[holyposition]

Not really. Why?

[kobes]

Well, I found one of those pumpkins at the fair? And there was a duck inside? But I think she might also be a mermaid?

[holyposition]

Is this another magic snail thing?

[kobes]

No, no, I think she came from here. Or the Balfours or something. She's not like anything from my world, but I don't know a lot about ducks.

They aren't supposed to have gills, right?

[holyposition]

No...they're birds.

[kobes]

That was my thought. So she's some sort of fish-duck. Mermaid duck. There were several strange animals found at the festival, actually.

[holyposition]

Yeah, Alicent has one too. Hers is a bat-thing that breathes fire.

Are you keeping it?

[kobes]

Does she? I'll ask her advice, then.
I never had any sort of pet before.

Yes. She needs someone to look out for her. The other ducks don't like her very much, on account of the, um
Periodic carnivorous activity.

[holyposition]

We had a dog, back home. My family's house, I mean.

...it didn't try to eat the other dogs.

[kobes]

Well, that's a positive.

Abraham is a fairly mannerly duck, when she isn't hungry. You could come meet her, if you'd like. I promise she won't bite.

[holyposition]

I guess I could take a look, as long as it isn't biting me.

[kobes]

She won't, I promise! We're down by the lake. She also gets scaly when she's out of water too long.

[holyposition]

Are you sure that it's a duck and not a demon?

We have a priest now. Maybe you should call him.
