Snarls would do the doggy equivalent of "I'd like to see them try", and then come barreling back to us while dragging like half a dozen of their Mighty Men by the chains they were trying to hold him down with.

Diogines posted:What you have done is a wild breach of the protocol and customs not only of your people but of your culture. Envoys and guests in foreign cities are expected to behave themselves, those who are highly Blooded even more so, so to display your power in such a way and actually threaten people with it is a terrible breach of protocol. Kore seems unhappy and Urgun shocked even if he does not say anything. Arba, son of Nun is almost certainly has a more worldly view than the rest of you and is more cynical, or maybe he is just being more cautious in his response as he is not as close to you as the others? Regardless you dismiss the packs of snarling dogs who are currently surrounding you and the slaves and turn to your escort. Without apologizing you say that you intend to try to negotiate for the release of these two slaves, and ask in a more neutral fashion if he can do something to prevent them from being punished until you have a chance to do so. ...and things went reasonably well with Zabdi, son of Kedar. You might have exposed their plot, you might have threatened them, you might have attacked them, with your far greater power you may well have done any of those things, but you did not. Instead you spoke with them for a time on matters of trade and negotiated a price to buy the Armanumian slaves still held in the city. Arba son of Nun is not a slave trader, his experience is rather the opposite actually but according to him in that, while he has not admitted it, being a longstanding member of the Golden Sandals he has probably killed a slaver here and there over the years even if it was not his true mission at the time, but he said to you... “As you surely know Magistrate the price of slaves skyrockets after the Jubilee when they are suddenly in short supply and great demand. You got an excellent deal for them.” Zabdi said he would sell you the slaves so cheaply… “As a sign of respect for the Great Hunter Snarls and for his Companion, the King of Zepath, that we may together hunt the Bnaimokt and our other foes in the years ahead.” They wanted Blooded Bronze and High Silver weapons. You haggled for some gold and silver now and a supply of high-silver tools to be paid out over a number of years, you didn’t want to give the Aggressive War Mongering Raiders weapons. You spoke of matters of trade for a time but did not promise anything. After speaking with him for a time the impression you likely had of Zabdi was a blunt man with little patience for excessive pageantry or formality. He was not overly rude but probably kissed your rear end less than you are used to when dealing with men from the Doughnut in that he barely did so at all? When the meeting was finished Snarls was invited to meet with Yeledtov… an invitation not extended to you. Until Snarls barked, which you translated to explain that Snarls would only meet with Yeledtov if you went with him as well, for you were as dear to Snarls as his own heart. You are lead away through several doors to a chamber deeper in the palace, past tapestries and statues of dogs, past soldiers and their dog companions until you find yourself before a very, very large door. Guarding the door are soldiers in armor different than the others you have seen before, the soldiers are wearing high quality bronze armor and they are Blooded. Not Blooded by the standards of the locals, actually Blooded, though their armor gives no obvious mark or emblem as a hint of their origin. With them is an elderly looking priest who talks quietly to the soldiers and sends them away, they look skeptically at the man, and at you but they obey and walk down the hallway from which you just came. The soldiers are definitely human… ...but the old man they just spoke with is not. The old man smiles softly as you and Snarls approach, he raises a hand to rub Snarls’s head and says... “My goodness, aren't you just precious?” Snarls wags his tail and gives a small, happy bark. The man still petting Snarls then looks to you and says “It is a pleasure to meet you Enkidel. Do not mind me, I am not here with any special instructions for you, I am not here for you at all actually. I just… keep an eye on them.” He raises a hand and gestures towards the large door behind him. “But I thought I would offer a word while I was here, just a word of advice. It is probably for the best that they are not widely seen by men, though make of the words of an old man as you will. I am only here to watch, nothing more.” You open the door and see… El-goodness. People have to look up at YOU a lot when talking, you rarely have to look up at anyone or anything. From the bottom of its paws to the top of its shoulder the creature is probably twice your height, over twenty feet tall to the top of its head. The creature looks like a dog and they look old, very old. They are resting upon a large cushion in a very large chamber with a large enclosed courtyard beside it, large silver bowls of food and water. And… ...and they appear to be sleeping. Snarls sniffs a few times. Very big! And very old. 1. What would you like to do? For now, there are no no written options.

Now i'm sort of disappointed and sad. Have Melachims been referred to by male/female pronouns before? Just trying to suss out if this is a Divine Being on its own, or just a Companion like the Orm and that's why this angel said "them".

Melachim do use male/female pronouns, all the time. Smythos is Male, Marnal is female, etc.

OK here's the plan thread: we're gonna sperm jack the big dog and breed an upgraded version of watches-the-fuzzies that can better communicate with Snarls on an emotional level.

Given what we know of the nature of our parantage and our peers/the history of when people akin to us roamed the world in numbers, i'm not entirely sure they'd all be put off by it

I mean, it's no more bestiality than it is when Enkidel couples with Naomi. The Snarls incarnation is a dog, the Enkidel incarnation is a human. It's a good thing we've lost ourselves in our roles as a human and a dog so much we still have those kinds of interactions with other humans and dogs, respectively! It seems like the kind of thing we start losing if our MCI starts tanking and our connection to mortal concerns grows weaker.

How ‘old’ did the city itself appear? Could we have asked anyone (The King, or our escorts on the trip over) what their founder/founding story is? Willing to assume that Wurukatte was a contemporary, or Zepa-esque, being who was also convinced to turn away from the world in exchange for what he cared for being looked after? Old man What level priest is he dressed as? What’s your name? Are you a Grigori/Watcher if this city? (Domain: Melachim—-Is he?) This is Wurukattes companion I presume? Am I allowed to know there his spot-that-makes-the-leg-kick is? Are you actually part of this cities clergy? Domain: Natural Order—*What* exactly is this being in front of us? - a (anciently blooded) ‘natural’ dog, or a supernatural being Which cities Gibborim could these guards be compared to? Domain: Blood (synergy Domain: Natural Order)—are they ‘naturally’ Blooded?- ie of a Blooded lineage no different than any other Urian Gibborim vs having been modified so their in order to become or stay this Blooded?
