Alright, new pop quiz. When you think of home, what do you think of?

[ Open question, which he's not going to expand on unless prompted -- though really he's curious about something specific. Do people consider Olympia or Wyver their home now? Maybe the Natha station? Or do they think of home worlds they've been told no longer exist? ]

Just a moment...

[he needs the time to switch over to video, turning the camera to the llama at his side. She is certainly small - perhaps a little over three feet - and he reaches out to ruffle her neck gently, a warm chuckle as she makes a little hum]

Well, this is Lula. She likes to stay close...

Weirdly improbable...

[that amuses him, as he scritches Lula's neck lightly - she leans into it, from where she is kushed by the chair.]

I think that is fair.

[ Shyly - a little ashamed by his own lack of knowledge-]

I had never encountered a llama before - when she hatched I wondered whether she might be some... strange sort of horse, or sheep. Though I knew they didn't come from eggs, of course...

It just... sort of showed up on my doorstep. It didn't seem fair to leave it outside in the winter...

[he knows it was probably a stupid idea to take in a random egg and hatch it. But he can't really argue with the result...]

[a soft tinkle of laughter at that]

Well, that seems apt. I have always enjoyed fairytales.

Do you think there might be fairytales with llamas? In some places?

Oh, I'm no author - heavens!

[he was never really meant to learn to write in the first place - servants don't necessarily need to know, or to have their time wasted with the instruction.]

I'm not sure anyone would wish a story penned by me. Least of all Lula - I can only imagine I'd be doing her a terrible disservice if I tried...!

Mmm, I'm not sure. She understands too much.

[or maybe Linneus is just projecting...? But she can manage commands!]

[another soft chuckle]

I'm sure she'd listen - she seems to know, when someone needs to be listened to. But she only really understands simple commands...
