"I'm sure the Baron knows the best dogs." Sulky.

"Look. I lived in a fucking trailer on a rez, and then, when we tried to get away from my dad- a psycho abuser... mom.. my first mom, lived in a car ... then when he killed her, I lived..anywhere I could. I know how hard shit can get and you annd your mom got NOTHING to be ashamed of. She cares for you. She rocks... but you have the hold to go to. A second spot.. and it can handle a dog you like. I'm not trying to rub your face in it. I just thought you liked Muppet hangig around even if he IS snnortingg never dust"

"He... your mom?" Her eyes go wide. "*&^%^$&..."

"Yeah, I never told you did I?" A wince "Yeah."

"F%$#."

"Yeah, mother was Iraquois, dad was Oklahoma Cherokee. They thought it was true love, moved to the Rez in OK. Had me.. and.. I can tell you, it wasn't a hapy ever after. "

"Clearly."

"Best thing ever happened to me was dream dancing through a trod and ending up in this area. It lead to my true self, a new home, and a new mom. Great spirit was looking after me I guess"

"Marigold is pretty great, but still."

"I'd been a runaway for a while.. my mom dead for awhile... alone for.. god, felt like forever" A look at her "So if I hadn't seen the Baronn's manorr hold.. you annd your mom's place? THAT is a homeless ggirl's dream and righly so"

A scowl, ashamed.

"Yeah."

"I guess i Hadn't realized that to you I probably came by as a clueless rich idiot or something. Sorry"

"No. Just... just, I didn't know. I don't know what to say."

"You already said it" She says "F%$#... and it fits. Look, I'm not mentioning muppet to rub the no dog policy of your complex in your face, or make you feel bad. I just thought that when you walked onto Silverwolf, you kinnd of liked having him around being a bit of a goof and hanging out in the Kiln room with you. He seems to make you smile sometime, annd as a girl who sometimes hugs her own dog after a good cry, I can tell you, that's not nothing"

"I mean.. I don't need a dog. I'm not some sap."

"But, like... I'm used to him, I guess."

"Mmmph." At the sap comment "Well, if you're more ..used to him than the other glennies, that's a plus in his favor . If he was too big a hassle it would be different but sounds like you've got him in line"

"The Nevers like him."

"Heck, considering how much the nevers hang around, that's almost a job requirement. Ivan swatted one witth a tail the other day"

"The little orange one tried to yank on his tail so I'm not feeling too sorry for which ever one that was"

"Oh - Cadmium? She's naughty."

"Ah, so that's her name" a nod "Well, Ivan launched her had first into a snow bank. Kind of funy, little orange ass up in the drift. Blinky got himself stick ad a marrshmellow as if her butt was a campfire"

"No. It's... no. Cadmium's orangey-red. Alizarin is more crimson."

"And Ochre could maybe be considered orange, but that one would never tug on a tail."

"Well, not Ochre... "

"Ochre's more, y'know, warm gold."

"Citron is YELLOW."

"So you can tell them apart."

"Okay... I think, no, I KNOW you have bettter color senses than I do. Probably why your hair rocks"

"No, really, it's a pretty big difference."

"Emerald and Kelly are harder."

"Is Emerald the one who makes chimes to the old Batman tune 'da da dadah'? while she tries to act like a gargoyle, but then she amuses herself ttoo much and falls off her perk laughing? Or is that kelly ? Or someonne else?"

Snort-grin. "Kelly."

"Okay, SHE's funny.. a bit damaged in the brain but.. funny"

"They're all idiots." Fond.

"Each in ttheir own special way though. None of the others think they're Batman"

"True."

"Oh, Blossom's been told to keep the hawks from hunting Nevers since you have that idea for using them as anti sprigan alarms"

"Well, not them, exactly. It would be easier, I guess, to use them as kind of batteries..."

"But that's..." Nose-wrinkle.

"A bit..rude." A nod "Also... the world needs the little dreams too, even if they are derpy"

"Yeah. And, like - what's more magic than fairies?"

"Fae hounds" She says without missinng a beat "But I'm biased"

"If they had wings, maybe."

"mm y know, there's a Fae horse with wings.. maybe there's a fae HOUND with wings"

"Big, rainbow butterfly ones..."

"I was thinking awesome thunderbird types" A smile thouh

"Yeah, but Muppet is only, like, this big." She holds her hands apart.

A laugh "Oh okay yeah, he'd be a hoot with wings. Probably do that weird sit in midfflight annd end up accidentally loop de looping"
