[When the frame comes into focus it's sitting a pile of candy, then shifts and shuffles around against he fur of his paw before he settles down against a couch behind him. A low leoine rumble is heard, Shadow obviously, before he actually turns the camera to face him.]

Why didn't anyone tell me that candy would hurt your teeth?

[Yeah, the kid looks absolutely miserable right now. It's a mix of eating too much and a bad tooth ache. He opens his mouth to say something, then huffs. Now what? He doesn't know.]

You can't get a cavity over night, right? Does anyone know?

Comments

[resipiscent]

[He's right about them not being overnight, but...]

Um... maybe you had one starting already?

[orions_shadow]

Don'chu think I'da known by now?

[resipiscent]

Maybe the candy sped it up. [He's not a dentist, Shadow, please.]

[orions_shadow]

...Maybe I shouldn't have bothered with it. I never had this problem with icecream or nothin else.

Just chocolate. Just this halloween candy.

[resipiscent]

You're gonna think I'm dumb for asking this, [he feels dumb asking] but you've been brushing, right?

[orions_shadow]

With a tooth brush, right?

I brush sometimes. But the vet I saw for Kitkat gave me some of these denta-bone things and I been chewin' on them too. [Shut up they're for dogs but they taste like chicken.]

[resipiscent]

Does that work?

[He supposes with teeth like that, maybe it would...]

Hm. Well, if you've been taking care of your teeth, then maybe it's genetics or something.

[orions_shadow]

The first tooth brush I got in this world I kinda chewed up anyway.

[Odd habit, but then lion's tend to chew on the bones of their prey.]

But I heal fast. I don't see how genetics factor into this when my genetics are magic!

[Okay, he's going to pull his lip up to show his teeth, his front teeth looked just fine. But again, Riku, you're not a dentist.]

Shee any ting?

[resipiscent]

Well, even with magic, how does your body know how to do its job without any genes? You must have some sort of genetics, even if none of it is strictly inherited.

[He raises a brow, leaning toward the screen a little.]

I can't tell over the video.

[orions_shadow]

...Okay so...

I have genes. Normal ones. It's just that I'd figured I'd just heal any cavities completely.

[resipiscent]

Is that one of your powers?

Maybe it isn't a cavity, then.

[orions_shadow]

Yeah. I heal fast, an I never had cavities even when I didn't brush my teeth.

[So as far as he can tell he's doing better with his dental health than he has in the last five years.]

[beneathbluerafters]

... Wait, candy does what?

[orions_shadow]

My teeth hurts. All I ate yesterday was candy and now my teeth hurt.

[resipiscent]

Hm... In that case, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe someone else has more knowledge on dental stuff, but...

[He has no clue about these things.]

I guess all I can do is.... wish your teeth well, haha.

[beneathbluerafters]

You're sure you don't have... I don't know, new fangs coming in?

[orions_shadow]

...?

Bro, I lost all my baby teeth like, forever ago. [But that was when he was human, when he was growing up on a different time scale.]

[beneathbluerafters]

I don't know! I've never heard of candy injuring your mouth. It seemed like a possible alternative.

[orions_shadow]

...I guess it might be? But it makes no sense.

[orions_shadow]

Not funny Riku.

[resipiscent]

Well, what am I supposed to say? I can bring you some ice if you want to chew on that.

[beneathbluerafters]

No more than the candy.

[animalage]

I'm gonna guess nobody told you cause I think most people know that by the time they're like seven.

[orions_shadow]

What? What do people know? [Seriously BB, he has no idea what you're talking about.]

[orions_shadow]

If it's just new teeth why's it hurt so bad? [Growing pains, Shadow. Poor boy is getting bigger.]

[Video]

[timeshares]

Nnnnot unless cursed, probably.

Unless it's a cat thing.

[beneathbluerafters]

I don't know, I'm not a dental expert!
