video ♚ so take another breath

[wolfskin]

[ the feed flicks on to show (1) one king and the head of (1) one direwolf looking over his shoulder. the wolf snorts at the device, lips curling to bare sharp white teeth. he was no love for the tablet it seems. ]

Greetings Exsilium, I have a query for you.

[ his words are a touch uncertain. ]

I know it is not queer for men to disappear and then return, it happens often enough to be considered normal on this island. When they disappear they either return with no knowledge of Exsilium or they return changed; older, wiser than they were before.

Has any ever returned unchanged? [ he understands the reason behind his disappearance, though is by no means pleased, yet he feels unchanged and it bothers him. mayhaps it is nothing and he worries for naught, mayhaps. either way it will not hurt to at least ask. ]

You can come back with your memories?

(Video)

[wolfskin]

Apparently so.

(Video)

[braavado]

That's just great. What do they even do, randomly decide who gets to remember and who doesn't?

What is their deal?

(Video)

[wolfskin]

I do not believe they choose as you say, their machine seems to be as much a mystery to them as it is to us. [ that is how it appears, at least. ]

(Video)

[braavado]

You know what I think? They should've just left the machine alone if they didn't know how to use it!

[Suddenly, she deflates.]

Sorry. It's not you I should be getting mad at.

[wolfskin]

[ he would be rise to anger, but what good would it do? ]

You needn't apologize, I understand your anger.

(Video)

[braavado]

I don't think I'm going to be much help. I'm just as lost as you are.

[Now that her irritation's mostly receded, Korra notices the direwolf in the background...

And visibly cheers up. Probably not the reaction Robb usually gets for Grey Wind.]

Oh hey! I take it that one's yours?

(Video)

[wolfskin]

You have my thanks regardless.

[ subjected effectively changed he looks to grey wind. ]

Aye, he is mine.

(Video)

[braavado]

He's one of the coolest things I've seen here! What is e? A bearwolf? An armadillo wolf?

(Video)

[wolfskin]

[ he bites back a laugh. the names of those creatures are quite queer, korra. ]

He is a direwolf.

(video)

[braavado]

[Shhh no they're perfectly normal. It's the animals elsewhere that are weird!]

A direwolf...never heard of them. Can I see him? I have a polar bear dog back home, but she's not with me.

(video)

[wolfskin]

[ no they are really weird!!! he is questioning your sanity!!1 only not really. ]

A polar bear dog? [ the confusion on robb's face is unmistakable. what even??? ] You must know he is not tame.

[braavado]

Yep, we have them in the north and south poles.

[She gestures at the screen.]

Oh but he's keeping close to you. That means he trusts you, right?

[wolfskin]

They must be a sight to see.

[ a nod. ]

Aye, I raised him since he was a pup. He may not be tame in the same way a wolfhound is, but he listens to me all the same.
