[No video this time. Perhaps that is a message in and of itself from the charismatic member of the council. But his voice carries enough weight as it is. Melancholy and... pensive. Like something is missing.]
This time of the year isn't what it should be. I do not know how to put it, not truly.
In London, my London, we'd be preparing the most fabulous balls. A series of them, using all the ballrooms. One for the nobility and wealthy. One open for the people to see the palace and meet their King and Queen. Another for the sheer joy and celebration for the palace staff. They would be under the stars, and wine would flow and there would be ice sculptures such as only the greatest water mages could make.
[Wistful. Yes, that's what he is. He misses those better days. Misses when his days were simpler, and his responsibilities were light, or non-existent.]
But that is not to be I suppose.
So perhaps I need to think less upon those festivities I shall miss and learn more of what others would have. Tell me, how did your people bring in a new year?

[He was strong, after all.]

[Those darn basset hound eyes.]
But! It’s either tell him or commit to building the muscle to continue to carry him around, love.

[Sad eyes were something he couldn't handle. He'd have to do his best.]

Practice, as they say, makes perfect!
[Llewellyn giggled softly, just imagining Rhy trying to be firm with Pretzel. It was cute, okay?]
You’ll have plenty of practice now though, and I find positive reinforcement is the key to getting him to listen.

[Rhy had never had a pet before, he doesn't know what to do with them.]
Positive reinforcement. Like petting?
no subject
The question gets a little smile and a nod.]
Yes, precisely. Every time he listens or does something well, giving him affection and approval is very good for helping him understand. Food works too, in fact I find treats work best... Which, I um— suppose does make a lot of sense. Food is always a good motivation in my experience.

[After all, the pup was already going to get pretty heavy... Probably best to make sure they managed it properly for his health, right?]
Maybe next time I go to the market for his food you’d like to join me and we can do a thorough search for more healthy treats?

[Not that he’d taken a close look at them, given he was quite bad in the kitchen based on his past attempts. Rhy probably remembered the odd times he’d return to the dorm when he lived there. The smell of smoke and the sounds of a panicked detective heard escaping the kitchen on more than one occasion.]
