(The small Earl sits, perched on a stone bench, before a pool that is reflecting the stars like a mirror. It's difficult to not be transfixed by such a sight.)

I have never seen them so clearly. I did not think the sight from my manor dampened by unnecessary interference, but now I am proven wrong.

(He is quiet, letting his watchers soak in the beauty.)

Does anyone know where I might acquire a guard-dog? They needn't be fully trained, I suppose.

(If only Sebastian were here to train them! Actually if the demon was here, he wouldn't need one.)

I don't know, but animals do exist in some temples. (His isn't one of them, unfortunately.) I doubt we can interfere with the living like that.

Ah...I guess that is true, isn't it.

[She knows she's dead without any doubt. But sometimes it's difficult to think of herself as any different from the people back at the Near Shore. And animals so often notice them.]

You're worried about your temple's safety, then? It was pretty scary the other day when those cat ayakashi attacked. A dog would have been perfect for the situation!

(He doesn't consider himself dead, but since they are in heaven, it's an easier role to play. Or maybe it fits with his view of life and death better. Either way, he is a god(dess) and the humans below are living...for the time being.)

I would feel safer with an alert in place. The ayakashi come in many forms and a dog's senses are sharper than mine.

[Hmm...]

I only just arrived, so I'm not sure where to check just yet. But I can help you search.

[Would that make a dog in this place a shinki like them...? Just... an animal version.]

I've seen other animals here. Like goats. So dogs must be as well.

[cieled]

Then I welcome you. Are you a god or a shinki? (Not that it really matters. Both come with a host of complications.)

I had hoped. I have the time to train one if it is well-behaved enough to begin with. I don't wish to be knocked about.
