[ Gideon is, once again, using the concept of a midnight snack as an excuse for not being able to sleep well, lately. She's munching on the Emperor's biscuits (which she will never publicly admit are tasty, not ever), when she hears a loud thump from the other room.

Gideon assumes this is just Kaworu being weird, or Harrow practicing necromancy, or something else insignificant. But when she hears another crash, Gideon figures she better go investigate.

She freezes, shock-still, when she finds a weird animal that she's never seen before. ]

What the fuck? Hey, what's a big dog doing in here?

[necrosaint]

[ Make that two big dogs, but the other one is familiar: Harrow is lost in a book, but Harrow's omen is on the job!! Leaving the necromancer to her own insomnia activities, the cute part of their soul comes bounding in, claws a-clack on the floor.

Then Stasya looks at Willow, and then looks up curiously at Gideon, and tilts her head so far over that her ear is against her shoulder. Should she go get Harrow? Should she play? ]

[lipochrome]

[ Stasya!!! You are very cute, but Gideon does not understand dog! Gideon throws up her hands, and then gestures at the even larger dog. If it is a dog. Gideon is not so sure. Someone tell her what a wolf is, please. ]

Okay, are you two, like, friends? Or something??

[frogfear]

[Willow freezes too when she sets her eyes on woman. Okay, okay, this is fine. So it's not the ship's Captain, but someone he shares the house with. Surely she'll be just as able to help, or at least raise the alarm, or something.

'Hey - hey I know we don't know each other, but I kind of need some help? Something weird is happening!'

It comes out as a bark, and Willow lets out a frustrated huff. Of course. Of course she can't talk like this. Instead, she bounds back into the room, and looks at her human form sleeping on the bed, and back towards the stranger.]

[lipochrome]

[ Gideon, who has heard very few animal noises in her life, startles at the bark. Then she immediately feels like an idiot, and raises her hands in a woah there gesture. ]

Okay. Uh. You want to talk? To the sleeping girl? That's, uh, kind of rude, you know.

[frogfear]

[The wolf ducks her head down at the misunderstanding. No, no, that's not at all what she meant. She looks back and forth between Gideon and her sleeping human form on the bed, trying to figure out how to get her point across.

Okay, okay, okay. She can do this.

She puts her front paws on the bed barks sharply at the sleeping young woman curled under the blankets and drops back down on all fours before barking at Gideon again, hoping she'll at least put together that it's strange that the noise isn't enough to get a reaction from the sleeper.]

[lipochrome]

[ Gideon stares at the large barking dog, the gears in her brain turning. She is clearly not putting anything together. ]

Hey, come on, you can't put your feet on her bed like that. If you wanna borrow a bed, you can use mine. I guess. Does that sound good?

[ is this???? how to deal with a wild animal???? ]

[frogfear]

[Willow just stares at Gideon, who is clearly still not getting what she's trying to tell her. No, no, she doesn't want a bed to sleep in, she needs to figure out how to get back in her own body and out of the wolf's. She paces back and forth anxiously briefly, trying to figure out how to get her point across.

Maybe it's time to just try to wake the rest of the house as well. Maybe someone else will get it. Cross species charades clearly isn't a strong point for either one of them. She jumps up on the bed and starts barking again, much louder this time.]
