What's new
- Acnologia looked at the small animal, he was confused. Sheridon, who was right by his side was fascinated at the said animal. Both were stunned silent with different expressions.
"The last I saw them, they didn't look like this..." Acnologia murmured.
"What is this, some sort of wolf?" Sheridon asked.
They were observing Lumos, a Baltic Husky that was staying over at the stables for a few days. The problem is, both haven't exactly seen one before. Acnologia lived for hundreds of years, he knows of dogs but ever since he went into hiding, he's never seen one already. So seeing one know, hundreds of years later is really something. He didn't know dogs would evolve so fast and come in such a colour and form. Sheridon, on the other hand, lived his entire life in the wild, far away from human contact and civilisation. He's unaware of such an animal. The closest animal he knows that looks like Lumos is a wolf.
"They're dogs. They're the descendants of wolves that have been domesticated." Acnologia explained.
"Ah. That would explain why it looks like a wolf. How intriguing! It's so unique." Sheridon remarked.
The Baltic husky went around the stables, exploring and sniffing at things.
"Looks like he had a sharp nose too." Sheridon said, observing the Baltic husky starting to dig a hole in the ground.
"I would presume so." Acnologia said, watching Lumos pick up a bone from the hole which he probably hid in his previous visit.
"You know, instead of observing, you could play with him." Veneno said as he walked past.
They looked around for a toy that they could play with.
"Would this work?" Sheridon asked, rolling a large ball towards Acnologia.
"Probably not. It's a ball for foals. Lumos is smaller." He said.
Acnologia glanced around and saw a stick which he went to pick up. Sheridon noticed and decided to draw Lumos's attention. He neighed at Lumos and the dog turned around, eyeing the stick in Acnologia's mouth. He bounded towards the two. Acnologia threw the stick into the air, landing a distance from them. Lumos ran over and pick up the stick before returning towards the two and placing the stick at their feet. Sheridon tried it and got the same results. They found it extremely entertaining, watching the dog running after a stick. They started experimenting, trying with different items other than a stick. Sheridon found a rubber ball and tennis ball while Acnologia found some rubber toys and even a spoon. Lumos would fetch anything that could fit into his mouth, even an old thrown-out tee. Acnologia and Sheridon had a ball laughing at Lumos carrying the shirt.
They continued to play with Lumos until sundown, where the dog was starting to get exhausted. In the end, Lumos fell asleep under a tree.
"Looks like he's all out of gas." Sheridon laughed.
"Yeah." The Kirin smirked.
They grazed under the tree where Lumos was napping, reflecting on the day's events.
