[Wherever you may be—at home on your farm, out and about in town, exploring the wildlife, or perhaps even wandering through the more dangerous areas—someone has come to approach you, seemingly patrolling the area with a confident stride.]

Excuse me. I wanted to inform you that I have assumed the position of Sheriff. My name is Munakata, first name Kyousuke, and I can be contacted under that name at any time if you have issues that require police intervention. If you are capable of taking care of yourself I encourage you to apply for a position under me. We could use greater numbers to enforce order.

[Kyousuke himself is white-haired and imposing, with large snowy owl wings on his back and feathers covering the area where his right eye should be, like so. He is visibly carrying a sword, with another one tucked hidden in his coat in a compact state. He doesn't give off the impression that he's going to be a very easygoing Sheriff... but at least if you're in danger, that might be reassuring?]

Do you have any further questions or suggestions?

[ And in all honesty, a lot of his reasonable voiced plans are sort of half going over Chisa's head. It's not that she doesn't understand! They need a bigger pond, and she needs to stop feeding them, no matter how interested they seem in the food. (Can fish beg? The way that dogs and cats can? If they can, she might be in a tiny bit of trouble.) But also getting down into finer details makes her eyes glaze over juuuust a little. She can organize a home's space with her eyes closed (and has, a few times, just for fun), but larger scale property projects are definitely more his domain. ]

Okay! Okay... I fed them this morning, but I can hold off after this! They were just, kind of cute, so I couldn't help it...

[ She really wants a proper pet, Kyousuke..., ]

[And Kyousuke is chronically thinking of things in the context of a bigger picture instead of looking at them on their own. In this way, they balance each other out,

He sighs, rubbing at his temple.]

It's fine. You were doing your best to care for them. You couldn't have known this would happen.

[ Maybe it's silly -- it's certainly a little embarrassing -- but she does relax at his forgiveness. While he's sighing, she folds her arms behind her back and rocks on her heels a little, doing her best to be a little exaggerated in playing up the innocence act. This next part she wants him to not take too seriously, but also maybe take a little seriously. Just a little. ]

Mmmm... you know, Munakata-kun... if we're planning on staying here a while, I was thiiiiiiinking...

[ Should she suggest a dog? Would that make Maera and Mallory jealous?? Maybe a cat would be better; she could make an argument for pest control... though would that mean it'd need to stay outside? It's a serious situation...! ]

...Yes?

[Then why didn't you say so earlier? But he doesn't say that out loud. It seems like she worked herself up to this, and as long as she's telling him now, it's all fine in the end.]

What is it?

Mostly, um...

WhatdoyouthinkifIgotacatormaybeadogorsomething??

[ How did she manage to say that as a single word? Without taking a breath? It is a mystery, but she managed. ]

A—what?

[He thinks he heard what she said. But it's not a question he's considered.]

You can have anything you feel confident you can take care of.

Eh? Really??

[ She goes wide-eyed at that, fidgeting even more now. That was a yes, right? That was a yes, if slightly guarded. ]

You'd really be okay with that?

We're living on farmland... I'm prepared for a lot of animals. I just need to make sure we can keep up with the animals we have.

Ultimately though, you'll be the one taking care of the house more than anyone else. If you think you can be responsible for it, and if I judge we can provide for it financially, I don't see a reason to refuse. I'm not allergic.
