>Sparks conversation with Perseus, the detecting-dog, before they're cleared to enter town
>She asks what it's like to be a dog or have the blessing of speech
>He just asks what it's like to be so pretty and talk so warm
>Indeed, no matter how many times she reminds him, he just sticks to calling her pretty lady

>He listens diligently, never flinching away when she speaks her sweet words
>The squirrels that once distracted him don't when she's there

>You can normally tell they're acquainted by the sound of tail-thudding
>Every time the party comes back from a quest, he runs to them

>Their favorite innkeeper comes out, explaining to them that there was an accident
>Some horses got loose and almost stampeded some children but Perseus moved them out in time
>He's breathing, but it doesn't look good.
>He keeps asking where the pretty lady is
>And there he was, he was hurt but he was still going.
>The most beautiful sound in the world to her . . . His voice
>She keeps saying how happy she is to see him
>And how sorry she was that she had been gone so long
>He asks her to read the book in her warm voice
>Trembling, she pulls it out, and reads his favorite story
>About how when the Earth split, and man and animal chose two sides, that dog chose the side man was on
>She starts crying uncontrollably, holding her face to his chest
>He tells her it's all okay>He tells her goodbye isn't forever.

did they fuck?

Well, she's a rather religious woman. I don't know if she could engage in a childless relationship like that, though I suppose it's perfectly possible, given her faith.
In either case, whether they were intimate or no, she definitely did one thing.She loved him.
>>47802101
Why didn't she just heal him? She's a cleric.
>>47802671
He was already pretty close to gone by the time they returned, and the emotional duress she was under couldn't have helped.
If anything, that makes it worse. That she couldn't do anything, say perhaps ease his pain some.
>>47802700
no siriusly, why didn't she just heal him. a fucking cantrip fixes this.
either she is the worst cleric, or her DM is shit.
or D&D is shit. not ruling that out.
>>47803024
Failing that, go find a Druid to cast Reincarnation. He'd probably be all for it, and the dog might end up as something she can fuck without being a weirdo

OP just made the story up guys
There was never a talking dog NPC

>>47803024
Lawful characters are literally cucks. Neutral or chaotic would fuck the world up just to save loved one, but lawful prefers to suck it because that's the order of things.
>>47803286
making up a story does not give you a license to be a bad storyteller.
>>47803355
He's collecting (you)s. Being a bad storyteller is a useful skill, because people will reply to the thread thinking they've outsmarted OP.
>>47803433
>write shitty story
>people give (You)s
>they rememeber you as shitty storyteller
What's the point?
