I'm Not Gonna Sugarcoat It

Lyric simply and calmly stared him down when he told her she couldn’t be serious. She didn’t even blink, she just waited for Tiberius to come around to her way of seeing things. When he brought up the food she shrugged. I’m sure there’s something the dog will eat, contrary to popular beliefs dogs are actually omnivores. I had a dog as a kid that used to LOVE apple slices. Gobbled them right up. Probably the happiest memory she had from her childhood, that dog, but then she was sent to the Circle in the Free Marches and never knew what happened to the dog.

Lyric beamed a bit as Tiberius stepped in to help, in her mind it was a true measure of a person with how they treated lesser animals. This was more telling of who Tiberius really was more than anything else that had transpired since they had met, and she took it as a good sign. She tipped her head as Tiberius made the observation about the dog being a girl.

Oh goodness, I had a dog as a kid named Bleu, but I don’t know if that fits. Coral or River perhaps, but I don’t know. OH, maybe Nadia, it means hopeful overcomer. I feel like she’s probably had to overcome a lot since becoming lost from her family. Lyric loved when things all worked out in the end. Not only were they saving an animal in need, but it was showing Lyric that perhaps things would work out in the end with Tiberius, he clearly had a soft spot if he was willing to indulge Lyric with keeping the dog. Maybe he wasn’t just another useless noble asshole like her parents were.

Then Lyric realised, she hadn’t actually stopped to figure out why the horses had stopped to begin with, so once they got back to the carriage, she looked in front. The dog seemed happy to follow them, clearly not wanting to be all on its own out in the blighted wild any more. She frowned at the log, and then raised her staff, simple levitation spell she figured, took no time to move the log.
