Description
Day three of Talestober!
I'm sure there are other examples of cat and dog debates in the series, but the only two that immediately sprang to mind were the ones from Berseria and Xillia. But I went with Berseria for today because I felt like drawing the whole crew. Which... took a while, as you can tell.
"I saw Benwick and the rest of the crew get into a serious fight over whether cats or dogs were better. I don't get what the big deal is."
"I CAT believe you could say such a thing! No conflict is more perilous than the one that has DOGGED mankind since the dawn of civilization! In the shadow of every war are the battles of dog lovers and cat lovers. Between each side lies a divide. Maybe not all that deep, but unbridgeable all the same. I'd say we're lucky that the squabble you saw didn't escalate into something more serious."
"I had no idea it was such a big deal... So what side to all of you fall on?"
"I am, without a doubt, a cat person. Cats and witches have a long history together."
"Personally, I prefer dogs because they can cohabit with humans while following the rules. But... I like cats, too, because they're cute."
"What about you, Rokurou?"
"Shigure liked cats, so I don't. But I like dogs even less, always wagging their tails for their masters."
"I feel the same way. Dogs will trade anything for food. Learning tricks, wagging their tails, getting friendly, and in time, even forgetting to howl."
"I think that's too cynical. Dogs make efforts to please humans so that we can live together. They're friendly and compassionate creatures."
"Then does that make you a cat person, Eizen?"
"Actually, I like squirrels best. When I lived with my sister, the nearby forest had lots of nice, fluffy squirrels that would let me pet them."
"This isn't about squirrels, it's about cats and dogs. You have to pick a side."
"If I had to choose... yeah, it'd be cats. There's something lovable about the way they act, especially when you spoil them. Reminds me a lot of my sister."
"What about you, Velvet? Cats or dogs?"
"Dogs. They don't betray you."
