"they flip the siren, hit the lights" ✭ ── Most of the time, Angelembrace tried to give Sojourn her space. The woman was like a ticking time bomb, he didn’t know if there would be another episode where his safety was subtly threatened. Although, as of late she seemed to be doing...better? Something like that. Still better to take caution of course, but this was one of those few times where he simply couldn’t help it. Usually it was because he was checking on Ruven, but this time he was making such a choice completely on his own. Because carnivorous fish.

His mother’s less than tactful exclamation drew him over, though he also opted to leave her alone, looking into the water that Aphra and Solsken seemed to be talking about. And that’s when he saw the dark scales and the feast of chunks of meat. Angel’s eyes widened, out of fascination not fear, and seemed genuinely excited. ”Carnivorous fish? That’s incredible!” Or perhaps not, he just found them to be. Not that it mattered what someone else may think about his strange and sudden fascination.

Honestly, Arvid found the prospect of owning another animal as a pet to be pretty intriguing. After all, where did one draw the line between one animal being sentient, and one animal being a pet? One could say that sentient animals were able to talk, but that wasn't always true. There were plenty of mutes out there, or those that had been rendered as such through injuries or trauma. He supposed it was all just a matter of brain power, although even that was a bit iffy. If he considered himself to be more intelligent than others, he didn't consider them to be any less sentient. Either way, it didn't matter all that much at this very moment. He hadn't encountered any creature thus far that he wanted to keep as a "pet," with the closest thing he had ever come to one being his experimental mice. And he was fairly sure a pet owner wasn't supposed to feed their beloved little angels poison, so he didn't really think that counted.

Regardless of his own opinions on pets, the canine did have to admit it was exciting to see what Sojourn had chosen to take on as her own little companion. Or, well, relatively little. It didn't surprise him that it was something carnivorous and intimidating, considering that certainly seemed to match the kingpin's nature very well. Much like Angel, Arvid had a grin on his muzzle as he approached, watching the waters with interest. His tail wagged a bit behind him as he spoke, the dark shape within the pond keeping his sole attention, for the moment, "Well... that's certainly an interesting choice, Sojourn. I like it, though. Not only is it good companionship, but it's useful as well!" If he ever needed to get rid of the evidence of something, he certainly knew where to go. Of course, that only led him to wondering – how long would the carnivorous fish take to consume something like... a fully grown feline?

Would you like to feed her? The question caused Arvid's gaze to practically light up with excitement, a grin spreading across his muzzle. Of course he wanted to feed the carnivorous beast living in Sojourn's backyard. With his tail wagging enthusiastically behind him, the canine nodded and reached out to take the chunk of bloody meat, ignoring the way that it stained his paws. Not like he hadn't handled worse in his scientific pursuits, after all. He made sure to thank Sojourn, returning the kingpin's surprisingly warm smile, "Thank you. I definitely want to feed her... she seems a beautiful creature." The warning about not falling in was appreciated, but Arvid had already been pretty confident of the fact that falling in was not a good idea. The difference between a wanderer and the chunks of meat offered to the beast were relatively small, after all.

Moving to the edge of the water, the thane took a deep breath inwards before he tossed the meat forward, watching as it fell into the small pond and sat there, momentarily. He then felt no small amount of glee fill him as the beast rose from the waters, chomping down the offering before descending once more. As he stepped back, he said with a chuckle, "Oh... that was fun." He could also see how it would be relaxing – at least, after you got used to doing it the first few times.
