NOTES:

Hey my dudes and duddettes, super important question.

What's the weirdest animal here that I can touch that won't like immediately try to kill me and does that include this zombie horse I just found in the stable.

Like super bad.

But I'm open to non-zombie horse petting options too, I guess.

[Skeptical noise.]

[windyvoice]

Dude, don't be rude to Jimothy.

[esquive]

Don't toy with spirits.

[windyvoice]

I'm not! I'm making friends with spirits. That's legal, right?

[esquive]

[Rifters.]

Has no one told you about the griffons?

[windyvoice]

Dude.

There's griffons?!

[esquive]

If you swear to only look at the possessed horse and not to touch it, I will introduce you to them.

[windyvoice]

[ The absolute betrayal. ]

Oh, that's low.

[libratus]

[ Suffering, ]

His name is Agapegenes.

[windyvoice]

[ Has he considered that he deserves it. ]

He's perfect and I love him.

[libratus]

[libratus]

As in, that is a form you can assume through shapeshifting?

[windyvoice]

Yeah?

I usually gotta touch something before I can turn into it, but I guess Gringolet is like my freebie.

[WHILE YOU'RE HERE, SPEAKER—]

Would it not be better placed in the Gallows, where it would be convenient to your study?

[libratus]

He is not for my study.

[esquive]

Then for Leander's, Speaker.

[libratus]

He is not for Leander's study either.

He is a wisp learning the shape of a horse. They are social creatures.

[esquive]

[That doesn't answer the driving What is it for question, but that seems an indelicate one. So instead, after a teetering moment he steers for—]

Some of the animals dislike it.

muffled, as though in the same room

[wythersake]

Aga — what?

[windyvoice]

Agatepennies.

Elvish for Jimothy.

[libratus]

Agapegenes, please.

[ This is worse than his Orlesian, surely. (It's not.)

At an angle from the crystal, ] Perhaps Agapetos, for short?

[wythersake]

Should I fetch a dictionary?

[ of nevarran. or dalish. ]

-> more muffled

[libratus]

[ Half-heartedly covering his crystal in front of the children-slash-judgy-adults, Maker, ]

Agape is like love or beloved-- but the feminine, you see. It needs something.

So, Agapegenes. You have this in Common, yes? Genesis. Its origin, where it comes from.

[ From love. :>? ]
