Vorend smiles as she approaches the first room of the third floor. "You'll like these ones, I should think," she says brightly. "They guard the Mutt Chart, and most of them are outcasts or to troublesome to live with the other mutts. They've got the biggest room this place has to offer, as well."
She pushes open the door and reveals five mutts, three of which look very similar. The first, a smaller red mutt with blue eyes, approaches you. "Welcome, call me Sparkflua!"
She walks over to the others, first next to a grey mutt wearing an earing. Vorend smiles and bows a bit to her, and she smiles in return. "No need to bow to those in exile, especially because you don't do it for my parents..." she says softly.
Vorend laughs. "I bow to you because you're outcast, and not to your parents because they outcast you." Turning to you, she introduces you to the five mutts, and when she introduces you to Hadas, the one she addressed, she says, "She has been outcast from the royals, but she is still the child of King and Queen."
Before you can ask why she is outcast, however, the two reddish mutts walk over to investigate you better. Vorend has already told you that these two are Hades Hounds, which you guess to be a subtype of mutts.
The first, who possess more grey fur, introduces herself. "I am Hund, and this is my mate, Hades Heat." The all-red mutt bows, wagging his black-tipped tail. "We're the only two of our kind here, and we're proud of that. And we're proud to be friends of Hund, outcast of the Royals!" She says this pronoucement so loudly that you're certain that the mutts downstairs can hear it.
Hades Heat speaks up and says, "There is a reason we alone are allowed to protect the charts."
"Eh-hem," says another female voice. "You alone? What are the rest of us here for, decoration?"
The fifth mutt, who had been coiled up sleeping a few minutes before, is finally standing up, smiling. She has a spike on her tail and a bone sticking out, which still disturbs you. She says, "Ah, a wanderor. Call me Tyranai if you need to."
She gives you a wry smile before turning to the others. "Do you think we should let them see?"
The other four nod in agreement, and Vorend seems to take a great interest. "So you're telling me I can show the wanderor the Mutt Pack chart?" They all nod in agreement.
