[Given the field, and edge of a forest just within sight, it could be guessed that Turo was somewhere within Cosmo Conservatory on Eltrut; sitting there in the tall grass as a bit of fog forming could also be seen. Those who remembered his plushie announcement could likely spot both familiar creatures vaguely there and- well.

A lively nest just within the hollow of a fallen tree; the eggs no longer eggs.]


I am happy to announce that there are now several hatched Cloud Hoppers, healthy, with a proud set of parents just as lively and active-

[—and that was a bark, followed by the sound of something loping in and half knocking into Turo from behind, the strange looking dog popping up with paws over his shoulders and panting. Head tipped so one eye was on the shellphone and the light indicating the camera was on. A bright set of feathers behind those ears bobbing a little with all of the movement.]

-and I suppose my new friend wishes to introduce herself. Has anyone here happened to have see a dog like this before?

[As said dog deliberately flopped right into his lap, tail wagging; something perhaps a little odd in how one eye remained focused sharply still on the shellphone.]

A pack of them seem to have been exploring the sanctuary grounds, peacefully at least. She is the only one to have broken off from them. I must admit that some of their markings remind me of a creature from my home region.

[...was— did the dog just huff out a small curl of fire?]

[It is like discovering that fairies are real all along. Zenyatta listens, rapt. There's a lot of information to take in, certainly, but that is no chore at all when it is so fascinating- and he visibly startles when, of all things, a live demonstration comes wandering into frame, not so much a creature as a living machine like himself, peering at him through LEDs bright with intelligence.

Then it is gone, replaced by a series of intricate sketches, one after the other, just as the man had described: a fiery alligator, a black dog with impish horns...

There are a thousand questions lined up in his processor when his teacher comes to a conclusion, but every one has been instantly outprioritised.]


I can see why you are a professor! And yes. I would like that very much. [That's an understatement.] My name is Zenyatta. You are sure I would not be getting in the way?
