry, but unfortunately, psychic empathy can only go so far. Sometimes, she really did wish she could just talk to the animal in question. "What's wrong, bud?" She asks gently. He seemed to be barricading the path ahead. "Don't want me goin' down that way, huh?"

Yeah, this place was a labyrinth alright. She had already started to feel lost. Mari reaches out with one hand, inviting the canyne to investigate if he so desired. "Do you know where the way out is?"

[valiantwulf]

" You ever have your ears talked off so much you just wanted to rip them off? Cause that's what it's like talking to Chevalier. There's never been a more annoying bird in Versailles. "

[valiantwulf]

" No, I'm not one of those Sinners as you call them. I'm not human. I'm a wolf. " Lupin let out a long sigh and an annoyed growl escaped his lungs next. " And no I'm not freshly dead. I'm alive. Though a much of little red things with horns did try to chase me down and I'm assuming kill me. What are they? "

Looking this hound over, Loona could tell he wasn’t a typical one if one at all, yet that didn’t help whatsoever. “That really sucks, dude,” is her nonchalant answer, blunt and unhelpful before she let out a long sigh. “I’ve never heard of this Palace of whatever. It sounds like you went on a trip. You sure you’re not a Sinner who just freshly died?”

That was her first thought since they came in all kinds of visual appearances. There was not much she could test or tell beyond that, but it was a start.

[valiantwulf]

" I want some of those biscotti. But Belfort said the kitchens are off limits right now. "

[valiantwulf]

" Grrrrr." He's not having a good day. Is anyone brave enough to pet him?

[valiantwulf]

I'll be on later today. I'm going to a birthday party for most today. Going to tackle drafts between @gamblinkat and @contractfee later when I'm back.

[valiantwulf]

Ship bingo! I couldn't find any that fit my preferences so I made my own. Feel free to reblog/repost!
