Dialogue
I am so pleased that you're willing to join us in further research.
Thus far, you have noted this ailouros's response to stimuli.
However, the ailouroi have one more very special capability. Aren't you curious?
You will be pleased to know that I have dispatched one additional ailouros to fly about the Twelve Wonders, then. If she is working as designed, the phenomenon should be clearly observable.
I expect that you will be able to collect evidence of it from my fellow researchers...say, Oloros, Deukalion, and Chloris? Do present your conclusions to me when you've finished!
Mrrrp!
What fun would it be if I told you in advance? Better that you reach your own conclusions.
Isn't this the most darling familiar you have ever seen?
Behold its soft and fluffy fur, its pudgy belly, its charming little bell! Its eyes that gaze imploringly into the very depths of your soul!
It makes you want to dismantle it and gobble its adorable aether right up, does it not?
I dare not, of course—whoever it belongs to would be quite cross indeed. Yet even to gaze upon it stokes within me a creative passion the likes of which I've never known!
M-Meeew...
Alas, my muse! Perhaps I need create my own familiar of surpassing cuteness after all...
A tiny winged creature? Do you refer to Hippothoe's familiar, perchance? I did see it not long ago.
I know not where it's gone off to, I regret to say. I would assist in your search, but I must put brush to parchment before I forget what I meant to write.
Outside of my observational duties, I have been laboring over a treatise on aquatic flora, you see. Yet rereading my work a moment ago, I was suddenly struck with how trite my conclusion sounds.
I believe I know precisely how to strengthen it, however. I daresay even Halmarut shall be impressed by my insight!
I would advise you to keep your head down—I saw some manner of creature darting about in the air just now. If it carries on like that, it's only a matter of time before it collides with someone's skull.
It startled me so badly that I accidentally created a winged fish—of all things!—which itself escaped to the skies ere I knew it...
Though, now that I have a moment to reflect on its speedy departure, perhaps the ability to fly is not so wasted upon aquatic creatures as I believed. Surely such a boon would give them heretofore unknown capacity to evade predation...
The recent fashion for flying concepts may have something to it after all. I really must pay visit to the Bureau of the Architect next I'm in Amaurot—I doubt anyone has registered a winged fish yet.
Soft fur...wide eyes... Hmm, what else should I add?
Halmarut may even appoint me to a research position at the Akadaemia Anyder... At last, my time has arrived!
We were fortunate that it was a happy accident this time, of course. You know how it is—someone yells, “surprise!” and suddenly you've created a stunted serpent with yellow stripes or some nonsense. We can't have that.
Mew, mew!
I see you have spoken to everyone. And what are your findings?
Exactly right! The ailouroi bless those they meet with inspiration.
After all, we are at our best—and our brightest—when our hearts are at ease. With clarity of thought and faith in ourselves, we can do anything.
And what could possibly quell inner turmoil so well as a lovable creature like this?
Mew, mew! Mrowr...
Ah, it seems duty calls—she senses another irregularity. Off you go then, dear girl!
With today's results, the ailouros concept will be approved in no time. I am truly fortunate to have such wonderful familiars to work with—yourself included, of course!
