Glad you’re back! Nothing to serious, I hope?

To say Zenos is surprised by the gesture is perhaps the understatement of the year.

Zenos follows the roegadyn with confusion to the long stairs leading from the workshop to the ground floor of the makeshift city. It’s a long way down for the noisy, obnoxiously colored toy to make.

Because the universe likes its unfunny jokes, the unusual sound attracts the attention of the Smart Biologist’s pet odogaron since the beast was napping near the bottom of the stairs. The end result is, even Zenos has to admit, ridiculous. Huge, red murderdog runs up the stairs and watches the toy make its way to the bottom with absolute fascination, then whines and barks at it when it finally stops.

Any fun the situation would have however is immediately gone when Odo’s master notices the ruckus and glares up at the perpetrators. It’s a look that promises long hours in Rotten Vale collecting wyvern dung or something equally unpleasant showing up in his obligatory task log.
