[The feed turns on to show...a wolf. At first the wolf's yellow eyes take up the screen, and then its nose as it loudly sniffs at the camera until a young girl's voice with a strong Irish brogue addresses it offscreen.]

What are you doin' over there? I need help with this part!

[The wolf turns around to join whatever's going on, revealing that this is in Mebh's room at the Waystation. And it's an absolute mess; Mebh is currently in the process of painting various things on the walls with paint that she probably stole got from somewhere in town. She's painted it with numerous kinds of shapes and symbols; spirals, circles, arrows, simple depictions of wolves and people. What seem to be most common, though, are wolf pawprints overlapping with human handprints. The wolf Mebh called over dips one of its paws in a jar of paint, and Mebh guides the wolf's paw to the middle of a painting of a large circle of wolves, where the pawprints overlap with her own handprints that she added earlier.]

There! Sin é, that's it. It's startin' to look more like the den now.

[Seemingly satisfied, Mebh goes to another part of the wall where she's in the process of painting something else; it's meant to look like this, though Mebh's artistic ability doesn't quite match her vision so it looks a good deal cruder.

Will Mebh get in trouble with the Dog Keeper for painting on the walls of her room without asking? Probably. But at least she's preoccupying herself instead of dwelling on what she's lost. If she's going to stay in a room instead of the woods, she can at least make it look more like home.]

( It's a mess, but Frisk doesn't comment on that when they respond to the feed. Instead, they offer a thumbs up, nodding their head. )

Good job.

( They're impressed by her artistic ability! It's really impressive, to say the least... )

[mactirebeag]

Thanks! We had these all over our den back home.

[She's working mostly from memory and she's not the most professional artist, but she's still trying to make this place feel more familiar in a way she knows how.]

[stilljustyou]

( They can't blame her at all for wanting a piece of home here. It's at least enough to help someone feel a little more comfortable in a strange new world... )

Does it feel more like home now?

[mactirebeag]

A little. This room is still...too square. [Like a cage, almost.]

But at least I can make it look a bit more like me den.

[stilljustyou]

Is there a way to make it seem more like a den?

( They aren't really sure what having a den completely constitutes of. )

[mactirebeag]

It needs more stuff from outside. Like grass and rocks and stuff. But you can't get much of that right now. [On account of it being winter and all.]

Stuff that makes it smell more like the forest.

[stilljustyou]

We could buy different plants since it's too cold to find anything outside.

( Just an idea... It might not be the best substitute, but Frisk wants to help somehow. )

[mactirebeag]

You can buy plants?

[This has never occurred to Mebh before...mostly because she simply isn't used to just buying things. She generally either hunts or steals, and there isn't much to hunt here.]

But most plants don't grow in winter. Where would they get 'em?

[stilljustyou]

Uh-huh.

Even though it's cold, there might be a store that has some.

[mactirebeag]

A store? Like the ones in the town?

[Mebh's not exactly fond of going into Trench unless she absolutely has to, like getting food. But if they sell plants there...]

Alright, then. We can go look.

[stilljustyou]

Okay.

( They can go whenever she wants. Frisk doesn't mind. )

We can pick out whichever one reminds you most of home.

[mactirebeag]

Yeah!

And maybe we can get us some town tasties, too.

[Mebh won't pass up the opportunity to nab some food if she can get it.]

[stilljustyou]

How about hot chocolate this time?

( It'd be good for how cold it's been. )
