Of course can ask. I make no promises about granting it until I hear what it is.
On the back of the clearly hand-drawn card, he has printed the date (Dec 28) and time, as well as the location - the Enclosure.
It feels weird asking for a gift, so he'll call it a favor instead.]
Hey, Ulla! Ole buddy, Ole pal of mine, you have a moment? I wanted to pick your brain about something, nothing too crazy though, promise.
[Ulla gives a soft huff that isn't quite a laugh.]
Of course. I'll help if I can. What is it, Hanna?
Temporary pairings seem to precede it more often than not. But not always.
Why?
Heeeeey! Um...you wanna take a stroll over to the sixth floor? I- I might have put your cat to sleep. Like, literally. He's sleeping. But he really wasn't happy before I did.
Could you stay with him for a few minutes? I want to transform so I'm more mobile, but I don't want him left alone under a sleep spell in the middle of the hall.
[Because he's courteous like that.] I'm just hanging out right outside his door. Um...I'll wait though, definitely. Cause he kind of busted my nose and scratched the hell out of my face? Taylor asked me to ask you to do something about that.

[ Eric arrives a few minutes later, box in hand. He knocks on her cabin door. ]
Heeeey, Ulla! You think you could swing by real quick?
Of course. You sound good. Are you feeling better?
Of course I don't mind. I'm... I appreciate something useful to do right now, but I wish it weren't this.
On my way.
Yes, but don't make me write to you about it. My people have no written language, and I haven't known how for that long.
You can bring them to my cabin, or talk aloud here.
He knocked on her door carefully. He felt...kind of mixed up about all of this. For one, that he was coming to see her with not the best of intentions, but also...the breach meant that he had feelings for her beloved. Which was wrong.
Which was why he had to come over and apologize, even if it wasn't his fault. Technically.
"It's Oscar. My apologies if you're busy."
Ulla answers the door in her aquatic form, slithering on her long black eel's tail. "Hello, Oscar."
But because last time he came by, this was a moot point, she'll take the time to warn him, "I'm not busy, but if you'd like a private conversation, your cabin would be best. Taylor can hear whatever is said here, regardless of whether she's home."
