Voice: Ben.Solo

[havethestrength]

[There is barking, a lot of barking (alright, it's mostly tipping and it seemed kinda happy)]

I ... Does. Does anyone.

[His voice lowers, taking on a gentle tone.]

Get down, I'm trying to think.

[Then back to trying to address everyone again.]

Does anyone know how to, how to deal with a ...

[A picture of a rather adorable puppy is shown.]

A Pretzel? Puppy.

[ Okay, puppy is really cute. It's not Nymeria but...

Wait. ]

Pretzel? Is that what you named it?

[havethestrength]

Pretzel is the one I'm most familiar with. His name is Anakin.

[iknowdeath]

Do both names mean the same thing?

[ What even is a 'pretzel' anyway? ]

[havethestrength]

Pretzel is the name of Watt's dog. Anakin is my grandfather's name.

[iknowdeath]

It's a good name. Mine was named for a warrior queen. Her name was Nymeria.

You could try playing with yours. It wants your attention.

[Oh, what a delightful looking dog. So fluffy compared to Pretzel.]

I’m sure you’ve noticed, Ben, but uh... They don’t tend to mind that you’re trying to think when they want attention.

[How many trains of thought had Ben witnessed Pretzel derail?

Many.]

Do you want a little help? I know I was pretty confused when I got Pretzel.

[havethestrength]

Please.

[gadaboutdetective]

Certainly!

... So first thing first, you can get puppy food and other care items at the market. You’ve probably noticed that Pretzel gets his own food and treats.

[...When he’s not getting table scraps.]

I would get him a collar and leash while you’re still training, I found Pretzel prone to wandering off without one. The young are always rather curious, after all.

[havethestrength]

Is there a special stall at the market that I can get these things from? I think he'll need a larger collar than Pretzel.

[gadaboutdetective]

Yep, there is. I can always show you where it is, if you like?

[He glanced at Pretzel, yes by comparison he supposed Ben’s dog was going to be larger.]

Do you know what kind of dog? I found a book at the library on basset hounds; it was fascinated and informative on training and their traits. You might find something like that to be useful as well.

[blindpuppet]

Is it a pretzel or a puppy?

[She signs and then shakes her head.]

Either way, you're talking to Watts and he's spoiling his pup. You might want to try reading in the library. [Enis knows how to train animals but she's lazy. Unless the puppy is going to visit Rey at the mechanic shop, she isn't going to stick her nose into his business.]

[havethestrength]

We don't have these in my world.

Do you know If Rey is at the shop?

[blindpuppet]

It's a big building with a lot of books.

[He clearly needs to spend more time at the library.]

I'm not at the shop, so yes. She's there.

[havethestrength]

I meant the animal.

Do you think she would mind if I brought it to see her?

[blindpuppet]

No. She'll probably want to see it if she hasn't already.

[jondrette]

Oh, look at him! How handsome! I will have to kiss his furry face. What is his name?

[havethestrength]

Anakin. He's named after my grandfather.


Would you like to come meet him?

[jondrette]

A beautiful name.

I would!

[havethestrength]

We're at the dorm.

[jondrette]

Wonderful! I will be there!

[And lo and behold, Eponine indeed arrives in about fifteen minutes, a brown leather satchel flung over her shoulder. She smiles broadly at her friend.] Now, let us see this little fluff! Bonjour< Anakin! [She kneels to pet the puppy. Ben can get a hug later. Dogs are better than everything.]

[unpawnish]

[Rey just gasps softly, and is she on her way? Definitely.]

[havethestrength]

It's not a Wookie.

[Look, that was his instant thought too.]

Or related to one ... I don't think.

[unpawnish]

It's adorable. Maybe the Sphere thought you may want a Pretzel of your own.

[havethestrength]

It reminds me more of a Wookie or Ewok.

[unpawnish]

It does. It’s adorable.
