“Are they fluffy?” Jerica asked. She’d need to see one if so. Casually. Pretend she was too mature to find them cute. But absolutely find them adorable.

He glanced over at her again, expression unreadable. "Yes, quite."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
(I used to joke when people asked me how many I thought we’d make 17 but it’s becoming progressively less of a joke xD)
She didn’t care if he thought she was stupid. She was allowed to ask if they were fluffy. Still. Best not to push her luck. So she just nodded in response.

He turned his attention back to Derik once more. "In terms of livestock, though, we do have some more robust animals and their products. Sheep and yak, goats, cows of course, among other things. And we regularly breed hunting hounds."

“Would the hounds be able to be trained — easily — to root out southern wildlife?”

"I expect so; they have a natural instinct for rabbits or big game, depending on which breed you want. They've all got heavy coats, but I expect you could breed that out within a few generations."

"If you're in need of hunting dogs or even companions for your brother, I can show you a selection of my own hounds to give you an idea of their temperament and skill."

“Heh. My brother… isn’t an animal person.” At least not Levin. Derik smirked a little but dipped his head. “But I would love to see your hounds. We may have other uses for them.”

"Certainly. I'll have the hunting master select a few to show you." He pulled a sheet of paper from his drawer and made a couple notes with a charcoal pencil. "Will you want a hunt organized to show their skills or are you content with observing?"

“I wouldn’t mind watching a hunt, but I understand if that’s too much bother.”

"I can arrange one. There have been some...changes in the ecosystem recently, so we'll have to be careful about that."

Gaius hesitated, frowning to himself for a moment. "Ancient things are stirring," he said finally. "Trolls have begun walking the woods again."
