[ The video shows Shiro looking a little wary. ]


Soo... just out of curiosity. Is anyone missing a lion cub?

Hmm, you don't sound sure... Did you find a dog?

[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.]

[blackbonded]

Definitely not a dog.

[ 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.

[spaghettimonster]

That sounds like dog behavior. Give in to their puppy dog eyes even once, and...

[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.

[blackbonded]

[ Climbing into his bed?! His brows rise up and he snaps his attention to him for a second or two before it's pulled away at the thing at his feet.]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that.

It's not exactly friendly. I have the bite marks to prove it.

[spaghettimonster]

So not really a lapdog...

[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.

[blackbonded]

[ He was hoping they did. That way he could get the little guy to them within the day. ]

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. ]

[spaghettimonster]

A printer? I don't even have a computer.

[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.

[blackbonded]

Well, it can't be any worse than Allura's drawings.

[ Wait. Did he just say that out loud? ]

Do you think you can draw him so his owner will recognize him?

[spaghettimonster]

[Sure hope the person with the username PrincessAllura doesn't notice that.]

Of course! I make art that looks like me all the time.

[blackbonded]

[ Don't invite trouble! :| ]

Okay. [ He's just going to assume that's a yes. ] When do you have some time?

[spaghettimonster]

[:)?]

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.]

[blackbonded]

Right now is good for me too.

[ 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. ]

[spaghettimonster]

Gasp! We can't have that.

[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.]
