There's... a nug out here.

There are lots of nugs out here. Restless rustling in the bushes, foraging for food, tiny ones learning how to run and hide. This one's different.

She's wearing boots. They're bright, and red.

Someone must have made them. Nugs aren't born with boots.

She isn't lost. She doesn't know she's meant to be anywhere else. But someone might be missing her.

[colecomfort]

She's right here, with me.

[Someone hasn't quite grasped the whole 'long-distance communication' thing yet.]

[circleprodigy]

Yes, but where did you find her?

[There's panting on the other end, then a soft woof. Hello, Cole.]

[colecomfort]

In the foothills. She was nibbling at the brush. I saw the boots first.

[circleprodigy]

With flashy boots like that, I can see why. She must have been someone's pet, rather than the sort found in the wilds.

Will you care for her, then?

[colecomfort]

I might bring her back to Skyhold. She's very far from anywhere else.

[circleprodigy]

That sounds like it would be best for her. She could spend time with Sister Nightingale's nugs.

[colecomfort]

I hope they like her.

[circleprodigy]

Will you give her a name?

[colecomfort]

She isn't mine to name. She probably has one already... [To the nug:] Did someone name you?

...I don't think she can answer.

[circleprodigy]

They usually don't, no.

[She chuckles.]

But if she can't share a name, she ought to have a new one. I think she would entrust you with that.

[colecomfort]

I'd have to think of a very good one.

[circleprodigy]

If you want to test any ideas for that, this method seems ideal.

[colecomfort]

I could try asking what she'd like her name to be.

[circleprodigy]

I'd be interested in the reply.
