...I wonder if this is what it feels like after a long week of drinking alcohol. I've never had any before, but I've read that blackouts are common when one binges. Anyways, I seem to have lost some time, so I apologize to anyone [she attempted to jump into the lap of as if she was a chihuahua instead of a wolf] I acted... unusual toward.

I do have a question for you all. How many of you consider yourself kin to canines? Dogs, wolves, foxes or the like...

[She then chuckles.] And Garviel? You don't count for this purposes of this call. But I'd like to see you.

Hayate... Don't tell Fate, but I have no idea what you're talking about. You, Fate, Nanoha... Vivio... you're all older than you should be. To me.

[lil_tanuki]

Huh? You mean, we're not from the same time? When was it for you?

[Oh dear, was Arf, ARF hiding secrets from Fate to keep her safe?]

[fatefullfriend]

[More to keep Fate from worrying over something she need not worry over. BECAUSE FATE WORRIES OVER WAY TOO MANY THINGS SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO. Silly master.]

...not too long after Teana became Fate's aide.

[lil_tanuki]

O-oh. That was four years ago for me! No wonder th' sight of everyone being older is throwing ya off! You poor dear!

[And she's going to hug you Arf, and ruffle your hair.]

You holdin' up okay keepin' this from Fate?

[fatefullfriend]

[Arf relaxes a bit with that hug and pet.]

For the most part. It's not important, in the end. And here... I'm useful again.

[lil_tanuki]

Hey. [She nudges Arf on the shoulder.] You'll NEVER become not useful. Never tell yourself differently. Fate'll always rely on you as a close precious person even if we could get so powerful we'll make Midchilda explode from our collective awesome.

[fatefullfriend]

I know, but it is nice to be the one to protect Fate again. To do my duty as her familiar as I did when she was young.

[lil_tanuki]

Awwww~ [Ruffles Arf's hair.] That is sweet. And yes, it is a nice feeling isn't it? And you can protect me too!

[fatefullfriend]

And I will. [SUCH DETERMINATION]

[lil_tanuki]

[ALL the determination! Hayate's going to giggle.]

Have you eaten lunch yet? I'm sure there's some steak in the fridge.

[fatefullfriend]

I haven't. Let me cook it for you. I used to do this for Fate all the time.

[She says offhandedly as she heads into the kitchen. She will cook Hayate and herself a meal.]

Do you have a job like her or did they make you a housewife?

[lil_tanuki]

Sure, that sounds wonderful!

[All of Arf's cooking is going to be awesome. And she nods at the last bit.]

I'm a seamstress. Ah guess they know my hobbies.
