terror never frees us of that choice
if anything it only necessitates it more regularly

what i mean is are these threats that are specific to your home circumstances or have they bled into this world

[lyingheart]

Ah... a little of both.

[glowsferatu]

annie
that answer is far too short for the meaning it implies

[lyingheart]

Lunatic is the only problem with teeth here. Levi is restrained by the social order present. He growls, but he's on leash, for as long as I'm not at odds with the military.

[glowsferatu]

toothless or not both sound like cases to be watched
even when leashed a dog needs to be taught to behave

[lyingheart]

I like dogs. Please don't equate Levi to one. I was more thinking of him as a... badger. A small one. Or a wolverine. They growl too, you know.

[ levi the honey badger is excellent talk can they stop talking about dangers here because really she's just. not feeling it. ]

[glowsferatu]

i do too
but leashes i think invited the equation
there is still such a thing as a badly mannered dog

[ kanaya is one hufflepuff who would not let levi into her house, he doesn't deserve badgers. ]

[lyingheart]

They keep strange things on leashes here. Like toddlers.

[ not even pretending she's not going to just stay entirely off track now. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ it might just work, get a pedant talking semantics and she can keep going indefinitely. ]

yes but ive always considered those cases aberrant and nonstandard
a leash without additional qualification still implies a dog by default
ive certainly never seen a wolverine kept on a leash

[lyingheart]

[ kanya WHY THIS ]

I've only seen horses on leashes - or leads - where I'm from. Dogs are new. Wolverines seem as likely. Toddlers? I see those all the time in Nonah. It's an interesting system. I can think of a few uses for it with people back home.

[ mikasa and eren, where-in annie would poke at mikasa for it forever, but still. it'd be passingly amusing for a little while. ]

[glowsferatu]

i wouldnt describe reigns as leashes
and one very large difference between dogs and wolverines is domestication
leash a wolverine and its as likely to turn on you as anything else

[glowsferatu]

and i suppose i dont make a habit of associating myself with toddlers

[lyingheart]

Do you ever take the cats out on walks? People do that here, too. Leashes and harnesses and everything. Probably more relevant to you than toddlers are.

Anyway, it's leads that I was discussing, not reigns. They're two different things, and leads work much more like leashes.

[glowsferatu]

well i guess i dont often associate with horses either
they remind me of sweat

and no
to walk a cat on a leash is to court disaster
i imagine a wolverine would be even worse

[lyingheart]

Used to riding hard?

The wolverine is a disaster before leashes get involved, so yes, probably.

[glowsferatu]

im not used to riding at all
but i knew someone who was fond of them
i wouldnt put "hard" past his preference

and yes from what i know of them that seems fairly accurate
it isnt the sort of animal that would happily take to a leash

[lyingheart]

"Hard" is one of the worst to demand unless absolutely necessary. Riding is enjoyable, in a way, when it's not your only recourse to not dying horribly.

They're viciously territorial. They'd probably refuse to even leave their territory.

[glowsferatu]

it was also meant as a minor innuendo
please dont ask
he was weird and he was very sweaty

im just imagining him having to be dragged around
some feral little beast who should be muzzled before allowed to speak

[lyingheart]

... Ah. One of those.

That's an amusing mental image. Probably half accurate, too.

[glowsferatu]

if he does it again
will you do me the favor of telling me
this one i think will need to be paid attention to
in case that leash happens to snap

[lyingheart]

I'll consider it, Kanaya. But I won't promise you that I will.

[glowsferatu]

im not really satisfied with that
but i suppose its the best im likely to get

[lyingheart]

That's the correct assessment.

[ she's not going to say sorry. ultimately... she isn't. ]
