Snips and snails and puppy dog tails
Who: Ioder, two puppies, and YOU!
Where: Around Vatheon
When: Current day
Style: Action
Status: OPEN!
[Things have been a bit hectic at the Vesperia home lately. Not in any busy way, just in all the changes that have occurred lately, and have kept Ioder from focusing on much aside from home and work. But it's finally starting to settle back in to something resembling normalcy, even if it probably isn't ever going to be as "normal" as it was when Yuri or even Estelle and Rita were around.
But today Ioder is out of the house and work, and at his heels as he walks around Vatheon are the two golden retriever puppies he adopted some time ago. They're growing up fast, but surprisingly well trained. He doesn't even have them on leashes as they follow him obediently, stopping when he stops and being friendly with everyone that stops to say hello.]

After watching for a bit, he'll say something to Ioder.]
They're pretty well-trained.
no subject
[Having stopped at a stall outside a shop, Ioder was preoccupied, but the voice does get his attention as the young emperor looks up curiously.]
Oh, yes! My partner is very good with animals - he helped me train them.
[Smiling brightly, he crouches down and gives them both pets, rubbing their ears as they happily pant.]
They were very rambunctious when I brought them home, but they're growing up to be quite well behaved.
no subject
[He's not even sure how someone would get pets down here, except by that one elevator to the island.]
no subject
[One of them gives a yip, and licks Ioder on the face, making him laugh.]
We try to take them up to the island as often as possible, though.
no subject
[Ioder seems like the kind of person animals would flock too anyway.]
Oh yeah, we haven't met yet, have we? My name is Shiro Fujimoto.
no subject
Oh, yes. I'm Ioder Algios Heurassien.
[Try saying that five times fast.
Ioder stands and offers a hand for Shiro.]
Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Fujimoto.
no subject
He's reaching out to take Ioder's hand and shake it, too.]
Likewise.
no subject
Have you been here long?
no subject
no subject
[There was a quiet laugh from Ioder as he added:]
I kind of feel like I've gotten too used to this place, when it feels like I've been here forever.
no subject
no subject
Especially since it's so easy to fall in to a very... domestic way of life.
no subject
[He was totally guessing fifteen, based on Ioder's looks.]
no subject
... yes. Is there a problem?
no subject
no subject
[Ioder smiles brightly, not taking any offense to the assumption.]
I suppose you'd be just as surprised if I told you I'm an emperor.
no subject
[Translation: Yes. Shiro is surprised.]
no subject
[Timey whimey stuff. Always fun.]
If it's any consolation, it's rare in Ilyccia for anyone to be appointed as young as I was, but the previous emperor died unexpectedly and there was a ten year period where the council was mostly in charge along with the Commandant of the Royal Knights before I was even old enough to be considered.
no subject
For several moments, Cheria couldn't help but to stare at the little epitomes of cuteness. ]
no subject
The puppies follow along side him as obedient as ever, and his path brings him right by Cheria.]
no subject
Excuse me ... May I pet your dogs?
no subject
[Ioder stops and turns around, and doing so gets the attention of his pets. The slightly bigger of the two lets out a yip, nudging his nose at Ioder's hand.]
Oh, yes, of course. They're friendly, so they won't bite or be afraid of you.
no subject
and the mental note that his voice sounded oddly familiar ..., Cheria knelt down and slowly extended a hand to the puppies. ]no subject
You hear nothing /waves hands/Ioder gives them a gentle order to sit, which they both obey, looking expectantly at Cheria with big, excited eyes. The slightly larger of the two inches closer to the hand, sniffing at it curiously before letting out a happy yip, shoving his head against it - a forceful demand for pets.]
It seems they like you!
no subject
NONSENSE. NONE SHALL EVER DENY THE VOICE OF BRYCE PAPENBROOK.Cheria smiles as the puppy demands attention, and she gladly gives it to him with a small laugh. ]
I'm glad they do! They're so sweet ...
[ She reaches out her other hand for the other one to sniff. ]
no subject
They're siblings from the same litter. That's Ico, and the girl is Iona.
[Cheria might very well recognize that first name.]
no subject
Ico ... I once knew a boy named Ico.
no subject
[Ioder seems oddly distant for a moment. He had wondered if the names had significance to Dhaos, but even if they were dating now he wasn't exactly comfortable asking.]
I think some one I know might have known him as well, then...
no subject
[ She sighs, then smiles again, continuing to pet the puppies. ]
He was a sweet boy. I hope he's doing all right now, even back home.
[ She'll admit she's worried. ]
no subject
[And of course now he's curious.]
no subject
[ Fond smiles everywhere here. She really misses Ico ... There are a lot of people she really misses. ]
no subject
Certainly sounds like some one Dhaos would be attached to.
[Which meant he was pretty sad when Ico left, but Ioder has a feeling he wasn't around for that, or at least as present in Dhaos' life.
Still... the naming of the puppy makes more sense now.]
