Polar Opposites, Tuesday
"Some things seem to remain universal," Morrigan drawled as the students arrived today. "No one likes snow, children are convinced vegetables are sent by demons, and the best friend of a man is generally a dog."
Beat.
"Because they share similar interests, smells, or intelligence levels, I know not."
Alistair's answering look was... a fairly epic bitchy scowl, actually. "I should have known," he said, "Of course you don't appreciate puppies. That would require having a heart."
"Nay, I appreciate wolf pups, or coyote, for they serve a purpose," Morrigan objected. "But you cannot deny 'tis true that wet-man and wet-dog often reek in similar fashions....unless the man be a mage, then it is usually a cat they befriend, not a dog. For the independence of a cat suits the fancies of a mage far more than dog-slobber does."
"Now cats are just evil," Alistair retorted. "They're not even really proper pets. They just run around and do their own thing! Seems useless if you ask me. Now a big, fluffy, adorable Mabari puppy... now that's a friend for life."
"What is it," Morrigan asked lazily, "with the male need to posses something completely? A cat has the intelligence to choose its friends, and amuse itself. Whereas the Mabari require more slavish attention and ownership than children. At least with offspring, they leave eventually."
"They're friends! They're friendly!" Alistair protested. "It's got nothing to do with possessing anything. Man's best friend. They back us up, is what they do. And they have those adorable big eyes. Have you ever gotten Mabari puppy eyes pointed at you before? Even you would melt!"
Why yes, they were turning their personal arguments into a class. Why do you ask?
Beat.
