[ The video shows Shiro looking a little wary. ]
Soo... just out of curiosity. Is anyone missing a lion cub?

video - un: CoolSkeleton95
[This probably wasn't a rhetorical question message, but it never hurts to check, right?]
no subject
[ He's looking down at something just off-camera. ]
Maybe?
[ He's not sure what to think at this point. ]
no subject
[The skeleton squints closer at the small screen on the watch, like the angle will tilt just enough to see the mystery animal himself.]
They come in lots of shapes and sizes!
[Understandable mistake, really.]
no subject
[ He makes a gesture to something below. ]
I think it's a stray. I made the mistake of giving it something and now it won't leave me alone.
no subject
[He shakes his head, confident and almost nostalgic.]
Before you know it, they're in your home. Stealing from your counter-top. Climbing into your bed at night.
no subject
Yeah, I think I'll pass on that.
It's not exactly friendly. I have the bite marks to prove it.
no subject
[Until proven otherwise, small animals are dogs, okay.]
Well, whoever it belongs to, might not have a watch. You may need to make posters. And get it a chewtoy.
no subject
Right. [ A pause. ] You wouldn't happen to have a printer, would you?
[ He can take a picture just fine, he just doesn't have the equipment to print it. ]
no subject
[Technology here is so lacking. Sure, he can still take selfies of himself, but who does he share them with? The audience is so small!]
But I have hands, and I can draw.
no subject
[ Wait. Did he just say that out loud? ]
Do you think you can draw him so his owner will recognize him?
no subject
Of course! I make art that looks like me all the time.
no subject
Okay. [ He's just going to assume that's a yes. ] When do you have some time?
no subject
Oh, I have time now. That's why I'm hanging out online, seeing what people are doing... Are you in a hurry?
[He hasn't seen the other clips about anybody's metal arm getting nibbled.]
no subject
[ The faster he gets this done, the faster he'll find the little guys owner. ]
I'd like to get it done as soon as possible. If he doesn't have an owner then I need to look for its family before they leave the area because I can't release him into the wild at this age. He's too young.
[ And he'll probably die and Shiro's not going to let that happen on his watch. ]
no subject
[Yes, he outright said the word gasp, in a gasp.]
Okay. Where are you now? I'll get some poster supplies... And meet you there!
[Seems more reasonable than convincing a clingy animal to go for a walk and meet lots of strangers.]
voice | un: PrincessAllura
[Don't mind her if she sounds very unsure right now.]
Are lion cubs a common pet on earth?
no subject
No, not really.
no subject
[Even as she says that, she doesn't sound entirely certain.]
What are you looking at?
no subject
If it doesn't belong to anyone then I need to look for its family.
[ Because he's not going to leave it out in the wild all alone. It's a baby! ]
Huh? [ He looks back at the screen. ] Oh sorry, Allura. It keeps biting my left arm. [ The metal one. ] I don't know how strong its teeth are so I'm trying to make sure it doesn't do it again.
no subject
[She says, defensively at first, but her attention is distracted by the next thing that Shiro is talking about.
That sounds really. Cute.]
...Can you show him on the video?
[For scientific reasons.]
voice / un: keith
no subject
It already took a bite out of my left hand.
[ The metal one so no harm done. ]
no subject
[Just raising an eyebrow at this.]
Is your hand okay? Where are you anyway? Do you need help getting it under control?
no subject
[ There's a purring sound in the background that turns a little deeper, a little meaner. Oh, crap. ]
My hand's okay. [ There's a little breathiness in his voice, sort of like he's moving and talking at the same time. ] No, I have it under control. [ Hopefully. ] I'm just looking for its owner that's all.
no subject
no subject
I'm getting it under control. I just need to figure out a few things.
no subject
Are you going to keep being mysterious about this or.....?
no subject
It's a lion cub. There's no mystery here.
It's going to take a while to calm him down.
[ And he doesn't want it biting his arm anymore for fear of hurting it which is why he's trying to dodge it every time it goes for it. ]
no subject
Better stop distracting you then.
no subject
I'll see you back at the house once I've dealt with this.
no subject
What’s its name?
