[text/video] un: linneus
Good day, everyone.
While I hate for my second of these... missives to be another message asking for help, I fear that is precisely what it is and I do beg your patience.
I recently came home to find a large egg sitting on my doorstep. With little idea what to do I brought it home, kept it swaddled and warm and eventually it hatched. The animal that emerged... I have never seen its like before. It appears to be a sort of horse, but much shorter, with a longer neck and a smaller face. And a good deal... fluffier? Than any horse I've ever seen.
She has taken well to eating grass, and has shown to particularly favour munching on my flowerbeds. It seems she is managing well enough - flourishing, even. But I had hoped someone might enlighten me as to what kind of creature she is, and whether there might be other foods I can provide for her?
Also a name - I confess I have always struggled terribly with naming things! So any suggestions would be quite welcomed.
[the text is followed up by a brief video clip - slightly wobbly, as Linneus turns the camera on himself-]
So that you have an idea of what it is you are naming...
[turning the camera around, the scene is quite cosy now that his home is settled again. A fire crackles away, and there is a small table near his armchair bearing a cup of tea, his feet resting on a small stool. The cosiness would be complete perhaps with a blanket, but his "creature", dozing with her head on his lap, is more than making up for the lack of one.
To those familiar, a llama indoors is probably a strange sight - stranger still this llama's size, as she can't be more than three feet tall. She snores, and there is the sound of Linneus chuckling softly before the video feed is cut.]
((Please feel free to flood Linn with name suggestions for the miniature llama he now has? ))

[it's still strange. With Linneus, it's different - if his family had had a surname he never learned it before he was sold to the Teahouse, and servants never had last names, either.
The compliment makes him smile - even blush a little.]
Thank you, that's kind of you to say. I'm not... knowledgeable by any means, but I'm trying to learn and I'd be happy to help.

Either way, the light blush looked good on Linneus. Gave the man a bit of colour to his pale skin. ]
Oh, you don't need to be so modest. You may not know much, but at least you know much more than I do!

[he had found Wyver of particular interest - not the domain so much as the terrain. There were forests outside of Ivore's central area, but nothing so wild as a jungle, and armed with a small, written guide and a sketchbook, had explored the plants there in fascination.]

[ Also, was the tiny creature seeking Linneus' attention there? She might be getting hungry. ]
Oh, I shouldn't take up any more of your time. I bid you good luck in naming her, and if I've any questions about plant life, I'll contact you.
It's been a pleasure knowing you, Linneus!
[ Wyver may be too humid for Reign, but if it meant he could gather certain plants as ingredients for his perfume, then so be it. ]

[a little smile at his device]
Please do. I will be sure to let you know once I have settled on a name!
