[The leash is given over, and she snaps her bone fingers.]
Orthrus, come.
[A two-headed dog comes trotting into the Echo chamber and up to Hank, wearing a thick neckguard with a large steel ring set into it where the leash is meant to be snapped on. He looks fucking hideous and scary, but that tail is wagging and he's slobbering harmlessly??]
[Yes, yes he will. Both heads will vie for attention.]
Oh, anywhere should do. I don't have the time to play with him too much myself, given my research, and I suppose he's gotten bored of my manor and estate.

Mm? I can. How much would you like?
no subject
—uh, thank you? I - well, I'm doing it for a friend who sort of made the comment offhandedly, so . . . enough for a couple of cups?
no subject
Ah, that should be simple enough.....In exchange, please take this.
[Holds out what looks like a sturdy leash, where did that come from??]
One of my pets could do with some exercise.
no subject
Also he's not asking where the leash came from, he'll just take it]
Ah - of course. I'd be happy to.

Kindly walk him for a few hours, would you?
no subject
But. But after a moment of staring, he'll . . . hook the leash on, yes. Very carefully]
M-Mm. Does he have - any particular places he likes to be walked?
[because that makes sense to ask??]
no subject
The courtyard should be a nice change from what he's used to.
no subject
Alright. Anywhere else?

no subject
Ah - I'll take him a few places, then. May I ask what sort of research you do?
no subject
[Adjusts her fancy clothes a bit.]
A broad spectrum of topics, honestly. But for now, my focus is narrowed to the paranormal and transformation-based afflictions.
no subject
[ha ha . . . ha . . . ]
Transformation-based . . . how?

—sorry, I just - I recently got back a memory that seemed relevant, so . . . I had to ask.

im ready to be serious now, maybe
you friggin liar
I - don't know. I only remember talking about it, then testing it on myself.
hence the "maybe"
[either way it sounds like you fucked up in some capacity tbh
not going to judge tho because what is science if not "trial and error: the endless saga"]
If you should recall more, know that I'd be interested in hearing about it.
no subject
If you'd like.
no subject
And if you'd like, as well.
[Gives Orthrus one last pet.]
no subject
I'll - uh, see you in a few hours, then?
