[ As audio is enabled, there’s a lot of background noise. There’s the high pitched barking of a dog, there’s a chorus of what sounds like baby chicks cheeping. And then there’s her, groaning at the fact that now the once quiet home she shared with Ezio sounded like a mini zoo. Where did this puppy come from? And why in the hell did she get a box of baby chicks?

Everything else she’d found waiting for her with her name on the boxes, all of that she could use. Clothes, candles, the booze and playing cards. But damn—a dog and baby chicks? ]

So it seems like this house for two is now a house for nine. I guess I can work with a puppy, he’s cute, but six baby chicks? On the plus side, at least they’re all getting along. Who knew small animals came in boxes; is this normal?

—no, no no. No jumping. [ Oh dear. She sighs to herself. ]

Before I venture out into the snow, any idea if the Inn has a leash handy? I’ll need to work out food as well.

[ Though she’d rather not leave the house or her newly welcomed animal companions. ]

[ private to ezio ]

Hope the noise isn’t too much for you. I also hope you’re not allergic to dogs.

[ private to desmond ]

I have something for you. Has your name written all over it. Come by any time. Or I’ll come to you, since it’s suddenly a zoo here.

i've got a leash for you and some recipes. it's pretty normal yeah.

[Why is it always dogs? Can't people get pet lizards?]

I don't think it does, but there is rope and stuff.

[ Oh. It's that hot dog guy that Desmond had mentioned. ]

That would be great, thank you. I take it you also have a pet? Huh, I wouldn't have thought it was normal to get baby chicks too.

Thanks. Someone offered to pass on a leash. I'm kind of looking forward to taking the little guy for walks.

[ Or turtles. ]

just about anything is normal here. you should see our flock.

[ that's a yeS. many many pets and livestock and... yes. it's yes. ]

come over i'll set you up with a starter kit. we're behind the inn near the school with the big 6 on the side. you'll see the critters outside.

Just keep it on the leash and don't let it go running off.

[How about hunting birds, guys? Anything that he isn't allergic to?]

It is alright. My brother's and sister used to make more noise.

I guess whoever's up there suddenly decided you needed to be the new Dr. Doolittle.

I just got back so sure, come on over whenever. I think I might still smell so let me clean up.

Please don’t say that. A dog I can handle. But knowing what to do with baby chicks? I’m a genetic memory researcher... not a farmer.

Sure. I’ll take my time heading over. I need to grab a leash on the way anyway.

The only difference here is that baby chicks grow into hens and the noise never stops.

Who knows what's in the trees around the village. Don't worry, he's in safe hands. Though I've always been a cat person. Blame it on my mother.

I will soon. I should be over in a few minutes, I just need to make sure the chicks are kept separate from the pup while I'm out. Or maybe I should bring him with me...

[ She has to head over to Desmond's after, she's not unsure if he'll want a puppy in his space. ]

yeah bring the pup he'll fit right in over here

[ SURPRISE. this is all just an elaborate ruse so frank can meet a puppy (again.) ]

i can always watch him if you need to go somewhere after

[ Sneaky SNEAKY. ]

He'll enjoy getting out of the house I'm sure. Alright, I'll bring him. Give me five minutes? :)

take your time [ juST BRING HIM DOGS ]

I won't blame it on anyone. Cats are better.

Hunting hawks are better still. Absolute truth and I'm sticking to it.

( puppy time with the punisher )

I never had a desire for raising a dog. Cats though, those guys just did their own thing.

I'm sure they're good for their own reasons. I never had a use for hawks. I do remember some people I used to work with, they owned some.

I like that about cats, but I never got the appeal of dogs. Probably because I like breathing. And not crying.

Hawks are great for hunting. They're used a bit on Hyne, great for small game that has learned a lot about hiding from things human sized and bigger.

There's chickens around here, someone must know how to deal with them. I feel like they'll be easier than a dog anyway.

Okay, cool. [He sounds a little uncertain, since they've taken some space, but also pleased.]

So did my sister.

Look, that's different. That's family noise. That never ends.

I guess it's settled then. I'll be setting up a chicken coop in the back yard or something.

Okay. Good. [ Uncertainty on his part. Awkwardness on hers. This should go over well.</small. ]

Will this?

Give it another few months and then I can move them outside. But I mean there's plenty of houses around that are still empty if you feel the need to move because of the noise.

What are we going to name them?

[Aka you're not getting rid of him that easily, Lucy. Sorry.]

I haven't really decided yet. They're just here going 'cheep cheep'.

If you would not mind, I have some suggestions.

Ah. You're allergic then?

Hawks are definitely great for hunting. They were also used as messenger birds centuries ago.

And what are these suggestions?

Dreadfully.

Messengers? Yeah, on my world too. They're really great at avoiding monsters on my world, so they've survived.

That's unfortunate.

They're pretty smart birds. Good survivalists.

And quick enough to avoid predatory Chimeras and the like.
