[Nayru]

The day was stagnant and hot, the humidity reaching a record for the month yet only anticipated to rise as they truly got into the depths of summer. Nayru, personally, was dying. Even with her light-colored pelt and her thin fur, she felt as if the sun itself was boiling her alive and thus opted to stay within the shade as much as humanly possible. Chad, on the other hand, enjoyed the perpetual warmth and took every opportunity he had to bask silently within the sun's rays. He was doing so now actually, completely unfazed by his companion and the fresh meat that she was slicing into delicate chunks with the dagger gifted to her by Fenris. She certainly wasn't using it for its intended purpose but she figured that her unofficial dad wouldn't really mind. Besides, she didn't know how to actually use it anyways.

After a suitable amount of meat had sliced and placed into a sealed container, Nayru brandished the next object in her arsenal- a little ball with a bell in it. [b][color=#6b7e99]"Chad!" She called out loudly, placing the ball a little ways away from her. He hissed as his name was spoken before begrudgingly abandoning his place to approach her. Immediately, she rewarded him with a small piece of meat. [color=#6b7e99]"Stay," She ordered, utilizing the authoritative voice she had developed back within Akala. After ensuring that he wasn't going anywhere, she tossed the ball, watching it bounce and jingle until it slowed to a stop quite a distance from them. [color=#6b7e99]"Go to the ball," Nayru continued.

Chad, however, had decided to resume his basking, oblivious now to the ball and his companion who was trying to train him. He was well mannered enough, Nayru knew that, she just needed to ensure that he worked with her and her commands. [color=#6b7e99]"Come on, Chad! Go get it!" She commanded, nudging her alligator and promptly earning a low hiss from him. He snapped his jaws a few time before slowly rising and waddling towards it. Good. That was good. Retrieving another piece of meat, she tossed it to him.

This was going alright so far... now, she just needed to record her results and also see how he reacted when he had an audience. Easy enough, she supposed, it wasn't exactly easy to get any alone time around here.
