[With food plentiful and the weather cold, Ragnvaldr has taken to sleeping longer hours. His own egg is rather large with a strong eggshell, and he’s kept it warm against his body like a hen. So, when Enki’s eggshell breaches, Ragnvaldr wakes in a sudden manner to what he can only describe as a killing intent. He hears Enki’s words right as he fully wakes, standing from bed ready to deal with someone or something.]

[He picks up a length of wood that he keeps by his bed with nails driven through it. He comes through the bedroom door dressed in a sweater and loose boxers, gaze searching.]


Ja. [His eyes fall to the egg in the otherwise silent room. But he pauses before he acts. ]

What is it?

That eye…

… Was Miasma originally hatched, not forged?

[He sets the piece of wood aside to get closer without crowding the space. He sits at the kitchen table and looks down at the thing.]

Ah… It stood up.

[A beat.]

And what will happen if it is not fed blood? Will it weaken, or will it only become angry?

[on that note, Ragnvaldr fishes the egg out from his sweatshirt.]

[It starts to crack as an egg tooth comes through right on cue. Ragnvaldr continues to hold it in both hands, watching in fascination. ]


It had been moving around all day.

[And then, with some more effort, it cracks the rest of the egg shell and pushes it properly apart. This was quick by any creature’s measure, but he had just watched a sword hatch-]

[Hes almost wary that something gruesome would hatch when he sees the wet sparse fur over pink skin, then relaxes as soon as he realizes he’s holding an incredibly newborn puppy.]

Look. A dog-

[personal profile] devowr 2025-01-06 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ja, yes. I believe you are correct.

[He gently tilts the creature in his hand and peers at it carefully.]

This… This couldn’t be Moonless, could it? Ah… And without a bitch to nurse it. [He clicks his tongue.]

And here I am without a spouted bottle… Perhaps the shop has one. She is too young to be brought outside. Enki, I know you are not one for idle favors… but…

[He sighs. Grouchy bitch. But still. ]

Well, either hold her while I go fetch a vessel, or go in my place.

[He looks down at the pathetic creature in his hands. She’s simply adorable like this, without any teeth. ]

Thank you, priest.

[He takes Enki’s hand in his own and places the puppy. He throws on his cloak and pulls on some thick tights for the weather he found at Roxx. He then tucks Miasma in his belt and turns to the door. ]

I’ll be back soon.

The dagger desires blood.

[As he sort of leaves the implication in the air. ]

And I am much better rested. I will only be a bit. Surely the Bongsin has a vessel.

[He puts on his boots.]

[personal profile] devowr 2025-01-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
My thanks, Enki.

[He gives him a warm smile as he puts his fur shawl over his shoulders and heads out.]

[It is truly not that long. Ragnvaldr gets some good milk and finds a bottle, heading back before long. It takes him maybe twenty minutes to round the bridge and come back from Bangsan.]

[He comes back, bag in hand with all he needed, plus a couple enticing things from the baby needs aisle. He takes each item out of the bag and sets them upon the table. Theres assorted toys, hygiene items, the bottle…]

Look at this clever thing. It feels so real.

[As he points the business end of the bottle at Enki. ]

[personal profile] devowr 2025-01-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Right. You wouldn’t know…

[He smiles at Moonless, bundled and unable to go much of anywhere. He pulls the milk out of the fridge and considers it for a moment. ]

Ah… this needs to be warmed.

[He clicks his tongue as he looks at the stove, then the microwave. He did not understand, nor trust the microwave. It sparked mightily the last time he used it to try to warm a bowl of soup.]

[The range he had eventually understood. The knobs were simple enough. So he fills a pot with milk and sets it low.]

[As the chill of outdoors wears off, he sheds his clothes into the closet, then sets Miasma on the kitchen counter.]

A shame it does not drink milk as well.

[So far, most of Kirk's days in Etraya have been spent in his lab and working on various projects. One of more pressing ones is his food supply situation. Technically, it could be worse but Kirk doesn't trust anything provided by Aurora or Echo. He would rather get his own food, so to speak. But he can only go so many days without blood before slipping into madness again so he's tried out the blood and artificial plasma from the hospital. It seems fine. He's also been making his usual artificial plasma using the ingredients from Etraya's stores, not that he has much of a choice in the matter. He's still weighing his best meal options with the assumption he might be in Etraya for a while.

Artificial plasma making is what brings Kirk to the Kiwk Trip once again. Unlike Enki, Kirk isn't very bothered by the cold. His body temperature is noticeably lower than a human's so all he needs on this winter day is a thin layer of thermals underneath his Batman suit.

He had just come out of the store with a bag of his ingredients when he smelled someone close. He turns his head towards where the source is and hears shoveling. He also sees steam rising up. Curious he quietly walks towards the rear of the building and peeks around the corner. With his infrared vision, Kirk sees a frail-looking man overly bundled in winter clothes. Kirk eyes follow where the man is focused and sees the symbols carved into the ground.

He frowns, now thinking if he should interrupt or if whatever he's doing will make things worse]

[Ragnvaldr stirs the milk calmly before testing it upon his arm. He is very clearly educated on these matters. He fills the bottle, then pours the excess into mugs. He places one on front of Enki before relieving him of the squirming puppy. ]

[Bottle to mouth, she latches instantly. Ragnvaldr looks very pleased.]


She’s strong already.

[His smile only fades slightly as he looks up at the swiveling blade. ]

How do you intend to feed it?
