[Hushed and softly husky young male voice over faint nocturnal insect noises and fainter Samhain music; swaying view of lights and shapes of buildings. The broadcaster hasn't taken their locket off - absentminded ponderation that warrants a question. Pardon the ponderation coming first.]

I wonder if there's anything I could do for the King and Queen... Uh --

Like -- the way we do things for them anyway, now and again -- not, like, for the war -- but I wonder if there's something really important someone could help 'em with in the castle, or somewhere I could go for them -- somewhere they've gotta explore, or something! Something you could do for a favor - or, uhh, not exactly a "favor" I guess, but... Something from home.

-- It probably sounds kind of terrible... -- But I was kind of just thinking about something and now I kind of want to...! [Which - distinctly trails and retraces its own tracks; he hasn't set up this questiong well at all! Cracks back in with a bit of an affected "heh...!"] Uh -- sorry...!

[Stumbles up to re-start stronger. ] It's Toboe! Um. -- I'm a wolf -- the King and Queen introduced me to this girl; she was supposed to be some kind of a nature spirit. [By now winding through airiness. Thoughtful, nosing again as he goes at introductions all-around, what he's "learning" his way around. Refocuses for the next bit.] -- A "dryad", I think that's what she was called. -- And she led me out to meet some other wolves. I, uh -- still haven't really gotten to know them, but they seem great...

[This particular injection of huskiness is genuine forward-looking excitement, but he'll try to spare the digression as much as possible for the moment...!]

Anyway...! Uh - they said they'd never heard of, or -- smelled, or seen Lunar Flowers...! So I wanted to ask the King and Queen if we could grow them here, and if it'd be possible to get some! Maybe there could be a whole field of them someday... [A vision of Paradise!] -- I know the other wolves would love 'em -- and I bet everybody else would like them, too!

Uhh... So, um -- ! Has anybody... ever asked for something like that before...? -- To earn a chance to ask for something from the Kings and Queens, when there's not one already? I-I can always wait! But I'm just wondering...

...And come to think of it! [Conversationally intent cutting-back-in!] Did they have Lunar Flowers where any of you guys came from? And the story of Paradise? Though I guess that one's less important...

Lunar flowers? [ beg pardon but the name intrigues her. as does this talk of wolves and how they ought to like them. the only coupled concepts of moon and flowers are rather distasteful ones, so she cannot imagine this...toboe meant that. ]

Might I ask what they look like?

[ Ah, J'sairr remembers this wolf. It's the mention of Lunar Flowers that first draws his attention, though he gives due consideration to the rest of it before making his response. ]

This one has heard of no flower called the Lunar Flower... But they sound like a sight to behold.

Should you win their favor, it seems there are few wishes these rulers cannot grant.

So, you are the pup who played tricks on Samhaim? [ quiet amusement, before fading to warning ]

Have a care of the Rulers, pup. They are treacherous.
