It's a weird story to be sure, and maybe an even weirder way to phrase things, but Irahl is the perfect audience for it. His own story with the demigod is just as bizarre, and he's also lacking anyone to vent about it to. The reports he has been writing up don't count.

He gives another neutrally-thoughtful sound in reply, and hauls his hair forward over his shoulder to continue braiding while he thinks about it.

That stray dog comment especially connects, between the conversations he'd had with the demigod about being a wandering, cosmic orphan, and just how the guy behaves when not wearing his human face.

After a few beats of silence, he scoffs under his breath.

"...A stray dog would be better-behaved."
