[ Langa appears on camera and he just looks sort of -- straight-faced and serious. On top of his head is a yeti who will be staring into the camera, but quiet, the whole time. ]

Hello, I'm Hasegawa Langa, and I'm looking to get a job here.

I worked in a skate shop at home.

[ He reaches up a hand and gently pets the yeti on top of his head who seems very happy with the affection. ]

But, I don't really mind any sort of job. I have healing and light magic if that helps anything. I am fairly new here and I would like to move out of the inn as soon as possible so my friend and I have space.

[ He tilts his head, looking almost confused for a moment. ]

Also, my familiar has taken to tripping me sometimes without any explanation. The rest of the time, he likes to attach himself to my side, so it doesn't appear to be for any dislike. I'm not sure I understand why.

[ He's dead silent for a moment and then there's a small smile. ]

Oh. Two questions:

What is your favorite place to eat here?

If anyone has any neat locations that might be fun to skateboard, can you pass along the location information?

Thank you.

[ Sorry, Yeti.

Perhaps someone who's better at actually understanding familiars will come along soon to help.. ]

Sounds like the solution to your problem is easier than mine then. [ Minako sighs after saying it. ] Mine always acts the same way, but it's not a good way. I wonder if they have some sort of familiar school I could send him to.. You know, like how you can get classes for your pet if it misbehaves!

[ He's just going to sleep here. It's fine. ]

Oh! I know those. Obedience classes. They sometimes post graduation videos on youtube. [ wait ]

They probably don't have them for Familiars since a lot of them can talk and don't seem like... pets. But more like friends.

What is yours doing?

He keeps running away from me whenever he sees food.

[ For one. But judging by the way Minako says that, she could complain about this familiar for ages.. ]

And he never listens to me! Not to mention he just sleeps for most of the day, and he's so heavy to move around! What does he think I am, his slave?!

[langa]

I can't imagine running from food.

[ Said - totally seriously, of course. ]

He might think that you are here just to serve him, it's hard to say. It sounds like he's kind of lazy. What is he?

[reloves]

[ It does kind of feel that way - like she's the servant here, rather than him. It makes Minako groan a little in frustration, though she doesn't totally forget to answer his question. ]

He's a cat. Or, well, he's kind of big for a cat, but not to a ridiculous extent.

[langa]

I heard cats can be like that.

[ Given, he's never had a pet cat, but he does hang out with Miya and he seems pretty similar to a cat. ]

But that's usually why people like them.

[reloves]

Well, I had a cat back home too..

[ .. a talking cat, but look, she figures that those details are just going to make this whole story even more confusing. So she keeps them to herself - for now. ]

And he wasn't like this at all. Sure, he could be annoying sometimes, but it still felt so much more like we were a pair, you know? I wonder if it'd even be possible to get as friendly with this one as I was with my cat back home..
