[ Louis appears on the screen. He's wearing a sweater in a lot of seasonal colors. ]

Before I get started, I'll get it out of the way:

Yes. I'm a deer. No, it's not magic or anything related to here. It's just who I am. Ten fingers, five toes.

[ And he'll leave that there - ]

Anyway -

I'm asking about your winter holidays. Mine is really just around the corner - it's Rexmas. It celebrates the survival of a dinosaur to evolved into a bird in order to survive when the meteor fell. It's the birthday of the dinosaur. It's mostly just a family holiday that you enjoy with family and friends.

I used to get outrageous gifts from my dad when I was small.

[ It's said pretty fondly. ]

And next month is the Odd Soul Festival, but that's in the odd months of the year. So it happens often. It's how as herbivores we celebrate not getting eaten.

[ He pauses. ]

And when I ask for continued protection.

I know they're pretty different from what other people celebrate, though. That's why I'm curious.

[He cringes some] Is wanting to eat a person not worse? Ah, I fear I may be opening a door to rather dark subjects. Perhaps it might be best not to dwell on it.

That would make sense. If I may, what are the views on consuming, say, eggs or milk in your world?

[disasdeer]

It is.

I've eaten cake and bread with either or both. They're given voluntarily as a job.

[Huh, interesting. Though the idea of eating eggs laid by a person is a little weird to Aymeric, more than anything, he's glad it's entirely voluntary.]

That is well. Besides curiosity, I ask because I thought perhaps we might exchange recipes? I know several vegetarian dishes that I can offer, though my repertoire is always open to expanding. If nothing else, let this be in the spirit of the season - an act of generosity and kindness.

Well...I don't cook, so I wouldn't have any to offer in return. I mean. I sometimes jus cut some vegetables, toss them in oil, then roast them. I'm usually pretty good with just eating some raw vegetables, though. I eat a lot of salads.

[ He does have people who cook for him, but...they aren't himself. ]
