‘Maybe it will be easy with very little conversation? It does say it is mostly to see what is wrong with the Rakai pup after all.’ That is what made him decide to go for it in the end, because the focus will mainly lay on a animal and if it is just some cheering up it needs he could bring one of his pets with him and let them do most of the fixing. And if it is something medical that ails the beast, he could help lend a coin to them if they for some reason couldn’t pay for the medical bills. Memorizing the details of where exactly the house is located, he frowns slightly at the unfamiliar address. He’ll likely need to check some maps to see where Fairlywrought Lane eighteen is located, because it certainly isn’t ringing any bells in his mind. Stepping away from the quest board, he starts heading outside, passing by people who are just as much interested in doing quests as he is. Hopefully when he has packed everything he feels that is needed, and wrangled a pet on the leash to take with him to the house, he’ll figure out what to do when he knows the full situation he supposes.

It took about an hour for him at home to find the map of the labs that have to do with street lanes, instead of the more famous one that just notes down popular hot spots people could visit. Of which there where only four streets mentioned in it, leaving out more of the lesser known ones that are quite numerus considering how the city is growing more and more. Writing down the way he should travel to reach his destination was easy and simple after that. Gathering what he needs for the trip itself? Not so much. He didn’t know exactly what he should take along to cheer up the kids Rakai, or if it is something else that should be done, but he’ll try his best and see what the outcome of it will be. Thus not even three hours later after memorizing the quest and all it might entail, he is standing in front of Fairlywrought Lane eighteen, a leash in his left hand with a collared Seraphim tugging anxiously at it, not used to the collar or leash, and growling slightly in frustration when his efforts are futile in trying to get away. And he carries a backpack full of goods he thinks might be necessary to have brought along for this trip. Knocking on the white door of a terraced house that looks modern, but not so much that one would say they are from a well to do family. It makes him shift his body from the right to the left in uncertainty, but he doesn’t allow any other tells to express himself in body language. *3 Seraphim LV 2.2, LY 11.3

Knocking again when no one answered after a minute, he thinks he could hear the hurried footsteps of someone inside the house coming closer to the door, when he hears the locking mechanism of the door being unlocked, he is certain of it that they have come. “Hello?” Swinging open the door a women likely in her thirties, with brown hair and amber eyes greet him, she seems to be dressed in rather comfortable grey jeans and a red patterned sweater. “Hello,” He says as well, pausing for a second before continuing. “there was a request in the Quest Central. Something about a Rakai that wasn’t feeling to well?” He says, keeping his voice clear of any nervousness he feels inside, and down at his feet the yipping of Seraphim could be heard as he sees a new person is standing close by, wagging his tail for a moment as he looks at the new human.
“Oh! That is likely the case yes, my daughter probably went out of her way to do it for she is quite worried about Poppy but we have had the pup checked at the Vets, and as far as they know nothing seems to be ailing her when it comes to her health.” He could see and hear at the tone of her voice she is concerned about the pup, but likely because it isn’t truly something that needs medical attention, she doesn’t seem too worried about it. Maybe she thinks Poppy will get over whatever the problem is?

“I see.” He says while going over that information in his mind, at least he can cross that out of his list of problems that the pup might be suffering from, but still. Standing here, and talking about it won’t really fix the issue either. “Would it be possible I could come inside and see if I could help the pup? I’m not a veterinary, but maybe another’s outside perspective would help? If nothing else, maybe Seraph here could cheer Poppy up?” He says while shifting his weight a little again, eyeing the women carefully. He knows having strangers at your door and letting them come inside, isn’t something you’d easily allow. And while he hates the fact that he looks like a woman on the outside, it could still perhaps give him an advantage compared to what he looks like on the inside. “Yes of course. Come inside Ma’am..?”

She says while ending it in a question that is clearly asking for his name while stepping back with a pleasant smile, his eyebrow twitches and he shoves one hand in the pocket of his coat to curl it up out of sight, while with the other he grips the leash just a bit tighter in his hold. He greatly dislikes the reminder. “Just Claw is fine. I hadn’t caught your name either I think?” He says while stepping inside the home, and rubbing his boots clean on the doormat there, then steps further inside so that she could close the door once Seraphim steps inside as well, sniffing at the new environment with intelligent eyes. One way to describe the home of his.. Well client he could call them, right? Is that while slightly cluttered with knickknacks be it a toy from either the child or the pup, there is also a large green fern in one of the corners he can easily see. A set of stairs leading down and up to the next floor could be seen on the right side, while three doors are on the right.

The closest one smaller than the rest, so likely it doesn’t actually lead him towards a room. “Claw hmm? Interesting name. Well, I am Jessica Rim. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He hears her say behind him, making him turn around and see she is sticking out her hand. He carefully shakes her hand, not really sure what to make of it, shouldn’t the pup be more important than the pleasantries? “Pleasure is all mine.” He pulls his lips up in a poor attempt of a smile that seems to make her falter for a slight moment before she shakes her head and goes past Seraphim and him, making their way to the last door on the right. “Well, I hope your able to cheer Poppy up in any case, any attempt is better than none if the cause can’t be found. Jenny has been rather tearful ever since we left the Vet.” He hears her say as he follows after her, making certain not to step on any toy that is in the way.

Suffice to say, he is going to assume Jenny is the daughter she mentioned. “Come Seraph.” He says and pulls slightly at the leash when Seraphim gets distracted with some of the dog toys laying around. With one of them being a treat ball, it didn’t surprise him at all that Seraphim wants to investigate it. “Garuuooh.” Not exactly a growl is what Seraphim lets out, more a whine of wanting to play with it, that is all but forgotten when they reach the living room and Seraphim notices another Rakai pup is laying on the carpet staring listlessly in front of him while a small child at its side dressed in a pink sweater with white lines depicting the image of a dog with a bone in its mouth, and black pants. Hair styled in two pigtails and just a few shades darker in tint compared to the mother. “C’mon Poppy! You always like to play with mister Muffin and me.”

He hears her mutter loudly to a blue pup darker in shade then a normal Arcane breed would be while presenting to Poppy a yellow Faeron plushy that has seen better days. The pup just looks the other way, clearly not in the mood for it. “Warf?” Seraphim yips to the Rakai while they come closer, he keeps the end of the leash firmly in his hand to be able to pull Seraphim away if it doesn’t work out. “Oh! Another puppy?” He hears the child exclaim in surprise, staring with wide amber eyes at Seraphim, and with her mouth slightly parted, he sees a tooth is missing. Seraphim wags his tail in delight as he carefully comes closer, uncertain if he would be welcomed as well as its own awkwardness that he feels when it comes to his own kin. “Warf? Waf?” He hears Seraphim bark softly at the pup, gaining just a slight reaction as the pup lifts his head up and looks in confusion at Seraphim’s presence, brightening slightly at his presence and wagging his tail, but then for some reason Poppy rests his head on his paws again. Sighing almost as he looks away from Seraphim.

“Well, that is odd.” He mutters as they all look at Seraphim when he comes closer and nudges with his snout against the other, yipping playfully as he tries to entice the other to play with him. “How long did you say thi-“ “Are you Light!?” He gets interrupted by the child, Jenny he thinks she is called by her mother. She holds herself in a serious manner, hands behind her back, shoulders squared, and lightly swaying back and to the front with her feet, while eyeing him with curious eyes. “Not exactly.. But close enough!” He tries to deny, before abandoning the attempt when he thinks he sees tears in the corner of her eyes, he so does not want to deal with a crying kid near him! “Yay!” She cheers in delight as she claps her hands together, catching both of the pup’s attention for a moment. “You must have heard my plea! You can save Poppy right? You must!”

“Now, now Jenny, calm down. She is going to try her best to help, and that is all we should ask for.” He hears the mother say when Jenny starts demanding his help, he holds back a sigh. Can he still leave? He only signed up to help a pup, not the kid as an added package deal. “I’ll try my best Jenny.” He says while stepping around the kid and coming closer to the blue pup and Seraphim.. Well, they are actually both blue, but Seraphim has a long stripe from the nose till the tail tip that is pink, so they are both still easily recognizable with who is who. Sinking down on his knees, he eyes the pup curiously. “How long did you say this has been going on for?” He says again to the parent and child while this time not being interrupted as he looks at the scales that seems to be in perfect health, no crack to be found in them.

“About two days now, it started at some point when I was out walking in the park and I needed to hurry getting dinner ready, before my husband headed to his work. Jenny was staying over with a friend of hers from what I remember at that time.” The mother helpfully supplied as he started stroked the head of the pup, gaining a soft growl from Poppy. The spikes at the back of his head are in perfect shape too. Picking up one paw and kneading slightly at the pads made the claws unsheathe just a bit more then normal. They look just as healthy as Seraphim has them from what he can see. He wincing slightly when the pup in question nips at his hand that is holding the paw of Poppy. Surprised, he lets go of Poppy’s paw as he stares at Seraphim, wondering what that is all about. Snorting slightly, Seraphim looks away from him and nudges at Poppy again, whining slightly as he keeps headbutting the pup in question insistently.

“Poppy? Don’t you want to play with the other puppy?” He hears Jenny say as she scoots closer to the pair, laying down to be at their eye level while trying to smile, he can tell she is just barely holding on to her emotion in order to not start crying. He hadn’t noticed it before, but her eyes are just a bit on the red side. Maybe she has been doing that a few moments ago before he came in this room? Hopefully she can keep herself from crying, he really isn’t certain how to deal with such matters, but should it happen, hopefully her mother will be able to cheer her up. ‘Two days huh?’ He muses while the child chatters on with both Seraphim and Poppy. ‘For a kid that would certainly be a long time, but the women.. I think she called herself Jessica? She said it happened somewhere when they where walking out in the park. Could it be connected?’

“Graf!” He flinches slightly at hearing Poppy letting out a mix between growling and a bark at Seraphim when he still kept insisting the other should play with him. Showing his teeth, and keeping his ears flat behind his head as he starts to stand up. “Poppy! Stop it!” “No Poppy!” Both Jessica and Jenny say at the same time at the pup, making him whine while Seraphim keeps his distance for the moment after he got snapped at. His eyes glinting slightly as he seems to examine the other pup. “I’m sorry, normally he doesn’t do that at all. He’s always playing so nicely with another Rakai.” The mother apologizes as he turns his attention towards her, out of the corner of his eyes he sees Seraphim try to approach Poppy again while the girl is sitting down on the carpet looking forlorn at the pup. “Another Rakai? Any chance he still plays with the other pup?”

He questions while he sees Poppy stiffen all of a sudden and snap his neck so quickly as he looks into Seraphim’s direction with surprise, while Seraphim starts to sit down with a frown and still look intently at the other pup. “Well.. Not exactly. I haven’t seen the other Rakai for a while now. What about you Jenny?” The mother questions her daughter, making Jenny look away from Poppy’s curious reaction towards Seraphim. “Uhm...” She says while tapping one finger against her cheek as she looks up. “I don’t think so? Ferry isn’t there when I do walkies with Poppy.” She pouts looking down and starting to grip with her hands at her knees in frustration. “Arf!” They all look in the direction of the pup’s when Poppy starts barking all of a sudden. “Arf, ARRf, Arr..” And continues to do so for a while at Seraphim, this time at least not as aggressive as before.
