Descensum Altar

Here she was again, at the same altar she'd visited before, offering up a pretty lame decoration that the familiars hadn't seemed all that impressed with. Kaija wasn't really best at reading the moods of others but it'd been pretty apparent to her that her little painted rocks had been lackluster. So here she was to try again, and this time she was pleased when she came across the scent of none other than her brother, Arne. It'd been ages since she'd seen him but she'd recognize his scent and face anywhere. It took a remarkable amount of self-control not to barrel him over completely as she approached the statue, but the familiars gave her a look of reproach that she did her best to acknowledge. Still, she made to head butt her brother as she finally approached, hoping he'd hang around for a moment to catch up after she made her offering.

She didn't have much in the way of physical items and anything she could scrounge up she wasn't sure would do. But maybe she could entertain the statue a little anyway. Giving a little pseudo-bow, she approached the statue with its grinning expression and offered a smile of her own. "Hi there, erm, whoever you are," she started carefully. She thought to call it mister or miss just to make a show of it but she couldn't tell which it was. Whatever. "Anyway, I don't really tend to keep many things around," Kaija gestured to some of the other offerings with her tusked head. She was pretty sure which one was Arne's, and she fought back a snicker. "But I thought maybe you might like a joke." Did inanimate objects like jokes? Hell if she knew. There was something about the altar that seemed oddly alive, even though she wasn't really spiritual or superstitious or any of those things.

"Okay. What do you call a fly with no wings?" She waited, her tail giving a little wag. It wasn't a surprise the wolf statue didn't reply but she gave it a chance to anyway. "A walk!" At least it made her laugh, and she gave a little chuckle as she backed away from it. At least it was one offering the familiars didn't have to mess around with - hopefully they liked it even if the statue didn't.
