"Okaaaaayy." Sierra experimentally reached her hand out once more. This time the dog nuzzled into her touch. Sierra's eyes widened at the unexpected contact and slowly began stroking the dog's head. A small smile teased at the corners of her lips at the touch. "It's soft," She muttered, giving Cerberus a scratch on the neck. "Its name's Cerberus?"
Uktakt gently removed Sierra's hand from the dog. "Don't do that, you'll end up sick and foaming at the mouth by the time the day has ended." he scowled. "I don't know what kind of wolf this is, but I do know the dangers it possesses."
"It doesn't have rabies…" Sierra muttered, putting her hand right back on the dog's head and giving Cerberus a good scratch. "It's cute and fluffy. We don't have a lot of cute and fluffy where we come from. And no- dad, Edara doesn't count."
Cerberus's tail wagged and he leaned into the pets until they stopped, "Yes, that's his–" Sophie stopped when Uktakt removed Sierra's hand. "He's not dangerous and he's not carrying any diseases, if that's what you're worrying about," she assured the demon. "And he's not really a wolf, either–he's a dog." Her eyes widened a little as something clicked. "Uktakt–if I can call you that, the full title's, uh, long–when was the last time you visited the mortal realm?" Please, any gods that are out there, tell me he's just confused about the era… this is way too much to explain…
"Oh, I don't know, yesterday? Or wait, I built my children long before that… oh, I don't know, between ten years and two thousand?" he said. "Nothing could have changed that quickly without my knowing."
(Just a lil beep to make sure this doesn't die aha. Pitch is still sleeping ^^;)
(Actually, I think I might have to drop this for a bit. Probably should have done so earlier, but I don't think I'm in the right headspace for a whole lot on my plate rn. I'll probably come back to it once I'm feeling better about things, but for now I feel like it's mostly a lot of stress? I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with worthwhile responses and it's just Not sparking joy right now. Really sorry…)
(Hey, don't worry bout it Cloudy! You're all good! :D Hope things get better.)
(I'm bumping this just so it doesn't disappear, people can reply as they are able.)
