[Action: John Doe Park]

[There is a rather strange sight in the park today- a girl playing with a wolf. More precisely, it’s Arya Stark playing with her newly regained direwolf, Nymeria.

You might expect a little girl to be intimidated by a wolf nearly as tall as she is, but she’s not. Not at all. In fact, she’s laughing happily, chasing the huge creature around the park. And Nymeria seems to be enjoying it, pausing every now and then to let Arya get tantalizingly close before bounding off.

Unfortunately, Arya is paying far more attention to her old friend than to where she is going, so there's a strong possibility she could run right into someone...]

[ Nadeko was just walking around, more or less as usually.. but she didn't expect anyone running right into her. She hasn't even noticed the wolf yet, but she's shrieking all the same as she's bumped into and falls backwards on the floor on her butt in the process. ]

O-.. ouch..

[notalady]

[And Arya, being a scrawny little thing, falls to the ground herself with a loud "oof."]

Sorry. [She shouts over the shoulder of the other girl at the direwolf.] Nymeria, wait!

Are you alright?

[imoutos]

I-I-I'm fine.. [ even if she's shaking, but that's more her natural shyness. Slowly she dares to peek at the other girl from under her hat. ]

.. S-.. sorry to you too..

[hawkeward]

[While running around the park, Arya might find herself crashing straight into this adorable little guy. The dog doesn't seem fazed by this at all, and rather than whine or growl at her, starts to bark happily and wag his tail.

Clearly this happy child is a new friend who will play with him, right??]

[notalady]

[Right! Arya's certainly not afraid. Especially not with her own furry friend nearby.]

Oh. Hello. [She offers her hand for the Mabari to sniff.] Where did you come from?

[Nymeria is a little more skeptical, sitting nearby ready to spring into action if necessary. Don't even think about hurting her human.]

[hawkeward]

[The mabari sniffs at Arya's hand for a moment, still wagging his tail. Seeming to approve of this tiny human child, he licks her hand and barks enthusiastically at her. A rough translation would be "my master is walking too slowly, so I decided to go for a run while she catches up. :D"

And because he is a very polite doggie, he sprints over to Nymeria to greet her, too. Woof!!]

[celes_chere]

[Before Celes can spot the little girl (and the wolf), she feels the impact of another body against hers as she nearly topples over.]

Ack!

[Regaining her composure, she turns around to face the one who nearly knocked her down.]

Please, please watch where you're going.

[She has yet to notice the wolf, as her vision is still a bit hazed from the impact.]

[notalady]

[Being a tiny little thing, the impact does knock Arya over.]

Sorry. [She looks up from her position on the ground and notices Nymeria creeping a little closer.] Nymeria, sit.

[And the direwolf calmly obeys, watching the newcomer carefully.]

[celes_chere]

[Feeling a pang of guilt as she watches the girl fall over, Celes reaches a hand out to help her stand, however, as she does so her attention quickly turns to the large wolf very slowly approaching her.]

Oh, oh wow.

[Thinking of similar creatures that she had fought before arriving in town, she lowers her hand and begins to back away, a bit nervous as to whether it will attack her or not, but once the girl orders it to sit, Celes relaxes.]

Is this your pet?

[She reaches her hand out again to assist the girl in standing.]

[sgtgunpla]

[The problem with being only two-feet tall is, you tend to be below everyone's field of vision. So poor Keroro has gone airborne for a minute, crashing a few feet away. Don't worry, this is mild compared to the stuff he's been through.]

A little warning would've been nice, de arimasu...

[notalady]

[Wow, he's tiny! What on earth is he?]

Sorry. I didn't mean to- [Unfortunately, Nymeria has decided to take this moment to approach and start sniffing Keroro. She's curious too, okay?] No, Nymeria.

[sgtgunpla]

[He coughs out some dirt.]

I-it's fine. I'm okay.

[Keroro rolls onto his back and puts his hand on his snout as he stands up.]

Whoa, easy there, Fluffy. I'm not kibble.

[werewolfoflondon]

[A wolf. Now that's interesting. Remus can't recall ever seeing one in person before. Not a real one, in any case; his own personage excluded.

He's found himself a cozy spot beneath an oak tree, nestled right into some thick roots and has been reading away, occasionally glancing up at the girl and her wolf. For a time that's enough, but curiosity does tend to get the better of him. At some point, when Arya's come close enough, Remus pipes up from over the top of his book.]

...is she your pet?

[notalady]

[Arya pauses, looking over at Remus and Nymeria comes to halt beside her.]

She's my friend. ["Pet" isn't quite the right word.]

[werewolfoflondon]

[Remus isn't entirely sure how to interpret that statement anymore. Before, back home, he might have just assumed, but this place is far too strange, and with so many different people, he can't even know which direction is 'up' any longer. It's utter mental upheaval.

But instead of inquiring, he simply offers a somewhat tight smile, barely visible over his book.]

Well. She's lovely.

[best_weapon_ever]

[Tsubaki isn't quite paying attention to her surroundings either. She hasn't had her throwing stars in months, so she's absorbed in the task of practicing her aim on some trees. She's on her way to the tree to collect the weapons buried in the trunk when she's run into.]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

[notalady]

It's alright. [In fact, the run-in seems completely forgotten in favor of examining the throwing stars.]

What are these?

[best_weapon_ever]

[She pulls one of them out of the tree, and passes it to Arya for inspection.]

They're called Shuriken, or Throwing Stars. A useful self defense tool that anyone who can throw something can learn to use. And they're weighted much better than throwing knives.

[thebeastwithout]

[Aaaand it's the green kitten boy thing she tried to pounce on the other day. Beast Boy blinks.]

Dude. I'm a way cooler dog than that.

[notalady]

She's not a dog, she's a direwolf.

[thebeastwithout]

Dog, direwolf, eh. I can do both of 'em and everything in between.

So she's your pet from back home?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Sniper is out in the park, taking a break from shooting arrows into trees to sit in the shade and carve a few more out of some sticks he found. It's a good thing he took a break or he might have taken a few shots at the direwolf.

As it is, he just stares.*

[notalady]

[What, never seen a direwolf before? No, probably not. Regardless, there's one bounding by right now, followed by Arya.

The half-made arrows in his lap catch her attention, though and she stops.]

You're an archer?

[snacklist]

[You know what's needed when walking Nymeria around the park? Clearly it's a suit of armour every bit as tall as The Mountain, right?]

H-Hey! You should be careful!

[notalady]

[O-oh. That's a sight that is disturbingly familiar. A knight.

Her natural instinct is to duck her head down and make herself as small as possible. Make herself seem less than she is, so she won't attract attention.]

Sorry. [But that is a rather young sounding voice for someone so gigantic, so she looks up in curiosity.]
